Titanium Dioxide Ci77891 ●
TL;DR. This ingredient is an opaque white pigment, opacifier, and mineral UV filter, depending on particle size and coating. It adds coverage, brightness, and sunscreen scattering in creams, makeup, and sun care.
What does Titanium Dioxide Ci77891 do in a cosmetic formula?
This ingredient is an opaque white pigment, opacifier, and mineral UV filter, depending on particle size and coating. It adds coverage, brightness, and sunscreen scattering in creams, makeup, and sun care.
Is Titanium Dioxide Ci77891 clean?
Clean-beauty frameworks generally allow it in topical creams and pressed products, but often flag inhalable powders and sprays because fine particles can be breathed in. Nano-sized forms also bring extra labeling and disclosure expectations in many standards.
Is Titanium Dioxide Ci77891 sustainable?
This material is mineral-derived and obtained through mining, followed by energy-intensive refining. It is inorganic and not biodegradable in the usual carbon-based sense, but it is stable and not expected to bioaccumulate like many persistent organic compounds.
Is Titanium Dioxide Ci77891 COSMOS-approved?
It is permitted under COSMOS for natural and organic products as a mineral-derived colorant or UV filter when it meets purity, coating, and nano-material disclosure rules. Its Green Chemistry profile is mixed, with good stability and low skin reactivity, but nonrenewable sourcing and refining impacts.
How does Titanium Dioxide Ci77891 work chemically?
The molecule is an insoluble inorganic particulate used in rutile or anatase crystal forms, often surface-treated to improve dispersion and reduce photocatalytic reactivity. Typical use ranges from trace-to-several-percent levels for opacity and color, and up to about 25% where regulated as a mineral sunscreen active.
