Brown iron oxide is a deep, rich brown 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.

"Gorgeous brick red🤩 This is my first time using any colorant other than clays or plant powders in cp soap and I AM HOOKED! Very easy to use, love love love the final colour."
—Arlene (verified)

A little goes a long way.  Please start with small amounts and slowly increase to avoid over pigmentation.

A fantastic deep red!

I used this to make a masculine "rough" soap for my nephew. The colors came out amazing! Used the red iron oxide, yellow iron oxide along with black iron oxide to make this soap. It came out exactly like my nephew wanted. Rugged, earthy and man sized.

Love the color!

So glad I found this site! Used the color to make my peppermint cold process soap. I’m a beginner but can’t wait to try other colors.

Little goes a long way

I use the Red Iron Oxide mixed with several other colors (Pink, Orange, Merlot or Yellow) to give me a perfect red color every time. I use this mixture in CP soap bars and have been delighted with the outcome every time.
