About

A violet pigment used to color cosmetics. Insoluble pigment particles sit on skin rather than penetrate, giving a generally low-risk safety profile at cosmetic grade.

Skin benefits

  • Provides stable violet color in cosmetics
  • Excellent lightfastness
  • Low solubility limits skin penetration

Known concerns

  • Pigment grade purity matters for heavy metal limits
  • Possible mild contact reactions in sensitive users
