Frequently Asked Questions

What is D&C Green No. 8 used for?

D&C Green No. 8 (CAS 3734-67-6) is a synthetic organic acid dye used as a cosmetic and industrial colorant to impart green color in formulated products. It is also used for tinting and shade adjustment in compatible aqueous systems, and is supplied as a powder or solution.

What are D&C colors?

'D&C' designates colorants in a regulatory naming category for drug and cosmetic applications, as distinct from 'FD&C' colorants. D&C Green No. 8 is one such color additive; the designation refers to the naming convention, not a quality grade.

What is the difference between FD&C and D&C colorants?

FD&C and D&C are color-additive naming categories distinguished by their permitted application scopes, with FD&C names used more broadly than D&C names. D&C Green No. 8 falls under the D&C designation.
