Selecting Titanium Dioxide for Water-Based Mist Spray Sunscreen
Question
Which type of Titanium Dioxide should be selected for a water-based mist spray sunscreen using a standard water spray head? I tried the LiquidNano version, but it resulted in a sticky texture, more like a lotion.
Answer
Based on the available information, for creating a water-based mist spray sunscreen that requires a light, non-sticky texture and is specifically intended for sunscreen formulas, I recommend Titanium Dioxide Transparent (15nm, Water-Dispersion).
This product is an ultra-small particle size (15nm) Titanium Dioxide that disperses well in water. It is designed for use in water-based or oil-in-water emulsion sunscreen formulations that require a liquid texture and provide sheer coverage. This aligns with your need for a water-based spray and avoiding a thick consistency.
Regarding the products Titanium Dioxide 250nm WaterDisperse™ and WaterMix™ White (Titanium Dioxide 60%, Water-Dispersible Liquid), the information clearly states that they are suitable only for makeup products and are not recommended for sunscreen products.
