About

A synthetic dye (CI 13065, also known as metanilic acid-derived color) with limited safety data; synthetic colorants in this class can be skin sensitisers and are heavily regulated in the EU.

Colouring agent CI 13065 (CAS 587-98-4) is a synthetic acid dye, chemically related to metanilic acid derivatives. Synthetic colorants are subject to EU cosmetic regulation; only approved colorants listed in Annex IV of Regulation 1223/2009 may be used. CI 13065 does not appear on the approved Annex IV list for cosmetic use, suggesting it is not authorised for use in EU cosmetic products. Dyes in this class may cause skin sensitisation and have been associated with allergic contact dermatitis. Restricted or prohibited status in major markets.
