Black Iron Oxide Pigment

Black iron oxide is a fine 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. Fun fact: it's magnetic!
