Functions
Fragrance
Added for scent. Can be natural or synthetic. Common irritant and allergen — one of the top reasons people react to products.
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Skin Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.

Traditional Use
Synthetic azo dye developed in the late 19th century as an artificial colorant. Created to replace natural dyes in cosmetics and textiles, it became widely used in color cosmetics though it has since been restricted or banned in many regions due to safety concerns.
