Regulatory Information
Red No. 40 FD&C Lake is a FDA-approved color additive and is subject to batch certification. It may be safely used in coloring cosmetics generally. For cosmetics intended for use in the area of the eye, it has to be used in amounts consistent with current good manufacturing practice and the color additive shall not be exposed to oxidizing or reducing agents that may affect the integrity of the color additives or any other condition that may affect their integrity. Batch certification means that this product has been certified batch by batch by the FDA. When we open such a FDA-certified package and repack it for you into smaller sizes, the repacked containers lose their certification. For this reason, you are not permitted by the FDA to use repacked certified color additives for producing cosmetics for resale. Please contact us if you need batch certified colors (they are available only in larger sizes).
