CI 77499 is a black iron oxide containing iron and oxygen and is used in cosmetics as a coloring agent. It is naturally available from the mineral magnetite; however, for use in cosmetics, it is synthetically made to filter out any impurities. In general, iron oxides are long-lasting; once they are applied, they usually don’t need to be reapplied.
