Ci 77266/Black 2 ●
TL;DR. This ingredient is an insoluble colorant pigment used to create deep it color, opacity, and lash or liner definition in makeup and personal care formulas.
What does Ci 77266/Black 2 do in a cosmetic formula?
This ingredient is an insoluble colorant pigment used to create deep it color, opacity, and lash or liner definition in makeup and personal care formulas.
Is Ci 77266/Black 2 clean?
From DARE's lens, this is a high-friction pigment because many clean programs restrict it over PAH impurity controls and inhalation concerns in respirable powder or spray formats. Skin irritation is usually low when the pigment is well bound in wax, liquid, or pressed systems, so supplier purity documentation is the main practical issue.
Is Ci 77266/Black 2 sustainable?
This material is typically made by high-temperature combustion or thermal decomposition of fossil-derived feedstocks. It is highly persistent as an inert particulate and does not offer a strong renewable-sourcing or biodegradability profile.
Is Ci 77266/Black 2 COSMOS-approved?
It is generally not permitted in COSMOS-natural or COSMOS-organic formulas because it is a synthetic, combustion-derived colorant rather than an approved nature-derived or mineral pigment. Its Green Chemistry fit is weak due to nonrenewable feedstocks, energy-intensive production, and environmental persistence.
How does Ci 77266/Black 2 work chemically?
This is not a discrete molecule, it is a highly insoluble particulate pigment made of fused graphitic domains that form aggregates and require strong dispersion control. It is broadly stable to pH, heat, light, and oxidation in finished products, and use level is usually driven by color strength, often from trace tinting amounts to several percent in mascaras, liners, and other high-impact color cosmetics.
