Ingredient
Yellow No.5
Mid risk
FunctionColorant
What it is — Yellow No.5 (Tartrazine) is a synthetic, regulated cosmetic color additive.
What it does — It provides a yellow color to a product and offers no skin benefit; its purpose is entirely aesthetic.
Typical use — Used in colored cosmetics and personal-care items where a yellow shade is desired.
Who it suits / good to know — Approved for cosmetic use, but tartrazine is a colorant some individuals can be sensitive to, so reactive users may prefer dye-free options.
Safety — DHALIORA grades it mid risk. This is general information, not medical advice; patch-test if you are prone to sensitivity.
