How the COLORANT function is used in CosIng

The COLORANT function is assigned by the European Commission in the CosIng ingredient inventory. This page currently lists 257 ingredients carrying that function label in the dataset, which helps you move from a functional claim to the exact ingredients that use it.

Exclusively or mainly intended to colour the cosmetic product, the body as a whole or certain parts thereof, by absorption or reflection of visible light. All authorised colorants are substances in the positive list of Annex IV to the Cosmetics Regulation 1223/2009.

Function assignments come from official EU CosIng data. They describe intended cosmetic use, but they do not replace regulatory review of each linked ingredient and any annex records tied to it.
