Brick Red Colorant

Brick Red Colorant is a Red Iron Oxide pigment that creates a muted red shade with a smooth matte finish for cosmetic, soap, and body-care formulations. Its subdued brick-red tone is suited to formulations where you want a grounded, earthy red rather than a bright or highly saturated color.

This pigment is designed for use in oil-based and anhydrous formulas and can disperse into oils, waxes, and emulsions. It can be used to create custom lip gloss, lipstick, blush, pressed powders, lotion bars, soap embeds, mineral makeup, eyeshadows, and other suitable external-use cosmetic formulations. Brick Red Colorant is currently available in 5 ml, 2 oz, and 10 oz sizes.

What Color Is Brick Red Colorant?

Brick Red Colorant produces a muted red shade with a matte finish. Its color sits in a more subdued range than a bright primary red, making it useful for cosmetic formulations that call for an earthy, understated red appearance.

Because the pigment is based on Red Iron Oxide, it can be used to build custom color blends alongside other compatible cosmetic pigments. The final appearance can vary depending on the concentration, formulation base, and other pigments used in the finished product.

For a more specific color direction, Brick Red can be incorporated into custom blends rather than being limited to a single finished shade.

How to Use Brick Red Colorant

• Start with a small test batch: Begin with a small amount of pigment and adjust gradually until the desired brick-red intensity is reached.
• Build the shade gradually: Add pigment incrementally when creating custom blends so you can control how muted, deep, or warm the final red appears.
• Disperse into the formulation: Work the pigment into compatible oils, waxes, or emulsions to achieve even color distribution.
• Blend with compatible pigments: Combine Brick Red with other suitable colorants when developing custom shades rather than relying on one pigment alone.
• Check the final formula: Test the completed formulation because the finished shade can change depending on the base and other ingredients.
• Follow usage guidelines: Always check the appropriate usage rate for your specific formulation type before production.
• Keep it for external use: This product is intended for external-use formulations and is not for ingestion.
