Titanium dioxide is a common ingredient in various consumer goods, including soap, where it acts as a pigment to enhance whiteness and opacity. The safety of titanium dioxide has been a subject of research and regulatory review. According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), titanium dioxide is classified as a Group 2B carcinogen, which means it is "possibly carcinogenic to humans." This classification is based primarily on inhalation studies in animals, where high concentrations of titanium dioxide dust were linked to respiratory tract cancer. However, the form used in consumer products is typically bound within the matrix of the product, significantly reducing any risk of inhalation. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers titanium dioxide safe for use in food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, including soaps, within specified concentrations. There is currently no conclusive evidence that titanium dioxide, when used in soap and not inhaled in powder form, poses significant health risks to consumers. Nonetheless, it is important to remain informed about ongoing research and regulatory updates regarding its safety.
