Ingredient Logic
The Ingredient Glossary
One entry per ingredient, written once and surfaced everywhere — on flip cards, on product ladders, and here. If an ingredient is in an ingredientlogic formula, it has a page.
Pigments
Iron Oxides (non-nano, uncoated)

Its job
It is the cool end of the color. In the Cream Foundation a trace of it neutralizes orange so tan and deep shades read true rather than brassy.
