Titanium Dioxide – Cosmetic Pigment & UV Shield

Titanium Dioxide is a white mineral pigment widely used in cosmetics as a UV filter, brightener, and opacifying agent. It works by scattering and absorbing UV rays, offering protection against sun damage.

It is especially valuable in whitening creams, mineral foundations, and SPF formulations. Due to its inert and stable nature, it performs well across pH ranges and is suitable for both oil and water-based systems.
