FD&C Yellow 5J Al Lake (15-22%)

FD&C Yellow 5 Aluminum Lake at 15–22% dye content delivers a clean, neutral yellow in anhydrous cosmetic and food-adjacent formulations where the soluble dye form (Tartrazine) would migrate or bleed through wax, oil, or pressed powder matrices. The aluminum lake conversion of CI 19140 is insoluble in most cosmetic solvents — making it the standard specification for nail lacquer, lip color, pressed powder, and pharmaceutical tablet coatings that require a food-safe yellow without color instability in the finished product.
