🌱 What “Natural Rust / Iron Oxide Powder” Is

Iron oxide powder (often called rust when it’s Fe₂O₃) is a very fine reddish-brown mineral pigment derived from iron. It’s widely used as a colorant in:

• Pigments for paints, coatings & concrete
• Ceramics & glazes
• Art & craft pigments
• Cosmetics (when cosmetic-grade, safe for external use)
• Polishing agents for metals and jewelry (apsminerals.com)

Natural forms (not synthetic) come from ground mineral rust/hematite. They’re safe for non-food applications and are used as earthy pigments. (dartmoorsheepskins.co.uk)
