Titanium Dioxide: Safe in Sunscreen but Not in Lipstick? What's the Deal? ✨Ep. 86


Listen Later

Should you avoid titanium dioxide in your cosmetics? It's not a simple yes or no answer. I've actually been consulting directly with formulators of cosmetic brands lately and titanium dioxide is a hot topic.

Today, I'll be explaining the science behind the risks of titanium dioxide, differentiates between nano and non-nano forms, and outline when and where the ingredient may be safe or unsafe. With this ingredient, it really depends on the product you're using.

So don't jump to throw away your favorite products just because you see titanium dioxide on the ingredient list! After listening to this episode, you'll be empowered to make more informed decisions at the check out counter. One thing that's less nuanced than your cosmetics: always avoid titanium dioxide in food! You definitely don't want to be ingesting this stuff!

In this episode, we're chatting about: 

  • Why I'm consulting with brands on product formulation
  • Safety concerns and risks of Titanium Dioxide
  • When is Titanium Dioxide safe? 
  • Controversial uses of Titanium Dioxide
