FD&C Aluminium Lake

Aluminum lake color is made by precipitating FD&C dyes onto an aluminum hydroxide substrate. The result is an insoluble lake pigment that's then dried and milled.

Aluminum lake color is used to coat tablets, capsules, and other dosage forms. It's also used to color cosmetics like lipsticks and lip balms, as well as foods like chocolates and frosting.

Aluminum lake color is stable and doesn't bleed easily, unlike dyes that dissolve in water. This makes it a good choice for products with multiple colors or well-defined boundaries.
