Abstract
Ultrafine iron-containing rutile type titanium dioxide particles useful for UV shielding cosmetics, pharmaceutical compositions and UV shielding paints are disclosed. They are rutile type crystalline titanium dioxide particles having an average single particle size of 0.01 to 0.1 .mu.m and containing an iron component at a concentration of 1 to 15% by weight as expressed as Fe based on the titanium dioxide in the crystalline structure. They can be produced by using a fine titania sol comprising rutile crystallites as basic particles, precipitating iron oxide or hydrated iron oxide onto the surfaces of the titania particles to effect coating, then firing and grinding.
