About this ingredient
Isopropyl titanium triisostearate (INCI: Isopropyl Titanium Triisostearate) is a coating agent for pigments and mineral filters such as titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. It makes their particles hydrophobic, which helps disperse them evenly and keeps the color or sun protection stable and water-resistant. It is a functional component, not a care active. It works on other ingredients, not on skin: improving dispersion, coverage and product durability. On its own it does not hydrate or treat, so it is best read as a formulation aid. It is inert on skin and has no systemic uptake topically, so it can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Tolerance is high: low irritation potential and low allergy risk, fine for sensitive skin. It adds no relevant comedogenic load in normal use.
