INCI: Titanium dioxide

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.

A: Streaking usually comes from poor dispersion, pre-mixing helps create a more even colour.

Q: Is this suitable for sensitive skin?
A: It is widely used in cosmetics, but individual sensitivity varies, so patch testing is recommended.

Q: Can I use it to lighten coloured products?
A: Yes, it is often used to pastelise or lighten coloured formulations when blended evenly.
