No mention of cosmetic use or controlled environment production of iron oxides, so I added it. I also added a link to the U.S. Geological Survey. I'm new to this. Hope you don't mind my inclusions. LorraineP 16:30, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I added a link to my site, L.A. Minerals, because the information about cosmetic grade iron oxides was pulled from there. No I didn't link for SEO purposes. We are already on page 2 on Google for search term 'mineral makeup'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LorraineP (talk • contribs) 01:05, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Two formulæ appear next to some species in the list. At present this is confusing, and not explained. — DIV (128.250.80.15 (talk) 09:38, 26 March 2008 (UTC))[reply]

Hi, I found out from the technical sales guy at Dessicare that the oxygen busters that they use in food products have iron in them which oxidises over time and then becomes Iron Oxide II and Iron Oxide III - I would like to know if this can be added to soil in my garden (and everyone's gardens) and if it is fine to do so. The main purpose is to promote some reuse of the oxygen busters (but cutting them open to get the iron out) as the are so prolific now and I hate that they cannot be recycled at all. Any help appreciated. Plmoknqwerty (talk) 09:56, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Something could be said in this article about iron oxides causing the color of red soils such as ultisols. – ℜob C. alias ALAROB 14:58, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't we add a mention of the use of iron oxide for batteries? See Metal–air electrochemical cell#Iron. 173.88.246.138 (talk) 20:53, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
