Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891) is a naturally occurring mineral used extensively in skincare and cosmetic products as a white pigment, sunscreen agent, and opacifying ingredient. It is a highly effective UV filter, capable of providing broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays. Due to its non-reactive nature and high refractive index, Titanium Dioxide is a popular choice in formulations where sun protection, coverage, and opacity are needed.
Information
Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891) is a naturally occurring mineral used extensively in skincare and cosmetic products as a white pigment, sunscreen agent, and opacifying ingredient. It is a highly effective UV filter, capable of providing broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays. Due to its non-reactive nature and high refractive index, Titanium Dioxide is a popular choice in formulations where sun protection, coverage, and opacity are needed.
Where does it come from?
Titanium Dioxide is derived from minerals such as ilmenite, rutile, and anatase, which are mined from natural sources around the world, including Australia, China, and South Africa. After extraction, the mineral undergoes a purification and refinement process to ensure that it meets the safety and quality standards required for use in skincare and cosmetic products.
Broad-Spectrum UV Protection: Provides effective protection against both UVA and UVB rays, helping to prevent sunburn, skin aging, and skin cancer.
Gentle on Skin: Non-irritating and suitable for sensitive skin, making it a preferred sunscreen ingredient for those with allergies or skin sensitivities.
Opacifying Agent: Adds opacity to formulations, enhancing coverage in makeup products like foundations and concealers.
Stable and Non-Reactive: Remains stable when exposed to sunlight, heat, or other environmental factors, ensuring consistent performance in formulations.
Matte Finish: Helps to absorb excess oil and reduce shine, providing a matte finish in skincare and makeup products.
How is it used in our products?
Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891) is used in Serum Hydroxytyrosol Skin Tint from OLIVE ROSE. It is included for its ability to act as a physical UV filter that sits on the skin's surface and reflects harmful UV rays, providing broad-spectrum protection without penetrating the skin. In makeup products, it is used to provide coverage, opacity, and a matte finish, helping to even out skin tone and conceal imperfections. Titanium Dioxide is also valued for its safety profile and is ideal for sensitive skin.
