Titanium dioxide is an inert earth mineral used as a thickening, opacifying, and sunscreen ingredient in cosmetics. It protects skin from UVA and UVB radiation and is considered non-risky in terms of of skin sensitivity. Because it is gentle, titanium dioxide is a great sunscreen active for sensitive, redness-prone skin. It’s great for use around the eyes, as it is highly unlikely to cause stinging.

Key Applications

Sunscreens and cosmetics containing titanium dioxide are generally considered safe since they are mineral-based products. Mineral products are often recommended for acne-prone and sensitive skin. However, there have been some concerns that titanium dioxide may have a negative impact on health.
