   How sure we are

   Low confidence. The listing sits on a record that merges several substances and isn't confirmed for this exact name.

3. Diossido Di TitanioMinor concernPermitted white pigment and UV filter. Inhaled titanium dioxide powder is a suspected carcinogen, so the EU restricts it in loose face powders and hair sprays and bars it from any product that could be breathed in; in creams, toothpaste and other non-sprayed products those limits do not come into play.
