Titanium dioxide-free Capsule

Titanium Dioxide-Free Capsules: A Clean-Label Alternative

Introduction
Titanium dioxide (TiO₂)-free capsules are an innovative solution for brands seeking clean-label, natural, and safer alternatives to traditional capsules that use TiO₂ as an opacifier or whitening agent. With increasing regulatory scrutiny and consumer demand for transparency, TiO₂-free capsules provide a compliant and health-conscious option for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and supplement applications.

Key Features & Benefits

1. No Titanium Dioxide (E171)

• Eliminates regulatory concerns: TiO₂ is banned in food products in the EU (2022) and faces restrictions in other regions.
• Consumer safety: Avoids potential health debates around nanoparticle risks.

2. Natural Opacifiers & Alternatives

• Uses plant-based whitening agents (e.g., calcium carbonate, starch derivatives) or mineral-based alternatives (e.g., natural clays).
• Maintains a bright, opaque appearance without synthetic additives.

3. Compliance & Certifications

• EU-compliant: Meets EFSA and EU Commission regulations (TiO₂ banned in food, including supplements).
• Clean-label friendly: Non-GMO, allergen-free, and suitable for vegan/vegetarian capsules (if HPMC or pullulan-based).

4. Performance & Stability

• Similar dissolution and encapsulation efficiency as TiO₂ capsules.
• Resistant to moisture and oxidation, ensuring product shelf life.

5. Applications

• Pharmaceuticals: Tablets, probiotics, and delayed-release formulations.
• Nutraceuticals: Vitamins, herbal supplements, and powdered extracts.
• Specialty supplements: CBD, melatonin, and other sensitive actives.
