Titanium dioxide

Titanium dioxide is a mineral UV filter that sits on the skin to help protect against UVB and some UVA. It is often well tolerated by sensitive skin and is usually paired with zinc oxide or other filters for broad-spectrum protection. It also gives tinted products and foundations their coverage.

AboutTitanium Dioxide

Titanium dioxide is a naturally occurring mineral. In sunscreens it's one of two mineral UV filters, alongside zinc oxide. It helps protect mainly against UVB and shorter UVA rays, so it's usually combined with other filters for broad-spectrum protection.

Mineral filters tend to suit sensitive and redness-prone skin and are often chosen after professional treatments. Older formulas could leave a white cast, but modern versions are much sheerer, and tinted options help on deeper skin tones.

Titanium dioxide is also used in small amounts to give creams and serums an opaque finish, so it appears in some products that aren't sunscreens.

Getting the most from SPF

  • Apply generously as the last step of your morning routine.
  • Reapply every two hours outdoors, and after swimming or sweating.
  • NHS advice is to use at least SPF 30 with good UVA protection.
