Essentially Natural Titanium Dioxide is a pigment-grade, non-nano mineral powder used to brighten and add opacity to soaps and DIY cosmetics. It has a high refractive index, which means it scatters light effectively and creates a whiter, more opaque finish in formulations. It is also commonly used in sunscreen-style formulations as part of mineral UV filter systems when formulated correctly. This is a fine white powder intended for external cosmetic use.
