The additives that received a “no safety concern” conclusion based on current estimated dietary exposure are as follows:
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.
Nestled amidst verdant landscapes, the Ponceau 4R and Titanium Dioxide factory stands as a testament to modern industrial prowess. This facility is not just another manufacturing plant; it's a hub of innovation and quality assurance in the production of synthetic dyes and pigments. The story of this factory is one of dedication, scientific advancement, and environmental stewardship.
