Titanium Dioxide
Titanium dioxide is an inorganic compound used as an opaque white pigment and UV-filtering agent in sunscreens, topical formulations, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical tablet coatings, providing photoprotection through physical scattering and absorption of UV radiation. Its photocatalytic properties under UV irradiation generate reactive oxygen species, making it useful in antimicrobial applications, though this property also raises safety concerns for inhalation or internal exposure. In dermatology it serves as a physical blocker in sunscreens for conditions like atopic dermatitis where chemical UV filters may cause irritation.
