Lakes Applications (Uses & Benefits)

Cleaning
Lake pigments are used in cleaners, detergents, and soaps to add vibrant color tones, which helps enhance product appeal and brand recognition.
Cosmetic
Lakes are commonly used to provide long-lasting color in lipsticks. Due to being oil dispersible, they blend well in products that are not water-based.
Nutritional Supplement
Lake pigments provide vivid color for tablet and capsule coatings. This helps to distinguish various supplements from one another in terms of both brand and function.
Personal Care
Lake pigments are added to body washes, conditioners, and shampoos to provide those products with distinctive coloring, both for branding and visual appeal.
Pharmaceutical
Lakes provide color to pill and tablet coatings, which makes them easier to distinguish between different varieties and branding.
