Then, there’s ultrafine-grade, also known as nanoscale titanium dioxide. This is used for its ability to scatter lightly as an ultra-fine powder. This gives it the ability to lightly absorb into the skin while providing a bit of transparency. Below, we’ll go more into the cosmetic uses of these two forms of titanium dioxide.

Magnesium oxide (MgO). It is used as a curing agent and an acid scavenger in solvent-borne polychloroprene adhesives. It is a white powder with a high melting point. It has a greater ability to reflect visible light more efficiently than titanium dioxide
