Titanium Dioxide (TiO2), a widely used compound across various industries due to its exceptional refractive index and high photocatalytic activity, is an essential component in sectors ranging from cosmetics to paints and coatings, food additives, and even solar panels. The wholesale TiO2 market plays a crucial role in ensuring a steady supply of this versatile material; however, with its extensive usage comes the responsibility of maintaining stringent safety measures.

On the other hand, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in their Final Administrative Order on Sunscreen Drug Products posted in September 2021 still accepts titanium dioxide up to 25% in the list of Generally Recognized As Safe and Effective (GRASE) in the main document, without further clarification on what kind or size of particles [9]. However, on page 24 (Sunscreen containing nanomaterials) FDA clearly “distinguish nanomaterials from other forms of these ingredients'' (zinc oxide and titanium dioxide) and ask for comments on “any particular nanomaterials that you believe should not be permitted for use in OTC sunscreen products”. To the best of our knowledge, this Agency did not ban the use of nanoparticulate titanium dioxide in any form, even though it is mentioned on page 34 that the anatase form is the more photoactive one, due to the lack of evidence with real sunscreens OTC (over the counter) in vivo. Moreover, other regulations in Latin America (MERCOSUR agreement, 2006) do not state clearly their position on the use of nanoparticulate TiO2NPs [10].

Furthermore, the increasing demand for eco-friendly products has led to a growing interest in titanium dioxide as an alternative to traditional pigments. Titanium dioxide nanoparticles have been shown to have photocatalytic properties, which can help break down pollutants in the air and water. This makes it an attractive option for manufacturers looking to reduce their environmental impact while still producing high-quality products.

A significant body of research, mostly from rodent models and in vitro studies, has linked titanium dioxide with health risks related to the gut, including intestinal inflammation, alterations to the gut microbiota, and more. It is classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in Group 2B, as possibly carcinogenic to humans.
