Does Titanium Dioxide Cause Cancer?
If I use Titanium Dioxide on my skin, Will I get cancer? NO. Titanium Dioxide is a naturally occurring mineral widely used as pigment and as an ingredient in skincare to help block harmful UV sun rays. It has many other uses as well. It is used in makeup, soap, toothpaste, even on pumpkin seeds!! A recent Canadian study indicated that titanium exposure caused respiratory lung cancer in a rat study. Please do an internet search and read it for yourself. Beach weather: Sunblock versus Sunscreen. Sunblock and sunscreen are two 2 different things. Sunblock contains titanium dioxide, zinc oxide and has a lower sun protection factor in it so you have to reapply the product. Both titanium and zinc are physical barriers, meaning they will stay on the surface of your skin reflecting sunlight and other environmental dangers like free radicals (cancer causes and aging). Titanium and Zinc are both white in color and can be used on anybody without complications or sensitivities due to the fact it does not penetrate your skin. What I think many people are concerned about are the chemical sunscreens that are the oil free higher spf's that neutralize the UV rays once they enter your epidermis (skin). Those can cause cancer because they do not block free radicals. They also work by setting off a chemical reaction inside your skin. If you find a product with titanium dioxide it is safe!!! It will prevent cancer rays if used and reapplied correctly. It will also protect against other environmental factors. Trust me its good ...and safe to use on your skin. Free radicals as described in Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: In chemistry, radicals (often referred to as free radicals) are atomic or molecular species with unpaired electrons on an otherwise open shell configuration. These unpaired electrons are usually highly reactive, so radicals are likely to take part in chemical reactions. Radicals play an important role in combustion, atmospheric chemistry, polymerization, plasma chemistry, biochemistry, and many other chemical processes, including human physiology. For example, superoxide and nitric oxide regulate many biological processes, such as controlling vascular tone. "Radical" and "free radical" are frequently used interchangeably, however a radical may be trapped within a solvent cage or be otherwise bound. Simply put, titanium stays on top of your skin rather than penetrate it. Reference: http://www.ccohs.ca/headlines/text186.html |
