なる。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial application] Conventionally, aqueous inks or oil-based inks have been used by finely dispersing a colored metal compound, a tar dye or the like in water or oil. Particularly, blue and black, which are frequently used, use a cyanide compound of iron. However, there is a problem in the ecosystem, and there is a need for improvement in the future. The iron compound of the tannins of the present invention is extremely easily biodegradable, does not cause any problems in ecosystems, and has light resistance equal to that of conventional inks, and excellent quality can be obtained. In addition, iron compounds of tannins formed in powders or fibers are extremely strongly bonded and adsorbed to various powders or fibers, and have excellent light resistance, good color tone and colored powders which are safe for cosmetics. Can be used widely. Moreover, the use for textile products enables safe and excellent dyeing.

In addition, both tar-based blue pigments and black carbon black, which are widely used in cosmetics, have problems in terms of human body safety and color utilization. We researched to solve these problems and found that iron tannins (polyphenols) compounds satisfying all factors of bioavailability, ecosystem safety, photostability, coloring and toning. The present invention has begun.
