What are the benefits of using titanium dioxide instead of chemical sunscreens?
Chemical sunscreens interact with our skin differently from natural sunscreens. To be effective at filtering the sun’s rays, they must be absorbed into your skin. This is why most chemical sunscreens must be applied approximately 30 minutes before you go out into the sun. Titanium dioxide, on the other hand, is active immediately upon application because it works by laying on the surface of the skin. It acts as a sun block by reflecting the sun away from the skin and not allowing it to penetrate.
