Brown Iron Oxide

Ingredient: Iron oxide

Iron oxides are matte pigments that come in yellow, red, black, brown, and maroon.  Iron oxides are considered nature identical meaning that they are the exact same chemical structure as platelet minerals found in the earth.  Creating them in a lab ensures purity. They are highly pigmented, and only tiny amounts are needed to make big changes in makeup recipes.  The options are infinite when using a mix of any or all of the Iron oxides.  An array of colors can be produced for liquid foundations, face powders, and blushes.
