CI 45405.

Optional CAS 6441-77-6 / COLORANT

CI 45405, also identified as Acid Red 98 or Phloxin, is a synthetic xanthene dye utilized for its coloring properties. Its primary role in cosmetic formulations is to impart a specific hue to products, skin, or hair, often exhibiting fluorescent characteristics due to its molecular structure.

Summary

Colorant

Science

Mechanism of Action

This synthetic dye functions by directly depositing color onto the applied surface. The inherent xanthene core within CI 45405 is responsible for its characteristic color and contributes to its potential fluorescent qualities, providing a visual effect rather than a biological interaction with skin.
