  • Applications

    Zeaxanthin dipalmitate is a lipophilic carotenoid pigment that may be used as a colorant in cosmetics and personal care formulations, imparting yellow-orange hues in lip products, creams, and color cosmetics. It may also be used as a colorant in foods and beverages where permitted, particularly in oil-based systems, and can serve as a pigment additive in animal feeds to influence the coloration of animal products such as poultry eggs or aquaculture products. In coatings and inks, the ester provides a fat-soluble pigment for packaging and decorative finishes. In polymers and plastics, it may be incorporated as a colorant in resin matrices to impart yellow coloration. Applications vary by region and regulation, and formulation limits should be observed.
