Titanium dioxide is derived from titanium, which is extracted from the minerals rutile and ilmenite. It is used as a white pigment in soap, a natural sun protectant, and it gives the highest tinting power of any white pigment. Titanium dioxide is a mineral compound used in a wide-range of body care products, including sunscreens and makeup. It has a low level of skin penetration, but there is a concern if inhalation occurs. As with other powders used in cosmetics, the risk is that the powder is inhaled in its raw form. Living Nature uses binding agents such as octyldodecyl stearoyl stearate, zinc stearate and magnesium sterate in the products to keep particles from becoming airborne.
