What is it?

Iron oxides (CI 77491, 77492, 77499) are naturally occurring mineral pigments frequently used for coloring in skincare and cosmetic products. These compounds are available in three main colors: red (CI 77491), yellow (CI 77492), and black (CI 77499). Combining these colors allows for the creation of a wide range of shades. Iron oxides are characterized by their stability, non-toxicity, and low reactivity, making them ideal for makeup products such as foundations, blush, and eyeshadow.

Where does it come from?

Iron oxides are extracted from natural minerals in the Earth's crust. However, for use in cosmetics and skincare products, they are purified to ensure consistent quality and safety, remove any impurities, and obtain standardized, skin-friendly shades. This process also ensures that the iron oxides used in cosmetics are free of heavy metals and therefore suitable for sensitive skin.
