Titanium Dioxide Powder

Description

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a naturally occurring mineral compound that is mined from the earth and processed and purified for use in consumer products. Also known as titanium (IV) oxide or titania, it is comprised of the metal titanium and oxygen. TiO2 is used in many consumer products, from paint and food to drugs and cosmetics. It also plays a critical role in sunscreen products to protect skin from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

TiO2 is a white powder, approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 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.

TiO2 is also used as the active ingredient in sunscreen products to protect the skin from the harmful effects of the sun’s UV rays. Exposing unprotected skin to UV light can result in sunburn (primarily from UVB rays) and promote premature aging of the skin, as well as skin cancer (primarily from UVA rays).

TiO2 is also approved as an active sunscreen ingredient in Canada, Australia, the European Union and Japan.
