TITANIUM DIOXIDE MICRONIZED USP POWDER

Appearance

Fine white powder

Description

Titanium dioxide in solution or suspension can be used to cleave protein that contains the amino acid proline at the site where proline is present.

Function

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.
