Official label name (INCI name, EU glossary of cosmetic ingredient names), No 6380

CI 19140: Allowed with restrictions, maximum 0.5% in the ready-for-use preparation, only in: Hair dye substance in non-oxidative hair dye products (Annex III, entry 189); colorant allowed under conditions (Annex IV, entry 44), under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009.

In plain words

What it is used for

Functions declared by manufacturers:

Colorant: colours cosmetics and/or imparts colour to the skin and/or its appendages.

Hair dyeing: colours hair.

What the rules say

Allowed, with restrictions: Annex III sets a maximum concentration and the product types allowed. Ingredient lists do not give quantities, so the concentration cannot be checked on the label.

An ingredient can be used as a colorant only if it appears on the list of Annex IV. CI 19140 is on it with a warning to print.
