"Titanium dioxide, a compound whose toxicity remains unclear, is another ingredient found in many sunscreens. Researchers now say the chemical can be absorbed by human skin. titanium dioxide is a fine, white powder used in sunscreens because of its ability to reflect and scatter ultraviolet light.

"SPF rating that's too low to provide sufficient daytime protection (especially if this is your only source of sunscreen).

"If a product has any radiation, pesticides, herbicides, organophosphates, heavy metals, talcum powder, magnesium stearate, titanium dioxide, or other synthetic materials, it may potentially disrupt the energetic field. These toxins have access to the interior of the cell and may potentially damage the mitochondrial DNA in a disproportionate amount. This concept is based on the principle of coherence, described earlier in this chapter. This means that a little disturbance of the field may cause a disproportionate entropic shift in the field because it shifts the coherence." - Gabriel Cousens, M.D., Spiritual Nutrition: Six Foundations for Spiritual Life and the Awakening of Kundalini (Get the book.)

Many sunscreens employ PABA and its derivatives, such as padimate O, an ingredient that effectively absorbs UVB radiation.

Sunblocks are typically creams or pastes that contain zinc oxide or titanium dioxide." - Arthur C. Upton, M.D., Staying Healthy in a Risky Environment: The New York University Medical Center Family Guide (Get the book.)

"Damage Control Creme Conditioner, for Frizzy, Dry or Color-Treated Hair ($10 for 8 ounces) is a lightweight conditioner that lists titanium dioxide as a UVA sunscreen. However, in this conditioner it is used strictly as an opacifying agent and cannot offer sun protection. This can be good option for normal to slightly dry hair that is normal to fine or thin, but it won't control or change the amount of damage your hair may have. © Forest Essence Vital Conditioner ($7.35 for 8 ounces) is an emollient conditioner that is excellent for normal to very dry hair that is normal to coarse or thick." - Paula Begoun, Don't Go Shopping for Hair-Care Products Without Me (Get the book.) "This works only if you use a sunscreen with an SPF 15 or higher rating that also contains a UVA-protecting ingredient—either titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, or avobenzone (which may also be listed as butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane or Parsol 1789). For more information about sun protection and the critical difference between UVA and UVB sun damage, refer to my Web site, www.cosmeticscop." - Paula Begoun, Don't Go Shopping for Hair-Care Products Without Me (Get the book.) "As for the caviar, it and a lengthy list of other intriguing ingredients are listed after the mineral pigments mica and titanium dioxide, which add shimmer and opacity to this conditioner, but won't help make hair smoother or softer. At best, this is a decent, though overpriced, conditioner for normal to dry hair with a normal to thin texture. © $$$ Caviar Treatment Conditioner with Age-Control Complex ($24 for 8." - Paula Begoun, Don't Go Shopping for Hair-Care Products Without Me (Get the book.)

"Nothing about it is a restorative treatment for aging skin, and some of the fragrance components can be a problem on skin rhat's exposed to sunlight. © $$$ Super Restorative Night Wear ($102for 1.7 ounces) is nearly identical in emollient feel and performance to the Super Restorative Day Cream above, and the same basic comments apply. There is no logical reason to charge $10 more for this product than for the Day Cream, but this would still be illogically priced even if it cost only $20." - Paula Begoun and Bryan Barron, Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me, 7th Edition (Get the book.)

"Micronized titanium dioxide is used in the newest sunscreens. It reflects ultraviolet rays instead of absorbing rays as traditional zinc oxide-based sunscreens do.

"It's a shame that these positive traits are mixed with fragrant plant oils, including geranium, jasmine, and orange, all of which are potential irritants. In addition, orange oil is phototoxic, which means it can cause adverse reactions on skin that is exposed to sunlight (Source: www. naturaldatabase.com), although there is debate about how much orange oil is needed to cause such a reaction. Many aromatherapy Web sites recommend not using orange oil if skin will be exposed to sun, while others recommend using less than 1." - Paula Begoun and Bryan Barron, Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me, 7th Edition (Get the book.)

"She suggests using a sunscreen containing titanium dioxide, such as Neutrogena Sensitive Skin Sunblock. Unlike sunscreens made with other chemicals, titanium dioxide does not irritate rosacea-prone skin. Drink with care. Alcohol dilates blood vessels, so it often induces flare-ups in people with rosacea. Monitor how your rosacea reacts to alcoholic beverages. If it aggravates your condition, reduce your intake or avoid alcohol entirely, advises Dr. Lupo. Try chamomile. Chamomile is an herbal remedy that may soothe rosacea-ravaged skin, says Dr. Lupo." - Doug Dollemore, The Doctor's Book of Home Remedies for Seniors (Get the book.)
