Titanium dioxide 30 g

Titanium dioxide is a physical filter. In cosmetics, the component is used as a colorant for hygiene and decorative products. The particle size is only 15 nanometers. The dosage is selected individually, depending on the product to which it is added. For example, for soap, the colorant is added 1-30%, in mineral cosmetics - 2-10%, decorative - 1-4%.

What is Titanium Dioxide and what are the differences between its types read in the article “Titanium Dioxide in cosmetics”. The ideal replacement for conventional and micronized titanium dioxide is the Effective U-T version, which is titanium dioxide coated with silica for better distribution on the skin. The particle size distribution of Effective U-T is not in the nanometer range (1-100 nm), is completely safe to use and provides a high level of UV protection. The component is Ecocert certified.

Use in cosmetics

Dioxide has the ability to reflect ultraviolet rays, so it belongs to UV filters of inorganic origin. The product does not cause allergic reactions does not harm the skin. The only thing is that it can make it white, so to level out the effect, the dioxide particles are tried to be made smaller. That's why you can also find micronized titanium dioxide in the Bjur store. UV protection levels are shown below:

• Low - up to 4%.
• Medium, 8%.
• High - 12%.
• Very high - 20%.

Speaking of micronized dioxide, the levels of protection will be as follows:

• Low - 2%.
• Medium - 4%.
• High - 6%.
• Very high - 10%.
•  

The main cosmetic properties of titanium dioxide include:

• A pronounced whitening effect that can lighten pigments on the skin.
• Matte color.
• High level of protection against ultraviolet rays.
• Dilutes pigmentation for an even tone in cosmetics.
• Possesses reflectivity and shine.
• Does not absorb into the skin.
• It has an antibacterial effect.

In practice, titanium dioxide is used to provide skin care, as well as an essential component in cosmetics. The main advantage is sun protection.

Areas of application

Titanium dioxide is popular as a basic filler, white pigment, an additive in decorative cosmetics, creams and gels. On the basis of the product is obtained peralamutric pigments, more perfect in consistency and color. The component, previously dispersed in glycerin or water, is also used as a bleaching agent in the process of making hand soap.

Women with sensitive skin are recommended to purchase creams that contain titanium dioxide. The substance reflects ultraviolet rays, preventing the development of allergies and irritation on the skin.

Titanium dioxide should be stored in a cool room where there is no moisture. It is important to make sure that water does not get inside the package.
