CI 14720
Is CI 14720 safe for seborrheic dermatitis?
CI 14720 is context-dependent for seborrheic dermatitis. It adds colour to a product and has no role in treating Malassezia, itching or inflammation.
No direct human seb derm or ingredient-specific Malassezia study was found. Colourant permissions depend on product type and jurisdiction, while personal reactions depend on the complete formula. If a brightly coloured product repeatedly worsens burning or redness, stop using that product rather than assuming the dye is the only cause.

What is CI 14720 used for in skincare?
CI 14720 is a synthetic colour additive used to give cosmetics a red or pink tone. It is included for appearance and product identity, not for moisturising or treatment. It is commonly combined with other colourants, fragrance, surfactants and film formers in rinse-off products, makeup and selected personal-care formulas where regulations permit its use.
