What it does

Titanium dioxide is a physical (mineral) UV filter that works by reflecting and scattering both UVA and UVB radiation at the skin surface. Unlike chemical filters, it does not absorb UV rays and is generally well-tolerated by sensitive skin. It is photostable and does not degrade in sunlight. Often combined with zinc oxide for broader spectrum coverage.
