Titanium dioxide is known for its UVA and UVB protection properties. It is non-comedogenic and non-irritating. Titanium Dioxide is a physical sunscreen. Physical sunscreens reflect light and prevent it from reaching your skin.

Protecting your skin against UV radiation can prevent the signs of aging. Sun damage is associated with fine-lines, wrinkles, loss of firmness, and hyperpigmentation. Titanium dioxide can help prevent premature aging.

With modern production, nano-scale or fine-grade titanium dioxide can be easily produced for cosmetics. In sunscreen, titanium dioxide absorbs UV light. Our skin is not able to absorb Titanium dioxide, even nanoparticles.

Titanium itself is the 9th most common element in the Earth's crust. Titanium dioxide is formed when oxygen is introduced and can be found in ores, dust, sand, and soil.

Pure titanium dioxide is a white powder that is used in many products to add or change color.

Got rid of my extremely dry lips!
Before using this product, my lips were extremely dry. To the point of having big scabs and them being dry too so they broke and bled. I bought this lip balm and put it on immediately (it was in the morning). At nighttime I noticed I still had some of it on, and the scabs started to come off! They peeled off right away, it was a miracle. It's currently day 3 and although my lips still have some damage, I can notice them healing. The lip balm itself has a minty scent, doesn't feel light or heavy (just right), doesn't have a flavor (no weird aftertaste!) and gives the lips a little bit of a tingling sensation. It's not annoying, I find it soothing. Definitely will buy again once I run out! ❤️
