About
Disperse Blue 377 is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Disperse Blue 377 is an anthraquinone-derived disperse dye used in semi-permanent hair colour formulations to achieve blue and violet tones. Anthraquinone dyes are generally better tolerated than para-phenylenediamine derivatives but still carry mild sensitisation potential. The compound has no GHS hazard statements on record and no specific EU Annex III restriction, meaning it is permitted without a prescribed maximum concentration limit, subject to general product safety assessment under the EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009.
Known concerns
- Skin sensitisation (mild, anthraquinone class)
- Potential for cross-reactivity with other anthraquinone dyes
