Some websites maintain titanium dioxide is inferior to zinc oxide, another mineral sunscreen ingredient whose core characteristics are similar to those of titanium dioxide. The reality is that titanium dioxide is a great broad-spectrum SPF ingredient and is widely used in all manner of sun-protection products. What gets confusing for some consumers is trying to decipher research that ranks sunscreen ingredients by a UV spectrum graph. By most standards, broad-spectrum coverage for sunscreen ingredients is defined as one that surpasses 360 nanometers (abbreviated as “nm” - how the sun’s rays are measured). Titanium dioxide exceeds this range of protection, but depending on whose research you read, it either performs as well as or slightly below zinc oxide.
The process of manufacturing titanium dioxide begins with the extraction of titanium ore, such as rutile or ilmenite, from the ground. The ore is then processed to remove impurities and other minerals, leaving behind a pure form of titanium dioxide. This pure form is then further processed through various chemical reactions to create the final pigment.

Lithopone B301, Lithopone B311 powder’s 2 main components:
Titanium dioxide has similar uses in non-food products. It is used in sunscreen as effective protection against UVA/UVB rays from the sun, which creates a physical barrier between the sun’s rays and the skin. It’s also used to whiten paint, paper, plastic, ink, rubber, and cosmetics.

Tinting(contrast to the sample)
Titanium dioxide, commonly known as titanium white, is a widely used pigment that imparts a brilliant white color to various products. It is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula TiO2 and is derived from titanium ore. This versatile material has a range of applications across multiple industries due to its unique properties such as high brightness, excellent whiteness, and chemical stability.
