Despite these concerns, the use of TiO2 in food manufacturing continues to grow. This is largely due to its effectiveness as a whitening agent and its low cost. Additionally, manufacturers have taken steps to ensure that TiO2 is used safely in their products. For example, they may use smaller particle sizes or encapsulate the TiO2 to reduce its potential for inhalation or ingestion For example, they may use smaller particle sizes or encapsulate the TiO2 to reduce its potential for inhalation or ingestion For example, they may use smaller particle sizes or encapsulate the TiO2 to reduce its potential for inhalation or ingestion For example, they may use smaller particle sizes or encapsulate the TiO2 to reduce its potential for inhalation or ingestionfood safe titanium dioxide factory.

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.
