Aluminium Lakes are pigments created by combining water-soluble dyes with aluminium salts, which makes them insoluble in water but dispersible in oil-based formulations. This unique property makes them ideal for colouring products where water exposure would affect stability, such as in tablets, capsules, and certain cosmetic products.
Their vibrant, stable colours hold up well under light, heat, and acidic conditions, making them a popular choice for long-lasting colour in cosmetics. Aluminium Lakes are widely used in lipsticks, eye shadows, blushes, and nail polishes.
Did you know?
Aluminium Lakes can be custom-formulated to achieve a wide range of shades, but they are particularly valued
for colours that are hard to achieve with water-soluble dyes, like certain reds and blues!

Aluminium Lake is a synthetic colorant widely used in cosmetics for colouring lipsticks, eye shadows, blushes, nail polishes, and other personal care products. It provides vibrant, stable colour that is resistant to bleeding and migration, making it ideal for oil-based and anhydrous formulations where water-soluble dyes cannot be used.
Yes, Aluminium Lake is approved for use in lip and eye cosmetics when manufactured to purity standards. It is non-toxic, non-irritating, and stable under normal use conditions. The grades supplied by Pharmgenity Health comply with pharmacopoeial and regulatory requirements for colour cosmetics.
