Pharmaceutical Colours

Pharmaceutical colors are in high demand for medicine production, including tablets, syrups, and ointments. Our tailor-made blends benefit both pharmaceutical companies and end-users. We help combat counterfeiting risks by providing high-purity colorants, ensuring genuine products for customers. Our pigments and colors are thoroughly researched, adhering to uncompromising quality standards. Our product range includes:

One World One Quality
Water-soluble colors (powdered & granular form)
Water-insoluble lakes, finely grounded for tablet coatings
USFDA (CFR Title 21) certified colors and lakes
High-purity Iron Oxide (red, yellow, and black) and Titanium Dioxide

Each color carries significant meaning, and at Vidhi Food Colors, we employ extensive research and color psychology to offer the best products to manufacturers. Our contributions promote healing, familiarity, and clarity for end-users while benefiting manufacturers commercially.
