Carmine is a deep, vivid red made from crushed insects. It's rich and saturated, with a slight blue undertone that makes it feel luxurious.
Made from cochineal insects native to South America. The Aztecs used it before Spanish conquistadors brought it to Europe, where it became highly prized.
Carmine is used in cosmetics, food coloring, and art supplies. It's perfect for luxury beauty brands and traditional art. The natural origin appeals to organic product lines.
