Titanium dioxide is a common ingredient in foundation because of its high refractive index, which means it helps scatter visible light, thus providing a brightening effect on the skin. Moreover, it gives the foundation its opaqueness and provides better coverage. It also adds UV protection qualities, acting naturally as a sunblock.

Therefore, it is recommended to use foundation products carefully, especially in powder form.
