Characteristics of Cosmetic-Grade Yellow Iron Oxide

Our cosmetic-grade yellow iron oxide offers a unique combination of properties that set it apart:

High Purity and Safety: With purity levels exceeding 95%, it complies with international cosmetic standards and is non-toxic, non-irritating, and ideal for use on sensitive skin.
Fine Particle Size and Uniform Dispersion: It features ultra-fine, uniformly distributed particles that enhance dispersibility in both oil- and water-based systems. This ensures smooth application, consistent color, and excellent skin adhesion.
Color Stability and Resistance: It exhibits excellent lightfastness, thermal stability, and resistance to acids and alkalis. It maintains color integrity even under extended exposure to UV light or high temperatures.
Improved Performance in Emulsion Systems: Especially in BB creams and liquid foundations, this pigment helps solve common issues like color floating or uneven tone distribution, contributing to a more natural, long-lasting finish.
Skin-Affinity and Non-Comedogenic: Its gentle, inert nature makes it suitable for daily-use cosmetics, enhancing wearability without clogging pores or irritating the skin.

Applications Across Cosmetic Categories

The versatility of cosmetic-grade yellow iron oxide allows for its widespread use across numerous cosmetic products:

Face Cosmetics: It's a foundational pigment for foundations, BB creams, CC creams, concealers, pressed powders, and loose powders, providing natural skin tones and seamless coverage.
Eye Cosmetics: Essential for creating a broad spectrum of shades in eyeshadows, eyeliners, mascaras, eyebrow pencils, and brow powders, adding depth and definition to the eyes.
Lip Cosmetics: It contributes to the natural yellow undertones in lipsticks, lip glosses, and lip balms, either used alone or blended with other pigments to achieve custom shades.
Other Cosmetic Colorants: It functions as a fundamental colorant for developing a wide variety of colored cosmetic formulations, enabling formulators to achieve precise color matching and vibrant hues.
