I am not sure, but I would I would assume for the reasons given by another, for coloring.

It's used as a white food coloring agent in the manufacturing industry. It's considered safe in low amounts. I agree that they should find an alternative.The most common minerals found in natural lipsticks are titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, iron oxide, mica, and silica. Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are used as colorants and for SPF protection.

I looked at the label and it lists titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. I see no chemical sunscreen ingredient on the label. I'm very sensitive to the chemical sunblocks and the Eclipse formulation causes me no problems. I am on my second tube.

according to the other ingredients list, the capsule consists of gelatin and titanium dioxide. so the awnser to your question is yes.

a quick Google search shows a variety of information. this is the site i liked: http://www.ccohs.ca/oshanswers/chemicals/chem_profiles/titanium_dioxide.html it shows that titanium dioxide may be harmful to humans in sunscreen, but not when it is ingested, so i guess it's fine in spry gum.

Hi. I called the 1.800.877.8869 on the bottle and was told that the titanium dioxide has nano particles, but that they aretoo small to penetrate the skin.

Ferrous sulfate contains FD&C red #40 aluminum lake, titanium dioxide, magnesium stearate, polyenthylene glycol (PEG)8000, carnauba wax. I hope this answer your question!

I can't believe that this company, that promotes wellness, didn't already know the levels of heavy metals in their products? Rice protein from Asia? I feel so stupid to have been ingesting this for 3 years, not to mention feeding it to my family.

Like Tina said, this is a paste of alloy (powder?) in a flux of some sort. It isn't a powder, which is what your question seems to assume.

get on naturalnews.com and do some research! hemp, pea, and chia don't have the high heavy metal content and its because all of the rice protein from china is being watered with water that is 80 percent more toxic than even their government allows. so when Mike from naturalnews.com discovered this in his lab he blew the whole industry up

Its very unlikely to be metal. It's probably just limescale - especially if you live in an area that has particularly hard water. It's just a residue left by minerals in the water. Just rinse it out from time to time. The filter inside the spout of the kettle is designed to stop those bits of limescale from getting into your cup.

Most important ? that I am recommending is this: I ordered Katadyn and upon arrival realized it didn't filter heavy metals. If you look into the sky on any day you will notice that chemtrails are abound everywhere. One of the main ingredients in chemtrails is Aluminum followed by barium.. Don't know about you but I am interested in keeping heavy metals out of my body thus I returned the Katadyn. It is worth searching the Berkey system to see if this applies as well.. Good luck to U..

The color changed because some imbecile in the compnay convinced others to put TITANIUM DIOXIDE, a chemical salt which is NOT GOOD for you, in the product. THis chemical is used for color ONLY, and has no nutrition value. I was fooled by this also. Never again: Nature's Way. "Nature" indeed!

It isn't titanium or it would have said it on the box. Keep looking, this one is junk!

It now says in the description that there is indeed sulfur dioxide within the product. This is for those that might read this question without checking the description :)

The active ingredient is actually Titanium Dioxide 9.1% - all other ingredients are listed as inactive.

I would be totally shocked if this powder contains lead or any other harmful ingredients. But I am not the producer. I would try checking with Amazon if you are concerned, they may give you the producer's name.

I chose this brand because it was recommended by DR. OZ because I believe the ingredients are non toxic. Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are the active ingredients. They provide a clear sunscreen due to the active ingredients as opposed to other more toxic white sunscreens that are actually just a white reflective coating for your skin. I have used this on my face for well over a year and highly recommend it.
