  • is it safe when its in soap ? i see some use it in the soap to make it more white

  • ASAP, I have silver powder (skin care product) and it has both titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. Are these safe?

  • Hi! Thanks for the video it was great! Can you check out ammonium lauryl/laureth sulfate? I can't seem to find any info on them. I don't if they are safe, all I know is that they dry out my skin.

  • bare minerals contains this i have been using this for a year, so worried

  • Please check your information (MSDSs, etc.) before claiming that a substance is carcinogenic (cancer-causing). In either form TiO2 is not proven to be carcinogenic. The allowable limit for industrial exposure to this substance is 10 mg per cubic meter of air. This may not seem like much at first, but this level is assumed to be safe for a worker's full 8-hour work day; also known as a TWA, time-weighted-average. Hope this helps keep people from worrying about the "C-word".

    There are at least 300 000 women in my city washing off their make up into the sink every day. This gets into the water, begins to accumulate, and then this water is recycled. All of a sudden, there is a bit more than "a low dosage" of Ti02 anytime I touch water.

  • @safecosmeticsnow Man, your cat is huge! What kind of cat is that by the way?

  • Please do one on mica ive found this ingredient in many organic and vegan products

  • @goqwertygo

    I think it to give it a white color.But your right why put it in in the first place.

  • Does anyone know of a face powder that does not contain titanium dioxide, that's reasonably priced?
