Ferric Oxide
Iron Oxides is a collective ingredient name covering three distinct pigments: red (CI 77491), yellow (CI 77492), and black (CI 77499) iron oxide. These inorganic pigments are widely used in cosmetic formulations, particularly in makeup products. By blending the three shades in varying ratios, formulators can produce a broad spectrum of natural-looking flesh tones.
