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.
β‘ Why we love it: It is a versatile mineral pigment that gives makers reliable whitening and opacity across soaps and cosmetic formulations, while its documented non-nanomaterial classification provides useful clarity for formulators selecting titanium dioxide for their projects.

FAQs
Q: Why does titanium dioxide sometimes create white streaks in soap?
A: Streaking usually comes from uneven dispersion. Pre-mixing thoroughly helps create a more even colour.
Q: What does non-nano mean for this titanium dioxide?
A: It is classified as a non-nanomaterial under the referenced EU definition. Its specification limits calculated nano-sized particles to less than 10% by number, rather than meaning that absolutely no nano-sized particles are present.
Q: Can I use it to lighten coloured products?
A: Yes, it is often used to pastelise or lighten coloured formulations when blended evenly.

Consistent and reliable service and delivery
Wonderful product π makes my milk bath product so much more milkier!
Works great - I use it in my White Gesso Mixture for Artists Canvasses
I bought this with zinc oxide to mix with a base cream to use as a sunblock. The 2 together cost under R70. Knowing that there are no harmful chemicals in a super cheap and effective sunblock which I can use on my face, even my eyelids, is awesome! And not oily at all, unlike most sunblocks I have tried. I gave some of this mixture to my friends, who are also impressed with it. Thank you so much! I have enough sunblock now for at least the next 3 years.
Brilliant service love my products thank you
Titanium Dioxide is such an awesome whitener for Cold Process soap, especially because it is harmless. Add a 1:3 ratio of titanium dioxide to water. When making 1 kg of soap mix 1 tbsp of titanium dioxide to 3 tbsp of water, add to your oil & lye mixture and stir or stick blend until desired white colour! It does whiten a lot overnight as well!
This product is the best thing since slice cheese. Love it, love it
