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.

Additional Notes

  • Sample bags contain approximately one teaspoon.
  • Ultramarines and oxides are recommended for use in oil-based applications.
  • Notes for soap use: when mixing with MP soap, blend in a few drops of glycerin or oil to make a smooth paste to avoid clumps in your soap. White MP base will always create a pastel form of the color due to titanium dioxide in base.

Love this red!

This red iron oxide is the perfect red. I’ve used several other reds that fade or come out dull, not this! Absolutely perfect for my men’s soap!

We're so glad you were happy with it! Your soap came out great!

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.

Love this red!

Used this red for the first time to make my Christmas peppermint CP soap. The color looks wonderful and is exactly the color that I wanted! Will definitely be using this again.
