Caution

Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.

A cationic azo dye (Basic Red 76) restricted to a maximum of 2% in EU cosmetics, carrying aquatic toxicity and suspected carcinogenicity warnings.

This is Basic Red 76 (CAS 68391-30-0), a cationic azo dye with a trimethylammonium group. Under EU Regulation 1223/2009 Annex III, it is restricted to a maximum concentration of 2% in cosmetic preparations. The hazard statements H400 (aquatic acute toxicity) and H410 (aquatic chronic toxicity) indicate significant environmental concern. H351 classifies it as a suspected carcinogen, limiting its use to products with careful benefit-risk assessment and exclusion from rinse-off trajectories near waterways.

Known concerns

  • H351 — suspected carcinogen (IARC category 2B)
  • H400/H410 — very toxic to aquatic organisms with long-lasting effects
  • Restricted to ≤2% in EU-permitted cosmetic applications
