Characteristics of Common White Pigments
While Skittles don't include white in their line-up, Dr. Johnson-Arbor theorizes that titanium dioxide is used to help contain all the other beautiful colors.
In cosmetics, titanium dioxide’s properties enhance coloration and can help protect skin from damaging UVA and UVB rays.
It turns into light gray after being exposed to ultraviolet rays in sunlight for 6 to 7 hours, but it will return to its original color when placed in a dark place. It is easy to oxidize in the air and then agglomerate and deteriorate when exposed to moisture.
