EU-permitted inorganic colorant with satisfactory safety profile based on its inorganic, insoluble nature. US regulatory status requires clarification as this compound is distinct from FDA-listed Manganese Violet (CI 77742). Low inherent safety concern; primary issue is US regulatory verification before marketing. The EU classifies CI 77745 (Manganese Phosphate) as "permitted". Safety rating: GOOD.

CI 77745 (Manganese Phosphate) EU regulatory status: permitted. This is based on EU Regulation 1223/2009 and its amendments.

CI 77745 (Manganese Phosphate) functions as: Colorant. Inorganic pigment based on manganese phosphate (Mn3(PO4)2). Produces pinkish-beige to light brown tones depending on oxidation state and processing. Used in cosmetic products such as eye shadows, blushes, and face powders as a subtle natural-looking colorant. Chemically stable, resistant to light and heat, and inert in cosmetic formulations.
