About CI 77000: CI 77000 is classed chemically as an inorganic color. It consists of finely powdered aluminum.See "Regulatory and Ingredient Use Information," for Colorants in Volume 1, Introduction, Part A. ThisINCI Name may not be used for ingredient label ing in the US or Japan. To identify the colorant allowed foruse in the European Union (EU), the INCI Name CI 77000 must be used, except for hair dye products. Toidentify the colorant meeting the requirements for labeling purposes in the US, the INCI Name AluminumPowder must be used.
CI 77000 has reported used in the following product types: nail polish (21)
