Lavanya colours stand for vibrancy, consistency and quality; Making your cosmetics class apart.
The US FDA has announced the revocation of FD&C Red No. 3 (CI 45430) for use in food and ingested drug products, with compliance deadlines set for January 15, 2027 (food) and January 18, 2028 (ingested drugs).
In the rest of the world, Erythrosine (CI 45430) remains permitted as before. However, manufacturers in the U.S.A. and those intending to export their end products to the U.S.A. must now reformulate their end products using approved alternative colours and discontinue FD&C Red No. 3 in compliance with the US FDA deadlines mentioned above.
To support this transition, Neelikon is pleased to introduce a new range of high-quality colour solutions—specifically developed as alternatives to FD&C Red No. 3. These newly launched products include both natural and synthetic colour options, offering regulatory compliance along with excellent performance and vibrant shades.
Pharmaceutical colours are widely demanded in the production of medicine, be it tablets, syrups, or ointments. Our customized blends help not just the manufacturer of such medicinal drugs, but also the end-user. Counterfeiting has been a constant risk that pharma companies have to battle while providing genuine products to their customers, which is eliminated due to our high-purity water-insoluble colourants. The pigments and colours we offer are well-researched with uncompromised quality standards, such as:
- Water Soluble Colours (powdered & granular form)
- Water Insoluble Lakes that are very finely textured and suitable for tablet coatings.
- USFDA (CFR Title 21) certified colours and lakes.
- High-purity Iron Oxide (red, yellow and black) and Titanium Dioxide
