CI 45370, also known as Orange 5, is an orange dye used in cosmetics to give products an orange or reddish color. This enhances product appearance and makes them more appealing to the users. CI 45370 works well in oil-based cosmetics and offers a vibrant pigmentation and good color stability. It can be found in lipsticks, lip glosses, blushes, bronzers, nail polishes, eyeshadows, and mascaras. However, Orange 5 has high use restrictions and is banned in several countries due to its potential risks of irritation. It is not approved by the FDA for use around the eyes and can only be used in limited amounts in other beauty products.
