Is titanium dioxide safe?

The short answer
Titanium dioxide is a white mineral pigment used for opacity and coverage. Concern centers on inhalation of respirable powder forms and on nano-sized particles, not on the pigment in a liquid or cream. Our pressed powders omit it; our wet formulas use the non-nano grade, and each product page says which.
Titanium dioxide is a white mineral pigment. The concerns raised about it in the literature relate largely to nano-sized particles and to inhalation of loose powder, not to non-nano pigment bound into a liquid or cream.
We use non-nano particle size only, in the Liquid Foundation, the Cream Foundation and the eyeshadow duos. We make no sun protection claim of any kind for it — here it is a coverage pigment and nothing else.
Our pressed foundation, blush, highlighter and trios contain none of it, and their pages say so. If it is on your avoid list, that is where to look.
