Ci 77492
CI 77492, also known as Iron Oxide Yellow, is a common inorganic pigment used to impart yellow tones in cosmetic formulations. Chemically, it is hydrated iron III oxide and can range in shade from light lemon to orange-yellow depending on manufacturing conditions. It is frequently blended with red and black iron oxides to achieve flesh-toned shades in makeup products. It carries no carbon atoms in its molecular structure, classifying it as an inorganic compound.
CI 77492 provides yellow and orange-yellow pigmentation essential for color-matching in foundation and other flesh-toned makeup products. When combined with red and black iron oxides, it enables a wide range of skin-tone shades. Its primary role is cosmetic colorant rather than a skin-active benefit.
