Titanium Dioxide 1 kg

The White Powder Behind Most Paints, Plastics and Cosmetic Formulas Worldwide

Whenever a product needs a dense, opaque white color that resists fading under sunlight, one raw material is almost always responsible for that result across dozens of industries. The dry form of this pigment is listed under Titanium Dioxide, and the 1 kg package fits both small-batch cosmetic studios and slightly larger craft production runs where a stable supply matters more than a tiny sample size.

The largest global demand for this pigment traditionally comes from the paint and coatings industry and plastics manufacturing, where it serves as the primary white filler responsible for opacity and long-term color stability against UV exposure. Paper production, ceramics and construction materials rely on the same whitening and opacifying properties. In the cosmetic sector, titanium dioxide is a cornerstone ingredient for sunscreen formulas, acting as a physical barrier against ultraviolet rays, and it is equally common in decorative cosmetics as the base for white pigments, tone correctors and lightening agents in powders and eyeshadows. Soap makers use it to achieve a clean, bright white base, while candle makers rely on it to eliminate streaking and produce a dense, uniform wax color.

Dosage varies by application. In cold and hot process soap, the powder is typically added at 0.5 to 2 grams per 100 grams of oil base, first dispersed in a small amount of carrier oil or glycerin to form a smooth paste free of clumps. In creams and lotions, concentrations usually range from 1 to 5 percent of the finished product mass, introduced during the oil phase mixing stage at around 60 to 70 degrees Celsius so the particles disperse evenly through the fat matrix. In sunscreen formulations the share can reach 10 to 25 percent depending on the targeted protection factor. For candle wax, the powder is first blended into a small portion of melted wax at 70 to 80 degrees Celsius and then stirred into the main batch right before pouring to prevent settling at the bottom of the mold.

Titanium dioxide pairs well with silica, mica pigments and glitters, allowing formulators to layer pearlescent or matte effects without losing the underlying whiteness. Combined with iron oxides it produces stable flesh tones and pastel shades for decorative cosmetics. When working in oil-based systems, pre-dispersing the powder is essential, otherwise visible specks may appear in the final product. Store the raw material in a tightly sealed container, in a dry area at room temperature, since the powder tends to clump when exposed to humid air.

The 1 kg pack size works well for makers moving past initial trials into repeatable small-batch production, since it supports a consistent formula without running short mid-batch, while the remainder stays stable for extended periods when properly sealed.

Physical Sunscreen Lotion Base

Shea butter 60 g

Coconut oil 40 g

Emulsifying wax 30 g

Titanium Dioxide 25 g

Distilled water 340 g

Vitamin E oil 5 ml

Melt the shea butter, coconut oil and emulsifying wax together in a water bath at around 70 degrees Celsius until fully liquid. Separately disperse the titanium dioxide into a small portion of warm distilled water to form a smooth, lump-free paste, then blend it into the melted oil phase while stirring continuously. Slowly add the remaining warm water at the same temperature, mixing until a uniform lotion forms, then cool the mixture while stirring gently and add the vitamin E oil once the temperature drops below 40 degrees Celsius before transferring the finished lotion into storage containers.
