The short answer
Mineral filters are the ones most often recommended during pregnancy.
On labels you may see it as: mineral sunscreen, CI 77891.
Context
What Titanium Dioxide does
It scatters and absorbs UV, with peak protection in the UVB and short-UVA range.
It is usually paired with zinc oxide or organic filters to close the long-UVA gap and reach a credible broad-spectrum rating.
Typical use on shelf: 2%–15% in mineral sunscreens and tinted bases..
Watch-outs
What to keep in mind
- White cast, again — more chalky than zinc in many bases.
- Alone it is not a strong UVA filter; check the PA rating or UVA circle.

Check your whole routine, not one ingredient
One ingredient rarely decides anything. Paste the full list from each product you use into the pregnancy ingredient checker and take the flags to your clinician. The full write-up on Titanium Dioxide — what it does, irritation, pore-clogging risk — is on the Titanium Dioxide explainer.
