D&C Red 21 Al Lake
D&C Red 21 Al Lake | Cosmetic Colour Manufacturer & Supplier
Advik Colors is a trusted Indian manufacturer of D&C Red 21 Al Lake, supplying high-purity cosmetic lake pigments for lipsticks, lip glosses, makeup, personal care, and beauty product manufacturers worldwide.
D&C Red 21 Al Lake Cosmetic Color is an aluminium-based lake pigment created by fixing the dye onto an insoluble substrate, making it ideal for cosmetics that require colour retention without bleeding or migration. Unlike water-soluble dyes, this lake form delivers controlled dispersion and long-lasting vibrancy across complex cosmetic bases.
Manufactured using carefully monitored precipitation and filtration processes, the pigment offers excellent particle consistency, smooth texture, and dependable shade reproducibility from batch to batch. Its insoluble nature allows it to perform exceptionally well in oil-rich, wax-based, and pressed formulations where colour stability is non-negotiable.
At Advik Colors, production follows strict quality benchmarks to ensure low impurity levels, uniform colour strength, and reliable compatibility with modern cosmetic systems. Each batch undergoes internal checks for shade accuracy, dispersion behaviour, and formulation performance, making it suitable for both mass-market and premium beauty brands.
The result is a cosmetic colour that delivers visual impact without compromising formulation integrity, helping manufacturers achieve bold reds with confidence, scalability, and global market readiness.
