Description:

IRON OXIDES: Iron oxides are chemical compounds composed of iron and oxygen. They are used as colorants for many cosmetics and skin care products.

When used in cosmetics, Iron Oxides are considered ideal because they are non-toxic, non-bleeding and moisture resistant. This makes them a great additive to cosmetic products such as eye shadows, blushes and lipsticks. Iron oxides graded safe for cosmetic use are produced synthetically in order to avoid the inclusion of ferrous or ferric oxides, and impurities normally found in naturally occurring iron oxides.

Cosmetic Function(s):

• Colorant
