Titanium Dioxide (TiO2), also referred to in the PMU industry as TD, is the most important white pigment currently produced commercially and used in a wide range of applications including, inks, textiles, paper, paints, food, and pharmaceuticals. Pure Titanium Dioxide is stable, nonvolatile, largely insoluble and is a common ingredient in cosmetics, including lip products, due to its white pigment and UV-filtering properties.

In the realm of permanent makeup, Titanium Dioxide has long been a staple ingredient due to its opaque and light-reflecting properties. Among its various applications, permanent lip makeup stands out as a sought-after choice for individuals aiming to define and accentuate their lips. Central to the success and safety of such procedures is the careful selection of pigments, with Titanium Dioxide emerging as a crucial ingredient for achieving desirable and enduring results.Jenn Boyd Brow Slayer Microblading Needles - 14.20

pigment formulations, Titanium Dioxide emerges as a valuable asset in the realm of permanent makeup lip procedures, offering a host of benefits ranging from stability and safety to optimal color retention and longevity. By incorporating pigments containing specific Titanium Dioxide, permanent makeup artists can deliver exceptional results that not only enhance the natural beauty of the lips but also provide clients with confidence and satisfaction in their appearance.

So, Why Choose Titanium-Free Lip Colors?

While Titanium Dioxide is commonly used in PMU pigment manufacturing, artists and clients alike may prefer to use Titanium-free lip pigments for permanent makeup.  Titanium-free pigments  provide a choice for individuals with various personal reasons for opting for Titanium-free options. Despite a narrower spectrum of color choices, these pigments address their demand by offering formulations free of Titanium Dioxide.

Titanium-free lip pigments cater to clients seeking alternatives for reasons ranging from personal preference to considerations of translucency and color. While Titanium Dioxide offers opacity and vibrancy in some color formulations with more varied color selections, its presence in permanent makeup pigments may not always be ideal for the client needs and preferences when selecting pigments. For those desiring sheer or transparent finishes, Titanium-free formulations offer the desired translucency, meeting the preferences of clients seeking specific results in permanent makeup procedures.
