Iron Oxide-Free Makeup

Iron oxides are in cosmetics for color but come with a few questions and concerns. Iron oxides are in natural and organic cosmetics formulas, too, as an alternative to dyes.

Carefully sourced iron oxides are refined to ascertain safety, marking them as one of the safest FDA-approved colorants. Heal Yes! conscientiously opts for lab-created iron oxides over natural sources to avoid the risk of impurities and heavy metals, which can lurk in nature. We specifically avoid micronized or nanoparticle sizes and, rather, choose larger particles for added safety and quality.

Our support of iron oxides in cosmetics is anchored in the superiority of non-nanoparticle, lab-tested iron oxides (to avoid heavy metals found in nature) for vibrant, safe, and consistent cosmetic colors, steering clear of ingredients like carmine, fruit dyes, synthetic dyes, and so forth. Heal Yes! provides sample sizes should you wish to test our pure cosmetics; still, the below are an array of options we offer without iron oxides (and, consequently, without color).
