Pigmentary Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) is a unique white mineral pigment (the whitest) which is an essential ingredient in many industries, especially the color cosmetic segment. However, the use of TiO2 in Beauty and Personal care market is decreasing slowly since 2019.
なぜ？
TiO2 is used in a variety of personal care products, including sunscreens, pressed powders, and loose powders, as a UV filter or whitening agent. In lotions and creams, it presents low risk of exposure. However, when the TiO2 is small enough to be inhalable, it is classified as a potential carcinogen by the Internation Agency for Research on Cancer. Existing studies have suggested TiO2 nanoparticles may be more toxic than traditional larger particles of TiO2.
Hence, cosmetic companies are looking for an alternative of TiO2. However it’s not easy as an effective titanium dioxide substitute will not have the same outstanding properties when it comes to whiteness, covering capacity and opacity.
Sensient developed SensiOp White, in response to meet this specific demand.
