Goldmann Basic Blue 124 in hair cosmetics: How to ensure colour brilliance, stability and regulatory compliance
The demands placed on modern hair colouring products are constantly increasing: from vibrant colours to sustainable formulation stability and regulatory safety. Direct dyes are crucial to the success of your formulation, especially in semi-permanent and temporary colour systems.
One of the key components for brilliant blue tones is Goldmann Basic Blue 124: a cationic dye that impresses with its high purity, colour stability and SCCS compliance.
Find out which quality and safety parameters are crucial when selecting your dyes, and how you can achieve consistent results in production through the right sourcing.
The quality factor: Why the choice of dye determines your formulation
In professional hair cosmetics, every nuance counts – literally. Even slight variations in dye quality or stability can affect the brilliance, coverage and durability of your products. Especially with direct dyes, which work without oxidation, the molecular size, purity and colour stability are crucial for even adhesion to the hair and a consistent colour effect.
Goldmann Basic Blue 124 is a proven dye in this area, specially developed for the requirements of semi-permanent and temporary hair colours. It delivers an intense, vibrant blue with excellent UV and formulation stability, even at low concentrations.
Regulatory certainty: SCCS compliance as a decisive competitive advantage
In the EU, colourants for cosmetic applications are subject to strict safety assessments by the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS). Many conventional blue shades, including Basic Blue 99, are coming under increasing regulatory pressure.
Basic Blue 124 offers an SCCS-compliant alternative that meets the requirements of modern cosmetics regulations. For manufacturers, this means certainty in formulation development and approval without compromising on colour brilliance and performance.
Three key criteria for successful dye formulations
When developing high-performance hair colours, manufacturers should pay particular attention to three factors:
- Stability and non-fading: Ensures consistent colour intensity throughout the entire product life cycle.
- Formulation compatibility: Compatibility with surfactants, conditioning agents and a wide pH range is crucial for a stable final formulation.
- High substantivity: The dye must adhere to the hair fibre efficiently and reproducibly, especially in the case of untreated or porous hair.
Goldmann Basic Blue 124 meets all these requirements with tested product quality and reliable batch consistency.
Secure supply chains for industrial formulators
In addition to chemical quality, delivery reliability plays a decisive role in production reliability. Goldmann guarantees short-term availability from its warehouse in Germany, industrial packaging units (1 kg, 5 kg, 25 kg) and provides samples and certificates of analysis (CoA) on request.
This allows you to quickly implement new colour concepts and secure your supply chains in the long term.
Conclusion
For manufacturers of hair cosmetics, selecting the right dye is a key factor in ensuring quality, safety and brand trust. With Goldmann Basic Blue 124, you get an SCCS-compliant, colour-stable and high-purity solution that takes your formulations to a new level.
