Caramel Color

Caramel Color Class I (plain caramel) is produced by controlled heat treatment of food-grade carbohydrates without ammonia or sulfite compounds, resulting in a clean-label colorant with a characteristic brown hue. This ammonia-free variant is the simplest and most natural form of caramel color, created solely through caramelization, making it ideal for natural and organic cosmetic formulations. Formulators choose Class I caramel specifically for its clean ingredient declaration, excellent stability in cream bases, and ability to impart warm, natural-looking beige to cream tones without synthetic dyes.
