Using EasyMix™ Pigments for Skin Tones

Yes, Beige Iron Oxides EasyMix™ can be used to create flesh tones in various powder and cream formulations, such as loose powder, foundation powder, or BB/CC creams. These pigments are treated for easy dispersion, making them simple to mix into your base formulation.

To adjust the shade of the flesh tone (make it lighter, darker, or change the undertone), you can certainly add other EasyMix™ pigments:

• White Oxides EasyMix™ (Titanium Dioxide) can be added to lighten the shade.
• Black Iron Oxides EasyMix™ can be added to darken the shade.
• Yellow Iron Oxides EasyMix™ and Red Iron Oxides EasyMix™ are commonly used to adjust the undertone (more yellow or more pink/red) to match different skin tones.

By carefully adding small amounts of these pigments and mixing thoroughly, you can achieve the desired skin tone color for your product.

As discussed in the forum thread, these pigments can be mixed directly into powder bases or cream bases. When creating BB/CC creams, they are often used in conjunction with powders like Mica Powder or BB Micro Silk™ to achieve desired coverage and texture. While BB Micro Silk™ primarily offers a smooth texture and soft-focus effect rather than significant coverage, it can be part of a blend with pigments and other powders like Mica to create a natural-looking BB cream.
