Preparation and SPF Evaluation of Sunscreen Cream Containing Titanium Dioxide

Titanium dioxide, a physical sunscreen, is a metal oxide which reflects and disperses incident UV radiation by an optical mechanism. Sun protect factor (SPF) indicates the level of protection from UV rays. This study aims to prepare titanium dioxide sunscreen cream and evaluate its SPF. Sunscreen cr...

Description
Summary:Titanium dioxide, a physical sunscreen, is a metal oxide which reflects and disperses incident UV radiation by an optical mechanism. Sun protect factor (SPF) indicates the level of protection from UV rays. This study aims to prepare titanium dioxide sunscreen cream and evaluate its SPF. Sunscreen cream was first prepared by emulsification method, and then mixed with titanium dioxide. As a result, the sunscreen cream loaded with 5% titanium dioxide had good visual performance, physical stability, and medium UV protection effect with SPF 20+
