Understanding D&C Colors:

A Colorful Journey D&C is a short form for drug and cosmetic colors. They are synthetic dyes approved by the FDA and can be used in different drugs and cosmetics according to the requirement. These dyes are made from petroleum derivatives and coal tars and go through an approval process to ensure safety for the intended use. Before using the colors, it is approved for different processes that include tests for toxicity, carcinogenicity, and other potentially harmful effects. You must know that only dyes approved under the safety standards are used further in other products. It is an advantage of D&C dyes that these are water-soluble and are suitable for use in liquid products. They provide intense, vibrant colors. D&C lakes are pigments made by precipitating dyes onto an inert substrate, such as alumina hydrate. They have better color stability and opacity compared to dyes. Some popularly used D&C colors in drugs and cosmetics are D&C Red No. 6, D&C Red No. 7, D&C Red No. 17, and D&C Red No. 33. However, more variants are available on our website.
