CI 74260
Is CI 74260 safe for seborrheic dermatitis?
CI 74260 is context-dependent for seborrheic dermatitis. It gives products a green colour and has no role in treating seb derm or supplying a fatty lipid to Malassezia.
No direct human seb derm or ingredient-specific yeast evidence was found. Colourants are controlled by product type, purity and regional use conditions, so the complete product matters more than the pigment name alone. If a coloured cosmetic irritates inflamed skin, stop the whole product rather than assuming the pigment is the only possible cause.

What is CI 74260 used for in skincare?
CI 74260 is a synthetic green pigment, commonly known as Pigment Green 7, used to give colour and help neutralise visible redness in tinted products. It is a visual ingredient rather than a moisturiser or active. It is typically dispersed with powders, oils, silicones and binders in makeup, colour-correctors and specialty personal-care products.
