Appearance
White to off-white powder
Function
It is a white pigment that disperses in liquids and possesses great opacifying power. The crystalline modifications of titanium dioxide are rutile and anatase, of which only anatase finds use as a color additive. It is a nonchemical SPF contributor. When applied, titanium dioxide remains on the skin's surface, scattering UV light. It is often used in conjunction with other sunscreen chemicals to boost the product's SPF value, thus reducing the risk of irritation or allergies attributed to excessive use of chemical sunscreens.
