Is there a difference between the titanium dioxide used in paint and in sunscreen?
While the basic chemical composition of titanium dioxide remains the same, the form and particle size used in paints versus sunscreens can differ. Sunscreen formulations often use nano-sized particles to minimize the white cast and improve cosmetic acceptability, whereas in paint, a broader range of particle sizes may be used to optimize opacity and whiteness.
