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.

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.

This is a certified holy grail. Where do i even start? It goes smoothly on the face, the coverage is very good for a BB cream, feels light on the face and leaves a beautifull glowy finish on the skin. I set it with a setting spray (mac fix it +, another great one) and the foundation doesnt move around or fades away. It sets very beautifully, including those more problematic areas (like the nose) where it looks absolutly natural. Looks great during the day, and the skin feels hydrated. If you have oily skin, you may get oily in dome areas, like the T zone. The shade really matches my complexion, and i dont even feel the need to use this on my neck (i use n° 23)
Will buy again, for sure!
