Colour
What Colour is & what it does
"Colour" is a generic label on an ingredient list indicating that one or more colorants are present, rather than naming a single defined substance. It is used to tint or visually finish a product, and the actual dyes or pigments vary from formula to formula. Because the term is non-specific, the exact chemistry and any associated notes depend on which colorants the manufacturer chose. In sun care and skincare it generally serves a purely cosmetic, appearance-related role.
