About

Hc Red No. 14 is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

HC Red No. 14 is a synthetic hair dye colorant belonging to the HC (hydrocolloid) dye series, used to impart red tones in semi-permanent hair colour preparations. Toxicological data for this specific compound are limited, and it is not currently listed in EU Annex II restrictions. The absence of restriction data should be interpreted as insufficient evaluation rather than evidence of safety, and caution is warranted pending comprehensive REACH assessment.

Known concerns

  • Limited publicly available toxicological data
  • Insufficient REACH safety assessment
  • Potential for undeclared aromatic amine impurities
