Guest guest Posted May 31, 2001 Report Share Posted May 31, 2001 TITANIUM DIOXIDE is valued as a natural sunscreen and reflecting agent against the full spectrum of the sun's damaging rays. A powder mined from titanium ore, very effective UV blocker. Safe for your skin and the environment. Is that the same as your " titinum " ?

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2001 Report Share Posted May 31, 2001 Hi Valarie, Friday, June 01, 2001, 4:31:51 AM, you wrote: VN> i am getting soo confused. titinum is in the list of harmful VN> ingredients but it is in sunblocks and is not a chemical filter. good VN> or bad, i know it gets used to colour paint! HELP!!! you probably mean titanium dioxide. it is a physical sunscreen i.e. reflect the suns rays by the natural affect of the molecules (as opposed to chemical sunscreens which try to absorb and disperse the sun's effect). TiO2 (=titanium dioxide) is a popular physical because of low ittitancy. It is second in popularity to Zinc Oxide as a physical sunscreen. Sadly it is the overall formulation that is important as a sunscreen may have a mixture of both physical and chemical elements. For those who have reactions to for eg. octyl methocinimate, a pure physical sunscreen can be an alternative. There are some good messages in the list highlights about sunscreens.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2001 Report Share Posted June 1, 2001 Valarie; I have found PreSun's Sun Block 28 to be the best for my skin, and its primary ingredient is Titanium. Like all Resacea treatments, each must be tried by each individual to see what works best. Titanium works well for me. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
