What is coated titanium dioxide?

Titanium Dioxide is a physical mineral sunscreen filter that reflects and scatters UV rays. In its uncoated form, TiO₂ can generate ROS when exposed to UV light.

PFor this reason, dermatological sunscreens use coated Titanium Dioxide, meaning the particles are encapsulated with protective layers (silica, alumina, stearates) that:

  • they block photocatalysis
  • increase stability
  • improve skin tolerability

It is one of the safest and most studied filters in the world.


How it works on the skin

  1. Immediate UVB protection​
    TiO₂ reflects and scatters UVB rays responsible for erythema and sunburn.
  2. UVA II protection
    Covers the 320–340 nm range, essential for preventing photoaging.
  3. Zero photocatalysis (thanks to the coating)
    The coating prevents ROS formation, making it safe even for reactive skin.
  4. No skin penetration
    Non‑nano particles remain on the skin surface and do not enter the dermis.
