About
An acid-based azo dye (CI 17200) used for cosmetic coloring in products like hair dyes and color cosmetics. Azo dye classification requires consideration of potential amine release under reduction.
This disodium sulfonate azo dye is used for coloring in cosmetic formulations. Like other azo colorants, it carries theoretical concern for reductive cleavage of the azo bond, potentially releasing aromatic amines. However, modern azo pigments used in cosmetics are extensively tested and many are approved under EU CosIng without specific restrictions beyond general cosmetic safety provisions. The absence of GHS hazard statements in the provided data suggests a relatively favorable safety profile for this particular dye at current usage levels.
