Nautica Black Iron Oxide is a cosmetic-grade black mineral colourant used to add deep, earthy tones to a wide range of DIY and formulated products. Unlike brighter pigments or dyes, iron oxides create more muted, natural-looking shades, which makes them especially useful in products where a grounded colour palette is preferred. This black oxide can be used on its own or blended with other iron oxides to create custom tones, and titanium dioxide can be used to lighten the final shade. It is an insoluble powdered colourant intended for cosmetic formulation use.

♡ Why we love it: Black iron oxide is one of those dependable colour tools that gives formulators a lot of control. It is especially handy when you want to deepen, mute, or balance other shades without tipping into an artificial-looking finish.

Also available in Sample Sizes.
