Description
Titanium dioxide micronized refers to a finely milled form of titanium dioxide particles with reduced particle size. This micronization process enhances the dispersibility and efficacy of titanium dioxide in cosmetic and skincare formulations. Titanium dioxide micronized functions as a physical sunscreen agent, reflecting and scattering ultraviolet (UV) radiation away from the skin. It provides broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays.
Use
In cosmetics and skincare products, titanium dioxide micronized serves as a key ingredient in sunscreens, foundations, powders, and other products requiring SPF coverage. It helps prevent sunburn, photoaging, and skin damage caused by UV radiation. Titanium dioxide micronized is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, and is often preferred for its non-irritating and non-comedogenic properties.
Applications
Titanium dioxide micronized is incorporated into various cosmetic and skincare formulations to provide UV protection and enhance the sun protection factor (SPF) of products. It is applied topically to the skin before sun exposure and should be reapplied regularly, especially after swimming or sweating, to maintain effective sun protection. Additionally, titanium dioxide micronized is commonly used in mineral makeup formulations to provide natural-looking coverage with added sun protection.
