Functioncolorant

What it is — Red 33 (CI 17200) is a synthetic colourant used to tint cosmetic products a red or pink shade.

What it does — It provides colour to the product itself and does not deliver a skincare benefit.

Typical use — It appears at low levels in colour cosmetics, some skincare and haircare, and personal-care products where a specific shade is wanted.

Who it suits / good to know — A purely aesthetic ingredient. Some people prefer to avoid added synthetic dyes, and a few individuals can be sensitive to specific colourants, so those with reactive skin may wish to check the INCI list.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it mid risk: a cosmetic-only dye with no skin benefit. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test if your skin is easily irritated.

Why we grade it Mid: Mid risk — cosmetic-only dye, no skin benefit.
