Solaveil CTP1-PW-(MV) is Croda’s answer to the clean beauty formulator’s most persistent challenge: how to deliver serious, reliable UV protection using a mineral filter that actually looks good on skin. This non-nano Titanium Dioxide powder — coated with Aluminum Stearate and Alumina for enhanced dispersion and stability — provides effective UVB protection and partial UVA shielding while significantly reducing the chalky white cast that has historically made TiO₂ difficult to use in elegant, wearable formulations.
Its optimized particle size and surface treatment make it noticeably easier to work with than standard TiO₂ grades — it disperses more uniformly in oil phases, integrates smoothly into emulsions, and delivers a more transparent, skin-flattering finish. For formulators building mineral sunscreens, SPF moisturizers, or tinted BB/CC creams that need to meet non-nano and clean beauty standards without sacrificing cosmetic elegance, this is the grade to reach for. Pair it with Solaveil MZP7-PW (Zinc Oxide) for complete broad-spectrum UVA + UVB coverage.

Formulation Tips
Pre-disperse in the oil phase using high-shear mixing for the most uniform, transparent result — this is the single most important step for achieving good cosmetic elegance with TiO₂. Combine with Solaveil MZP7-PW (Zinc Oxide) to achieve full broad-spectrum UVA + UVB coverage. Use appropriate emulsifiers and stabilizers to maintain uniform dispersion in the final emulsion. Add antioxidants such as Vitamin E (Tocopherol) or Ascorbyl Palmitate to enhance overall photoprotection and formulation stability.
