PRODUCT DETAILS
Cosmetic Grade Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂, CI 77891)
Cosmetic grade titanium dioxide is a high-purity inorganic functional raw material specially designed for cosmetics. It combines three core functions: physical sun protection, strong covering power, and stable whitening, making it one of the most commonly used inorganic ingredients in sun care, color cosmetics, and skincare formulations.
Basic Information
Chemical Name: Titanium Dioxide
INCI / Color Index: TITANIUM DIOXIDE, CI 77891
CAS No.: 13463-67-7
Crystal Type: Mainly rutile (stronger sun protection / covering power), small amount of anatase
Regulatory Status: Listed as No. 02210 in China’s *Inventory of Cosmetic Ingredients Already Used (2021 Edition)*; approved for cosmetic use by the EU and US CIR
Core Properties
1. Optical and Sunscreen Properties
High refractive index (approx. 2.7): reflects / scatters UVA + UVB across the spectrum for physical sun protection. Non-chemical absorption, mild and non-irritating
Particle size determines performance:
Nanoscale (10–50 nm): high transparency, no whitening effect, suitable for lightweight sunscreens / tone-up creams
Submicron / Micron scale (>100 nm): extremely high covering power, used in foundations, concealers, loose powders
Surface Treatment: Commonly coated with SiO₂, Al₂O₃, and organosilicon to improve dispersibility, reduce photocatalytic activity, and minimize skin irritation
2. Physicochemical Stability
Chemically inert, light-resistant, heat-resistant, oxidation-resistant; does not react with most cosmetic raw materials, extending product shelf life
Insoluble in water and oil, with excellent formulation compatibility
3. Safety
Safe for skin contact: When non-nano grade ≤25% and nano grade used in compliance, no penetration or irritation risk to healthy skin; suitable for sensitive skin and children
Main Applications
1. Sun Care Products (Primary Use)
Physical sunscreens, sunscreen lotions, sunscreen sprays (often compounded with zinc oxide for enhanced broad-spectrum protection)
Day creams, primers, BB/CC creams: combine sun protection and complexion correction
2. Color Cosmetics
Foundations, concealers, loose powders, pressed powders: provide high coverage, even skin tone, matte / soft-focus finish
Eyeshadows, highlighters, lipsticks: whiten, brighten, adjust pearlescent effects
3. Skincare / Complexion Products
Tone-up creams, brightening creams: brighten skin tone, provide light coverage
Certain anti-aging products: utilize photocatalytic properties to assist in scavenging free radicals (mainly anatase type)
Differences from Industrial Grade Titanium Dioxide
|
Item |
Cosmetic Grade |
Industrial Grade |
|
Purity |
Extremely high, TiO₂ ≥98%, very low heavy metals (lead, mercury, arsenic) |
Lower purity, high impurities |
|
Particle Size |
Precisely controlled (nanometer–micron), uniform distribution |
Wide particle size range, uneven distribution |
|
Surface Treatment |
Strict coating (silica / alumina / organic), low photocatalytic activity |
No or simple treatment |
|
Safety |
Complies with cosmetic regulations, safe for direct skin contact |
Not for cosmetic use |
Key Points for Formulation Selection
For high sun protection + transparency: choose surface-treated nano rutile type (10–30 nm)
For strong coverage + matte finish: choose micron rutile type (>100 nm)
For sensitive skin / children: prioritize **double-coated (SiO₂+Al₂O₃) rutile type**
Maximum loading level: ≤25% for sun care products; adjusted as needed for color cosmetics / skincare products.
