D&C Red 27 Lake

D&C Red 27 Lake is a bright, bluish-red cosmetic pigment known for its strong tinting strength and matte finish — properties that make it a practical choice for nail lacquers, lip products, and pressed powder formulations where color depth and opacity matter. As a lake pigment, it is insoluble in most cosmetic carriers, which means it disperses rather than dissolves — giving formulators reliable, migration-resistant color in both water-based and anhydrous systems.
