Hi everyone! Afriend from a soapers list asked if Titanium Dioxide was
natural? She's using it in soap I think & I'm not sure if this is a
chemical, oxide , or what ... can anyone help??
Also thanks for all the shaving brush info!
You all are so smart!!!!!!

Listed as non- toxic , however as paint pigment
is prepared ultra fine and will go deeper into your lungs
than normal if inhaled . It is man - made .
Is she whitening the soap ? [ just curious ]

Hi:

Titanium Dioxide is extracted from the minerals, anatase and brookite. I
think sometimes from Rutile also but this bears some iron too and I believe
the purest yield is from Anatase.
