Advik Colors is a trusted Indian manufacturer of FD&C Red 40 Al Lake, supplying high-purity cosmetic lake pigments for lipsticks, makeup, personal care, and beauty product manufacturers worldwide.
Inorganic FD&C Red 40 Al Lake Cosmetic Colour is an aluminium-bound lake pigment developed from FD&C Red 40, designed specifically for industrial and professional cosmetic applications. The inorganic formulation ensures enhanced stability and long-lasting colour performance, making it ideal for large-scale manufacturing.
The pigment is produced by carefully precipitating the dye onto aluminium salts under strict process control, resulting in a uniform particle structure that enhances colour intensity, shade consistency, and formulation compatibility. It integrates smoothly into oil-based, wax-based, and pressed cosmetic systems, providing reliable colour distribution without affecting texture or product performance.
This inorganic pigment demonstrates excellent resistance to heat, light, and mechanical stress, making it suitable for a wide variety of cosmetic products, including lip, eye, face, and nail formulations. Each batch undergoes stringent quality checks to ensure shade repeatability, high purity, and dependable supply. Advik Colors delivers this pigment in formats suitable for manufacturers, private-label brands, wholesalers, and exporters seeking consistent and high-quality red colour solutions.
