Please note this is a raw pigment intended to be dispersed into a liquid medium to make paints. Our raw pigments are not meant for use in cosmetics and are not cosmetic grade. Certain pigments disperse more easily than others in certain liquid mediums. For those difficult to disperse into a liquid of your choice, they will need to be ground by a muller or a mortar and pestle into the medium.
Safety note: Handle all dry pigments with care. Work slowly to avoid generating airborne dust and wear a dust mask for extra protection. Also avoid getting the dust all over your hands. Latex gloves are good at providing skin protection without "getting in the way".

We have 3 grades of black iron oxide: natural (magnetite) granular coarse, natural (magnetite) fine, and synthetic fine. If you're using a black iron oxide as a pigment, you'll want to know the 3 grades do vary from a speckled dark gray (the speckles are bright and reflective, probably small flakes of mica), a dark gray, and a warm black. That's in the same order as they're listed at the beginning of this paragraph.
This is a natural black iron oxide which comes from the mineral magnetite. This is a coarse grade which is what "granular" refers to, by comparing it with other coarse materials it's about a 50 mesh, but it does include "fines" which might go all the way down to 400 mesh.
It has tiny speckles of what are probably shiny, reflective mica flakes in it. It was purchased from a ceramics supplier for use in glazes or clay bodies. It would not normally be used as a paint pigment but if you tried you might get some interesting textural effects. I purchased it originally for use with resins. It's a slightly grayer black than the synthetic or even the fine natural black iron oxides because of the increased natural impurities in a coarser ground mineral. One other thing of note is the difference in density of the natural and synthetic black iron oxides. The natural is much heavier than the synthetic. Per unit weight the natural is about half the volume of the synthetic oxide.
Used for many things besides a pigment and filler. There are 3 main types, and 3 main colors (although it is found in many shades of these), black, red, and yellow.
The Wiki article on black iron oxide as a pigment is here (it's not too good):

The Wiki article on black iron oxide (the good one) is here (Iron (II,III) oxide = black iron oxide, Fe3O4):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron(II,III)_oxide
"Iron(II,III) oxide is the chemical compound with formula Fe3O4. It occurs in nature as the mineral magnetite. It is one of a number of iron oxides, the others being iron(II) oxide (FeO), which is rare, and iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3) also known as hematite. It contains both Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions and is sometimes formulated as FeO ∙ Fe2O3. This iron oxide is encountered in the laboratory as a black powder. It exhibits permanent magnetism and is ferrimagnetic, but is sometimes incorrectly described as ferromagnetic. Its most extensive use is as a black pigment which is synthesised rather than being extracted from the naturally occurring mineral as the particle size and shape can be varied by the method of production"-
