Iron Oxides, the Mineral Pigments in Complexion Makeup

The Science of Mineral Pigmentation

Iron oxides are compounds of iron and oxygen. The cosmetic grade is made rather than mined, under set limits for arsenic, lead and mercury. These minerals come in a range of earth tones from yellow to red to brown to black, making them ideal for creating the full spectrum of skin tone shades. Where a dye dissolves and can migrate, a pigment sits on the surface as discrete particles, and iron oxides are inert. The particles are finely milled and blended in different proportions, which is how a range of shades is built from a small pigment set. This allows formulators to create foundations and concealers that look natural, blend seamlessly, and provide true to skin coverage. Iron oxides also have excellent opacity, meaning they provide coverage without requiring heavy application. This creates makeup that feels lightweight while delivering full coverage performance. The minerals are photostable, meaning they do not change color when exposed to light, ensuring your makeup looks the same all day. This stability makes iron oxides the gold standard for color cosmetics where true, lasting color is essential.

We incorporate iron oxides into foundations, concealers, and bronzers designed to deliver flawless coverage, natural color, and the kind of true to skin performance that modern makeup demands.

This silk blend foundation combines mineral pigments to create a shade that flatters light to medium skin tones. The full coverage formula blends seamlessly, providing flawless coverage that looks natural and feels weightless. The iron oxide pigments are photostable, so light does not shift their color, which helps the shade hold its tone through the day. Apply with a brush or sponge, blending outward from the center of your face. Your complexion will look smooth, even, and perfectly matched.
