D&C Red 27 Aluminum Lake - FDA Batch Certified

FDA Batch Certified Color Additive

D&C Red No. 27 Aluminum Lake

Certified % of total color:  17%

Oil Soluble.

Form:  Powder

Certified for use in:

Drugs & Cosmetics - in amounts consistent with current Good Manufacturing Practice. 

Safety Applications:  Lips and General Use.  Not for use near the eyes.

This color has been certified at 17% total dye load.  If this item is stored in an airtight container with extremely limited exposure to humidity, it will not expire.

When making bath bombs, liquid soap, bubble bars or bath salts,  polysorbate 80 must be used to properly disperse color in water.  Use in the liquid stage at 1-2%.  This is because the aluminum lakes are oil dispersible but not oil soluble or water soluble. Using polysorbate will help eliminate the powder ring or floating powder.

Re:  FDA Batch Certification

Mad Oils, Inc (parent company of Mad Micas) has been repack certified.  This means that we are certified by the FDA to repack our larger quantities into smaller containers.  Every container is certified under the repack certification with an FDA issued Lot Number and our batch number that FDA has given to us for this batch.  Their laboratory determines the Batch Number along with the percent of dye load it contains before we sell it.

Colorants, which are subject to batch certification regulations MUST be batch certified or they ARE NOT PERMITTED TO BE USED IN PRODUCTS INTENDED FOR SALE. If you buy dyes or aluminum lakes and you create and sell your products in the United States, those powders must be batch certified or you are breaching fda regulations.
