Gene Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 It is the same.I have 15.6 oz water dispersable TD for $6 I was going to put in the classy's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayearthgrown Posted March 28, 2006 Author Share Posted March 28, 2006 I have a pound of the one for soap, I ordered it from Angie at the herbarie and she said they were different because the one you use for soap will leave a white paste like on the skin. It will look like the stuff you see on the life guards nose at the beach. I was told there is a micronized titanium dioxide used for lotions. This is all knew to me. I just started making lotions. Thanks anyway for the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siberia Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 ahhh....I read your query earlier and wondered if you were asking about micronized TD. This is not a simple problem to solve. There are some controversies relating to micronized TD. I think my first question is what is the purpose of your wanting to use TD in your formula?

kayearthgrown Posted March 28, 2006 Author Share Posted March 28, 2006 I need it in my lotions because the malibu tubes I use is letting the light turn my lotions yellow. I have had a time trying to figure this out. I know it is the light because it only turns on the side facing the light. I was told it is oxidizing so if I put the titanium dioxide in there it will help block the light. I am going to try the regular TD and see what happens. I only have to use such a small amout it probably wont make a difference as far as how my lotions feel. I dont think it will leave a white residue. The only way I will know is to TRY. So my question now is do I add it to the oil phase or the water ? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Depends if you have oil soluable td or water soluable td. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryann Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I don't make lotion, I use a base and have the same problem with certain FOs, is this what your talking about or is it something special w/ homemade bases? If its the FO you can use http://www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com/StoreCategory.aspx?CategoryID=1005&CategoryName=Vanilla+Browning+Neutralizer. If this is the problem will TD help?? I know when I dye my lotions they still turn brown if I don't use a stabilizer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
