Anyway, it doesn't matter if it reflects or absorbs, Titanium Dioxide is a pretty awesome sunscreen agent for two main reasons: it gives a nice broad spectrum coverage and it's highly stable. Its protection is very good between 290 - 350 nm (UVB and UVA II range), and less goodat 350-400 nm (UVA I) range. Regular sized Titanium Dioxide also has a great safetyprofile, it's non-irritating and is pretty much free from any health concerns (like estrogenic effect worries with some chemical filters).

I solemnly swear to research skin care and beauty products, ask my dad (the chemist) for advice, and share those findings with you!

Once absorbed they might form unwanted complexes with proteins and they might promote the formation of evil free radicals. But do not panic, these are concerns under investigation. A 2009 review article about the safety of nanoparticles summarizes this, "to date, in-vivo and in-vitro studies have not demonstrated percutaneous penetration of nanosized particles in titanium dioxide and zinc oxide sunscreens". The English translation is, so far it looks like sunscreenswith nanoparticlesdo stay on the surface of the skin where they should be.

Ever heard of rubbing salt in your wounds? Since this bar (the new formula, at least) includes salt, it might not be the best option for open wounds…or sensitive skin that gets easily irritated or has a broken moisture barrier. Maybe it’s because it’s formulated for dry/sensitive skin, but it doesn’t seem like Aveeno Moisturizing Bar for Dry Skin is strong enough to remove physical sunscreen by itself—you’ll need to rub your skin pretty vigorously if you want to remove any lotion or sunscreen that contains waxes or oils. This makes it somewhat of an ineffective body soap for people who tend to use those types of products. Since I initially bought this soap with hopes that it could replace my travel-size face soap, but it ended up irritating my facial skin, I probably won’t be repurchasing this soap.
