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!

Customer Reviews
Black Iron Oxide is a bit harder to mix into oil than activated charcoal, but I haven't had any fragrances ooze out of the soap during curing like occasionally happens when I use activated charcoal. It's nice to have this black in my arsenal!
Unlike many people on here I don't make soap. I make oil pastels and one of the colors I make is black. I have had trouble in the past getting black to look black once down on the paper. I have tried many different things and then I decided to give Mad Mica's black oxide a try. I am so happy I did. Not only is my black, black, but the price was so good I bought the large instead of just smaller jars. Thank you Mad Mica for all you do. Your customer service is fantastic and the best thing is you can order small samples before investing a ton of money into a color you don't really like. Unfortunatly the more samples I order the more products I want in full. Your company is great.
True Black! Best black mica I have found.
Love this color! Perfect black!
This is such an excellent black. I am able to get full incorporation and it comes out beautifully! Highly recommend to anyone.
