Naturally occuring mineral that actually deflects the sun's burning rays off the skin, offering significant protecton from damaging UVA/UVB rays. Often combined with Padimate O, it is a superb ingredient for sunblocks.

In powder form as a pigment for providing whiteness and opacity to such products such as paints and coatings (including glazes and enamels), plastics, paper, inks, fibres and food and cosmetics.

Titanium dioxide is by far the most widely used white pigment. Titania is very white and has a very high refractive index – surpassed only by diamond. The refractive index determines the opacity that the material confers to the matrix in which the pigment is housed. Hence, with its high refractive index, relatively low levels of titania pigment are required to achieve a white opaque coating.

The high refractive index and bright white colour of titanium dioxide make it an effective opacifier for pigments. The material is used as an opacifier in glass and porcelain enamels, cosmetics, sunscreens, paper, and paints. One of the major advantages of the material for exposed applications is its resistance to discoloration under UV light.

Our Titanium Dioxide is one of the first in the industry to utilize one formula to be both water and oil dispersible. This product is food and cosmetic grade and complies with all Food and Drug Administration requirements. Safe for use on lips, eyes, face, nails.
