D&c red no. 30

D&C Red No. 30 (CAS 2379-74-0) is a synthetic organic pigment classified under the vat dye family, also known by trade names Vat Pink R, Pink R, and AKA226. It carries the colour index designation C.I. Red 30 and is approved for use in cosmetics and personal care products under D&C colour regulations in the United States.

In personal care formulations, D&C Red No. 30 imparts pink-to-red hues in lip products, blushes, and nail lacquers by dispersing as fine particles that absorb and reflect specific wavelengths of visible light. In textile and paper applications, it functions as a surface-modifying colorant, bonding to fibres through vat dyeing processes to deliver durable, wash-resistant coloration.

D&C Red No. 30 is supplied as a solid pigment powder and is subject to REACH registration requirements within the EU. Procurement should confirm compliance with applicable cosmetic regulations, including EU Cosmetics Regulation 1223/2009 Annex IV listings. Standard packaging formats include fibre drums and multi-wall bags.
