CI Red 7 Lake - Intense Vegan Red Pigment for Cosmetics

CI (D&C) Red 7 Lake is a high-performance synthetic cosmetic pigment, developed for professional and DIY formulations that demand strong color payoff, excellent coverage and a true matte finish. Despite its synthetic origin, it is 100% vegan, as it contains no animal-derived ingredients, making it a modern alternative to traditional red pigments such as carmine.

Its shade ranges from deep red to cherry red, delivering bold, clean color with impressive opacity. The finish is completely matte, ideal for contemporary makeup products with a refined, professional look.

CI Red 7 Lake can be used in all types of makeup products, with a strong focus on lip products such as lipsticks, lip balms and lip creams, where intense color is required with minimal pigment load. It can also be used to color soaps, providing a stable and vibrant red tone.

As a highly concentrated pigment, only a very small amount is needed to achieve the desired color intensity. It blends seamlessly with mica pigments, iron oxides and ultramarines, offering endless possibilities for custom shade creation.

When stored properly in a cool, dry place, CI Red 7 Lake maintains its quality for up to 3 years.
