CI 73360
Is CI 73360 safe for seborrheic dermatitis?
CI 73360 is context-dependent for seborrheic dermatitis. It colours a product red or pink and has no role in treating seb derm or feeding Malassezia as a lipid source.
No direct human seb derm or ingredient-specific Malassezia evidence was found. Colourants are governed by product type, purity and regional use conditions, so the finished product matters more than the pigment name alone. If inflamed skin reacts to a coloured cosmetic, pause the whole product rather than assuming the pigment is the only possible cause.

What is CI 73360 used for in skincare?
CI 73360 is a synthetic red pigment used to give colour to cosmetics. It is a visual ingredient rather than a moisturiser or active, and may be dispersed with oils, silicones, powders or binders so the colour stays even. It is most relevant in makeup, tinted skincare and some personal-care products.
