Carmine is a natural red dye obtained from cochineal insects, specifically the females of the Dactylopius coccus species. These insects are harvested, dried, and then crushed to extract carminic acid, which is processed to produce carmine dye. This dye is widely used in cosmetics, food, and textiles for its vibrant red color. Additionally, carmine is valued for being a stable and non-toxic coloring agent.
