Most physical uv filter ingredients share a general approach. Titanium Dioxide is more targeted than most. Physical barrier; reflects and scatters UV light; minimal absorption.
The scientific name is Titanium Dioxide. Physical barrier; reflects and scatters UV light; minimal absorption. This mechanism is consistent across properly formulated products, which means the real variable is concentration and delivery system.
Typical working concentration is 5–25% (in sunscreens). Best suited to all skin types, especially sensitive skin. Primary applications: broad-spectrum uv protection (uva/uvb).
Works well with: Zinc oxide (synergistic UV coverage), all skincare.
Non-irritating; preferred for sensitive/reactive skin; may leave white cast.
