Red Iron Oxide Pigment
Brown iron oxide is a deep, rich brown powdered pigment. Iron oxides are graded safe for cosmetic use and are produced synthetically in order to avoid the inclusion of impurities normally found in naturally occurring iron oxides including ferrous or ferric oxides, arsenic, lead and other poisonous substances.
A little goes a long way. Please start with small amounts and slowly increase to avoid over pigmentation.
- Ultramarines and oxides are recommended for use in oil-based applications.
- Notes for soap use: when mixing with MP soap, blend in a few drops of glycerin or oil to make a smooth paste to avoid clumps in your soap. White MP base will always create a pastel form of the color due to titanium dioxide in base.
- Non-Bleeding, Non-Migrating. Stable in high pH
