RED 22 LAKE [CI 45380 / RED 22 LAKE]
Red 22 lake is a red pigment often used in waxy cosmetic products, such as lipsticks, to give a lovely red colour. The pigment can be made by precipitating the pigment Red 22 with aluminium salts rendering it insoluble in water, which helps prevent leaking of colour in the final product. The treatment also ensures an even spread of pigment in a product.
