Daily supplementation with this gel material has been reported to be effective against stroke, heart attacks, leukemia, anemia, hypertension, AIDS, radiation burns, and digestive disorders, as well as serving as a beneficial component in cosmetic products.
Although the RIs of calcium carbonate, talc, and silica are around 1.5 1.7, the RI of titanium dioxide, a component of many cosmetic powders including one of the products tested in this study (nanopowder K), is 2.741.
Chitosan is compatible with many biologically active components incorporated in cosmetic product composition (Ravi Kumar 2000).
