TITANIUM DIOXIDE

Not on the EU Annex III list

Titanium Dioxide is the inorganic oxide. To identify the colourant meeting the requirements for labelling purposes in the EU, the INCI Name 77891 must be used. It conforms generally to the formula:

TITANIUM DIOXIDE is listed in the European Commission CosIng inventory under the functional categories Colorant, Opacifying, Uv Absorber, Uv Filter, with CAS number 13463-67-7 and EC number 236-675-5. CosIng records a restriction against it (IV/143 VI/27 VI/27a (nano)), so check the corresponding Annex entry before formulating. In the free INCIDB sample it appears on 9 product labels, reaching position 5 on Alga Maris Crème solaire 50+. Fulton (1989) grades it 0 on the 0–5 comedogenicity scale; that grade is transcribed as-is and is the only rating source used.
