Pigments & Minerals
What this group includes
Pigments and minerals are the ingredients that give cosmetic products their color, tone, and finish.
This group may include ingredients such as iron oxides, titanium dioxide, mica, and other mineral-based colorants commonly used in cosmetics.
Why we use them
Pigments and minerals allow us to create inclusive shade ranges and balanced color while maintaining comfort and performance—especially for sensitive or treatment-affected skin.
Why they’re considered safe
- Extensively studied and widely used in cosmetics
- Approved for cosmetic use by global regulatory authorities
- Selected for stability and skin compatibility
Good to know
Some color ingredients vary by shade, which is why you may see them listed as “may contain.” This allows for accurate labeling across multiple shades without unnecessary repetition.
The Lotus Standard
All pigments and minerals are evaluated for safety, stability, and tolerance as part of the complete formula—not in isolation.
