Environmentally Responsible Processes — The Use of Upcycled Raw Materials in SunPURO® Iron Oxides
Made in the USA — Valparaiso, Indiana.
As beauty continues to dive deep into sustainability and transparency, the SunPURO® iron oxides offer a unique 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.
Sourced from the midwestern region of the United States, ferrous chloride is a by-product of the steel production process. Upcycled scrap metal is sourced from local steel manufacturers in the mid-west region of the USA, reducing environmental impact for transportation.
