一種紅色的天然有機染料，由一種原生於墨西哥、加那利群島以及中、南美洲的胭脂蟲之雌性介殼蟲體所製成。胭脂紅染料曾被中美洲與北美洲的阿茲特克人與馬雅人所使用，在1518年被西班牙人所採用。胭脂紅早在1540年便傳入歐洲，並且迅速取代胭脂紅（kermes）而成為主要的紅色染料，直到大約1870年才被苯胺染料所取代。要萃取這種染料，首先要將成熟的雌蟲從仙人掌上刷取下來並加以乾燥，再利用水或酒精萃取出蟲體的色素。胭脂紅的成分包含大約10％的胭脂蟲酸、2％的胭脂蟲蠟，以及10％的脂肪：胭脂紅染料的深紅色來自胭脂紅酸。胭脂紅可製作透明的色澱顏料，此色澱顏料的耐光性差、在強光中會褪色。胭脂紅亦可用於醫療上作為鎮痙劑。

英文....	A red natural transparent lake colorant that has poor lightfastness and fades in strong sunlight. It is prepared from the bodies of the female scale insect, Dactylopius coccus, native to Mexico, the Canary Islands, and Central and South America. Cochineal dye was used by the Aztec and Maya peoples of Central and North America, adopted by Europeans. The pigments are extracted from the dried bodies of insects using water or alcohol. The substance contains about 10% carminic acid, 2% coccerin wax, and 10% fat: the crimson color of cochineal dye is attributed to cochinealin or carminic acid. Cochineal is also used in medicine as an antispasmodic.
