FunctionTone-up Pigment

What it is — Yellow Iron Oxide (INCI: Iron Oxides, CI 77492), an inorganic mineral pigment produced in a purified, cosmetic-grade form.

What it does — It is commonly used to add color and help adjust or warm the tone of a product, contributing to natural-looking coverage in tinted and tone-up formulas.

Typical use — Appears in foundations, tinted moisturizers, sunscreens and color cosmetics, usually blended with other iron oxides to fine-tune shade.

Who it suits / good to know — Suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin, as a stable mineral colorant; it does not act on the skin biologically.

Safety — Rated low risk and widely used in makeup. This is general information, not medical advice; finished products can be patch-tested if your skin reacts easily.
