Ponceau 4R, also known as Red No. 40, is a synthetic azo dye that is commonly used as a food coloring. It has a bright red color and is approved for use in the United States, Canada, and the European Union. In the cosmetics industry, Ponceau 4R is used as a colorant to add vibrant hues to lipsticks, blushes, eyeshadows, and other makeup products. It is known for its stability and compatibility with other ingredients, making it a popular choice among manufacturers.

Titanium dioxide can form several different shapes, which have different properties. Some shapes can be converted to nanomaterials. Micronized TiO2 (also called “nano” or “nanoparticles”) was introduced in the early 1990s.Nanotechnology and micronization both refer to the practice of creating very small particles sizes of a given material. “Nanoparticles” usually refers to particles smaller than 100 nanometers; a nanometer is 1/1 billionth of a meter. At these small sizes, and at low concentrations, titanium dioxide appears transparent, allowing for effective sunscreens that do not appear white.

The disadvantage of Titanium Dioxide is that it's not cosmetically elegant, meaning it's a white, unspreadable mess. Sunscreens containing Titanium Dioxide are often hard to spread on the skin and they leave a disturbing whitish tint. The cosmetic industry is, of course, really trying to solve this problem and the best solution so far is using nanoparticles. The itsy-bitsy Nano-sized particles improve both spreadability and reduce the whitish tint a lot, but unfortunately, it also introduces new health concerns.

Despite its many advantages, the production of lithopone is not without its challenges. The raw materials used to make lithopone, particularly zinc sulfide, can be expensive and difficult to source. In addition, the production process itself can be complex and energy-intensive, requiring specialized equipment and skilled workers to operate. As a result, lithopone manufacturers must carefully manage their operations to ensure they remain competitive in the market.


...

I will now describe some typical methods of practicing my invention, whereby lithopone of any desired grade may be produced. One of the known grades of lithopone as prepared and mixed for the trade contains sev- 6o enteen per cent. of zinc sullid. To produce this grade and a by-product of hydrosulfid of sodium, for example, I proceed as follows: The usual precautions, it will be understood, mustbe taken in preparing or for insuring the purity of the several ingredients used; but these preliminaries do not require description here. Separate aqueous solutions of the following ingredients in the proportions named are prepared: zinc sulfate, one x hundred and sixty-one pounds; barium sulfid, three hundred and thirty-eight pounds, and sodium bisulfate one hundred and twenty pounds. These ingredients, it will be recognized, are readily soluble in water. The separate solutions are then mixed and the following chemical reaction at once takes place:
