INCI: Iron oxide - yellow CI77492

Nautica Yellow Iron Oxide is a cosmetic-grade mineral pigment used to add earthy yellow tones to a wide range of DIY and formulated products. Like other iron oxides, it creates muted, natural-looking colour rather than bright or neon shades, which makes it especially useful in products where a softer palette is preferred. It can be used on its own or blended with black, brown, and red iron oxides to create a wider range of natural skin and colour tones. This is an insoluble pigment for cosmetic formulation use.

♡ Why we love it: Yellow iron oxide is one of those foundational pigments that gives formulators a lot of flexibility. It is especially useful for soft yellows, warm neutrals, and custom blended earthy shades that look more natural than brighter synthetic colour systems.

This product is certified: Vegan.
