Moderate
Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.
A dinitro-naphthalene sulfonate color additive (CI 1036) used in cosmetic formulations at restricted concentrations with skin sensitisation concerns.
This nitro-substituted naphthalene sulfonate functions as a color additive providing orange-red coloration in cosmetic preparations. It carries H317 (skin sensitisation) and H373 (organ effects through prolonged exposure) hazard classifications. The EU CosIng database records a maximum concentration of 0.2% for this color agent. The presence of both nitro groups and sulfonate moieties contributes to its environmental persistence and potential for bioaccumulation in aquatic organisms.
