CHROMIUM OXIDE GREENS

Chromium Oxide Greens (Cr2O3) is an inorganic mineral pigment produced by the high-temperature calcination of chromium compounds, yielding an exceptionally stable, opaque, matte olive-green colorant. It is one of the most lightfast and heat-stable pigments available to cosmetic formulators, making it a staple in eye shadows, pressed powders, and long-wear makeup where color permanence is critical. Formulators favor it for its excellent opacity, skin-safe regulatory status (approved for cosmetic use globally with restrictions on eye-area use in some markets), and its ability to blend with other mineral pigments to achieve a wide range of earthy and natural tones.
