Concern level
High concern

An inorganic ferrocyanide salt used primarily as a colorant or anti-caking/processing aid in industrial and some cosmetic-adjacent applications. PubChem lists sodium ferrocyanide as C6FeN6Na4, and related sodium ferrocyanide salts are recognized as low-volatility inorganic salts.

Interactions

incompatible with: strong acids, acidic formulations, oxidizing conditions

Risks & Warnings

Low dermal irritation is expected at cosmetic trace levels, but exposure to strong acids can theoretically release hydrogen cyanide from ferrocyanide complexes; therefore it should not be formulated in strongly acidic systems. Avoid ingestion and handle according to supplier SDS guidance. ([pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov](https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/71587160?utm_source=openai))
