Titanium Dioxide (nano), Alumina, Simethicone
Dosage
Adding 5% titanium dioxide to a product gives a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of approximately 10 and protects against 90% UVA/UVB and UVC radiation. Adding 10% gives it a SPF of 15-20. (These are only estimates).
Please note that titanium dioxide can have a slight whitening effect, especially the more you use. However, the whiteness will soon be absorbed by the skin and disappear.
How to use
Just add the powder straight to your melted balm mixture or cream and whisk thoroughly. You can re-melt the mixture with the powder slightly if it doesn't mix in at first.
Limitations
According to EU regulations, if using the Titanium Dioxide as a sunscreen, there is a dosage limit of 25%. If using as a colour, there is no limit.
