Chromium Oxide Technical Specifications

Applications:
Colors used in the Cosmetic Industry can be grouped into two categories: FDA Certified Organics and Inorganic Pigments.
Inorganic pigments are controlled by the Food and Drug Administration. Prior to 1960, the only requirements for inorganic pigments were that they meet heavy metal concentrations as specified by the FDA. A listing of these color additives and requirements can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations 21, Part 73. All of our products are tested and certified to meet these standards. Inorganic pigments are primarily used in pigmented face powders, foundations, blushers, nail lacquers and cosmetics used in the area of the eye such as mascaras, eyeshadows, liners, etc.
Chromium Greens
Cosmetic greens consist of chromium oxides which have an olive-like color with strong yellow undertones and chromium hydroxide green that is stronger and considerably bluer, more aqua shade. The principle use is in the area of the eye and for bar soaps. They have a tendency to be very hard pigments and sometimes difficult to grind and disperse. Both colors have excellent strength and stability.
