Dr. Pickart,

Can you tell me the percentage of Titanium dioxide in Day Cover? I'm not a chemist so I'm not even sure if that question can be answered but I know when we buy sunscreens they have percetages of the differnet sunscreens written on the ingredients list. Do you know what the percentage could be in the Day Cover?

Thank you Smiler

It is low, about 1%. This is far lower than strong sunblocks.

Low - about 2%. The other defense are the antioxidants.

The copper peptides may have UV protection properties. Look at the pictures of the keratinocytes at www.suntanscience.com about 5 screens down.
