| Iron Oxide |
Iron oxides are naturally occurring mineral compounds composed of iron and oxygen and are used primarily as pigments to provide colour in products such as Propairas tinted Sunscreen. Iron oxide pigments can range in colours from yellow, red, and brown to black, depending on the type of iron oxide used (commonly ferric oxide or ferrous oxide). Iron oxides are incredibly stable, non-toxic, and safe for use on the skin. This ingredient has certain benefits for the skin, including offering protection from visible light, providing a matte finish for oily skin, and being non-irritating for sensitive skin types. Because iron oxides are naturally derived and non-toxic, they are hypoallergenic, meaning they are unlikely to cause allergic reactions. This makes them suitable for use on all skin types.
