The Green Side of SunPURO® Iron Oxides- Upcycled Raw Materials

Made in the USA — Valparaiso, Indiana.

As beauty continues to dive deep into sustainability and transparency, the SunPURO® iron oxides offer a uniquely green story. The production of high purity cosmetic grade iron oxides upcycles two raw materials, removing and/or drastically reducing the potential of both liquid and landfill waste.

The SunPURO® iron oxides represent the highest purity, quality, and safety for cosmetic applications.
