Micronized titanium dioxide doesn’t penetrate skin so there’s no need to be concerned about it getting into your body. Even when titanium dioxide nanoparticles are used, the molecular size of the substance used to coat the nanoparticles is large enough to prevent them from penetrating beyond the uppermost layers of skin. This means you’re getting the sun protection titanium dioxide provides with no risk of it causing harm to skin or your body. The coating process improves application, enhances sun protection, and prevents the titanium dioxide from interacting with other ingredients in the presence of sunlight, thus enhancing its stability. It not only makes this ingredient much more pleasant to use for sunscreen, but also improves efficacy and eliminates safety concerns. Common examples of ingredients used to coat titanium dioxide are alumina, dimethicone, silica, and trimethoxy capryl silane.

sufiicient sulphuric acid to extract up to 95 per cent or more, of the titanium oxide prescut. This extraction is carried on so that the resulting product, after the addition of the required amount of sulphuric acid, is in the form of a dry powdered .mass, in which approximately 95 per cent of the titanium is in a soluble form. Th dry powdered mass is thenextractedin suitable leaching tanks with water, whereby a solution of approximately 70 grams of sulphuric acid and 100 grams of titanium oxide to the liter, is obtained.
