CI 16185
Is CI 16185 safe for seborrheic dermatitis?
Use with caution
EU rules prohibit CI 16185 when it is used as a substance in hair dye products, while Annex IV lists it as an allowed cosmetic colorant subject to the stated conditions. Its general suitability therefore depends on product use and regulatory compliance.
Check that the finished product uses CI 16185 as a permitted colorant rather than as a hair dye substance, and follow the product directions.
