Carmine

Colorant: Carmine is an intense red pigment commonly used in food and beverages such as candies, drinks, jellies, ice cream, etc. to provide a vibrant red hue. In cosmetics, Carmine is also commonly used in lipstick, blush and other products to add red color to them.
Safety: Carmine is approved for use in food and cosmetics in some countries, but some studies have shown that long-term intake of large amounts of Carmine may have certain health effects. Therefore, relevant safety standards and limit requirements should be followed when using it.
Substitutes: Because some consumers are skeptical about Carmine's origin (it's extracted from bugs) or its potential health effects, some food and cosmetic companies have begun looking for alternatives to Carmine. Some plant extracts or synthetic colors are used to replace Carmine to meet consumer demand.

Overall, Carmine is a common red synthetic pigment used to color food, cosmetics, and other products
