Friends of the Earth revealed new testing results from the Australian Government’s National Measurement Institute, which found that many popular sunscreen and cosmetic products are using a potentially hazardous form -- anatase titanium dioxide. Six of the eight products tested, including well-known brands such as Nivea, L'Oreal, and CoverGirl, were found to contain this ingredient. (2)
FDA guidelines:Americans are eating too much salt. So the FDA wants food manufacturers to cut back on sodium.
Titanium dioxide is often listed in the ingredients list on the product label when used in home, beauty and personal care products.
Description:
China is one of the leading producers of titanium dioxide in the world, with a market share of over 40%. Titanium dioxide, also known as TiO2, is a white pigment widely used in various industries such as paints, coatings, plastics, and paper. China produces titanium dioxide with a purity level of 99%, making it one of the highest quality products available in the market.
Scattering is strong when the difference in the refractive index of particle & matrix, Δn = np - nm, is big
The refractive index of binders used in coatings and inks is around 1.55. Titanium Dioxide is preferably used as a scattering source because the pigment does not absorb visible light and it has a high refractive index.
