Inhalation & Cancer: The data suggests nanoized titanium dioxide can be inhaled by some mammals, leading to concerns about adverse effects of human inhalation. Existing studies have suggested TiO2 nanoparticles may be more toxic than traditional larger particles of TiO2.
1 Μαρ 2024 · This article aims to shed light on the darker aspects of titanium dioxide, particularly its use in cosmetics and the growing concerns linking it to adverse health effects, including cancer ...
The Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) considers nano-TiO 2 as a non-sensitizer and as mild- or non-irritant to skin and concludes in no evidence of carcinogenicity (supported by the European Chemicals Agency), mutagenicity or reproductive toxicity after dermal exposure to nano-TiO 2.
Finally, SCCS provided an Opinion on TiO2 (nano form) coated with Cetyl Phosphate, Manganese Dioxide or Triethoxycaprylylsilane as UV-filter in dermally-applied cosmetics (SCCS/1580/16). The Opinion confirmed previous assessment: safe use in cosmetics for products intended for application on skin.
Despite the widespread consensus on the safety of TiO 2 in cosmetic applications, concerns have recently been raised following the opinion delivered by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in May 2021 on the food grade of TiO 2 called E171, which is also used in cosmetics.
13 Απρ 2018 · When inhaled, titanium dioxide is considered possibly carcinogenic to humans. This means that in products that contain powdered titanium dioxide like loose powders, pressed powders, eyeshadows, and blushes in which the makeup is in powder form, titanium dioxide can be inhaled.
1 Ιουν 2023 · Titanium dioxide nanoparticles are widely used in cosmetics, especially in sunscreens due to their capacity to absorb UV harmful wavelengths. However, their biocompatibility remains controversial.
