FunctionColorant
What it is — Yellow No.4 is a synthetic, regulated cosmetic color additive (an azo-type colorant).
What it does — It gives a product its yellow color and does not provide a skin benefit; its role is purely aesthetic.
Typical use — Found in a variety of colored cosmetics and personal-care products where a yellow shade is wanted.
Who it suits / good to know — Generally suitable for most people at approved levels, but as a synthetic azo colorant it may occasionally cause sensitivity in some users.
Safety — DHALIORA grades it mid risk given that possible sensitivity. This is general information, not medical advice; patch-test if you are prone to reactions.
Why we grade it Mid: Mid risk — synthetic azo colorant; possible sensitivity for some users.
