Analysis and characterization of titanium dioxide (TiO2)
Industrialists of the cosmetic sector, you wish to analyze and characterize titanium dioxide (TiO2) in your products
What is TiO2 in cosmetic products?
First, titanium dioxide TiO2 is a naturally occurring mineral compound that is also manufactured industrially. This white pigment is used as a dye and its opacifying properties. In addition, its characteristics also make it an interesting UV filter in sunscreens and makeup products.
Indeed, where many sunscreens absorb UV rays, titanium dioxide forms a barrier to refract them.
Why analyze and characterize titanium dioxide (TiO2) in your cosmetic products?
TiO2 is classified as a possible human carcinogen (category 2B) by inhalation by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). It is therefore prohibited, in the form of nanomaterials, in aerosols and in products presenting a proven inhalation risk.
Thus, the support of a laboratory specialized in the analysis and characterization of titanium dioxide in cosmetic products is a considerable asset.
