Titanium Dioxide

[selah925]

Can Titanium Dioxide go "bad" or "rancid" or somehow effect the quality of CP Soap? I have some titanium dioxide from 2009, that I started to use the other day, then I wasn't sure about it. My thought is that it shouldn't be any trouble at all, but I thought I'd see if anyone knew for sure. Thanks!

I just bought some titanium dioxide but haven't used it yet because I'm not sure how to use it. Do I use it like I would my oxides or pigments?

I had heard that using titanium dioxide results in a less moisturizing bar. I've added it to my last two batches but haven't tried it yet. Just add it to the soap and mix it in.

I add it to the melted oils right before I add the lye / water solution.

Be careful how much you add as I just learned that adding too much will make your bar feel chalky! :cry:

I add mine to the cooled off lye water since mine is water soluble.

I add it to a tiny amount of water (1 tsp of TD to 1 tsp water), stir completely, then pour that into my soap mixture after the lye water has been added. It doesn't go bad. My oil soluable one is maybe 7 years old now!!
