As an inorganic sunscreen material, nano-titanium dioxide (nano-TiO 2 ) owns broad prospects in sunscreen cosmetics for its small size, non-toxicity, strong covering ability, UV absorption and scattering abilities, etc. Nano-TiO 2 has high photocatalytic activity, so it will go through a series of complex chemical reactions under light irradiation and cause damage to its surrounding agents. In addition, it is hard to disperse in various aqueous and non-aqueous mediums due to its high surface energy and hydrophobic property. In order to apply nano-TiO 2 to cosmetics effectively and safely, its surface modification is necessary. This paper reviews nano-TiO 2 's preparation, modification, and its application in sunscreen cosmetics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
