Overview
Caramel is a natural ingredient that is derived from the heat treatment of the sugar known as sucrose, which is commonly called table sugar. It is useful in skincare products as a natural colorant.
Due to its solubility in water, caramel can create transparent, dark brown solutions in water. This has applications in many cosmetics, including lotions, creams, and even some color cosmetics where natural ingredients are desired.
In addition to functioning as a natural colorant, caramel also works as a fragrance, where it provides a sweet, sugary scent.
