In reply to Rebekah Nutter. Rebekah, sorry to hear that. I wish brands stopped putting stuff in just to give products a certain colour. We need safe cosmetics, not pretty gimmicks.

Red 33 is in a Soft & Dri deodorant only formulation, and my daughter lost the skin in her underarm area. UGGGGGH! I told her to stop using the product and switched to one that had virtually the same ingredients but no Red 33. Her armpits cleared up. She tried the pretty pink deodorant again, the next day her armpits were irritated and becoming raw. Yes, it’s a thing!

In reply to Cindy Pytlinski. I have the same issues with Red 33. My skin gets irritated, swollen and very painful. I cannot use any lipstick, lip liner, gloss, shampoo, conditioner, etc because it will burn my skin. Every product I buy cannot have Red 33. It's amazing how many things have this dye.

In reply to Lisa Bentley. Lisa, how horrific! So sorry you went through that.

In reply to Gio. Red 33 is derived from carmine/cochineal - I had an anaphylactic reaction to the dye. I can not use any products with any of these dyes in them.
