I add it to a neutral AZ base.

Green oxide can be incorporated into the following ready-made AZ neutral bases:

• Cleansing cream base at a maximum dosage of 1.0%

• Melt & Pour bases at a maximum dosage of 1.0%

• Makeup powder base at a maximum dosage of 30.0%

For more information on conditions of use, please refer to the technical data sheets for these bases, available online on our website.

I create my recipe from start to finish.

This oxide can be used dispersed in a powder mixture or suspended in creams, milks, soaps, balms, and sticks.

• Powder mixtures: Add the oxide to your powder mixture. Grinding with a mortar or coffee grinder is recommended to obtain uniform colors; the use of coated talc significantly reduces grinding time. 

• Emulsions: incorporate directly into the oil phase or using a paste (dispersing paste for colored emulsions)

• Oily and waxy mixtures (balms, oils, lipsticks): incorporation at the end of preparation

• Gels: incorporation at the end of preparation

Green oxide can be used to create the following shades:

• A gradient of greens

• Green-blue and khaki tones when mixed with blue oxide

• Yellow and yellow-green tones mixed with yellow oxide
