Anyone who hasn't heard yet should be aware of this :cry:

btw there is no difference between titanium oxide and titanium dioxide.

Be aware of how you handle this stuff, and lay off the sunscreen (irony of ironies it causes cancer!).

If you use a mask you should be fine. Everything in moderation. Some of the tests used way above what anyone of us would be exposed to; even on a daily basis.

What if it is mixed in a soap? Is this the same titanium dioxide pigment powder that I just bought from Bramble Berry?

If you read the article carefully, it states that the risk is inhalation--and even then, at very high levels.

A little panic sounds fine to me if it causes you to be mindful of appropriate precautions. Any good soap maker should know about this stuff.
