Rutile vs. Anatase in Cosmetics:
To meet different formulation needs, this product is available in two crystal types:
| Property | Rutile | Anatase |
|---|---|---|
| UV Protection | Strong UVA/UVB scattering; highly effective in sunscreens | Good UV scattering but slightly weaker than Rutile |
| Whitening Effect | Higher refractive index; stronger coverage and opacity | More transparent, less whitening effect on skin |
| Photocatalytic Activity | Very low; stable and safe, minimizing free radical generation | Higher; usually requires surface treatment to reduce activity |
| Best For | Sunscreens, BB/CC creams, foundations, skincare requiring strong UV protection and stability | Daily creams, lotions, lightweight sun care, makeup requiring transparency and natural finish |
Recommendation:
Choose Rutile Type for maximum UV protection, safety, and long-term stability.
Choose Anatase Type for lighter texture, transparency, and natural appearance.
Many formulations use a blend of both to balance performance and aesthetics.
Cosmetic Grade Titanium Dioxide (100 nm) sets the benchmark for excellence in the beauty and skincare industry. Whether you choose Rutile for stability and sun protection, or Anatase for transparency and light feel, this material ensures safe, compliant, and world-class performance in your formulations.
