Titanium Dioxide Powder

Description

Titanium dioxide (TiO₂) is the naturally occurring oxide of titanium.

Titanium dioxide is a white inorganic compound, which has been used for around 100 years in a vast number of diverse products. It is depended on for its non-toxic, non-reactive and luminous properties, which safely heighten the whiteness and brightness of many materials.

TiO2 is a white powder, approved  as a colorant in  cosmetics and personal care products applied to the skin, nails and lips. It helps to increase the opaqueness and reduce the transparency of product formulas. TiO2 also absorbs, reflects or scatters light (including UV radiation from the sun), and protects sunscreens products from the effects of light, which can cause products to deteriorate.

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is used in a variety of personal care products, including sunscreens, pressed powders, and loose powders, as a UV filter or whitening agent. In lotions and creams (dermal exposure), it is not a risk for adverse health effects.
