Carbon black is produced through the incomplete combustion of organic materials and, due to its deep black color, is primarily used as a pigment in paints, inks, plastics, and decorative papers. It is also found in cosmetic products such as mascara and in grave soil, owing to its unique coloring properties. Additionally, carbon black provides a certain level of protection against UV radiation.
