Frequently Asked Questions

Is biodegradable glitter safe to use on skin?

Yes. Our biodegradable glitter is cosmetic grade and developed for use on the face and body when applied with a suitable body art adhesive.

What makes it biodegradable?

It's made from a plant-based material rather than plastic, so it breaks down naturally in the environment while still giving the same sparkle as our cosmetic glitter.

Do I need adhesive to use it?

Yes. Biodegradable glitter is designed to be applied over a thin layer of Body Art Adhesive so it holds properly and brushes away cleanly afterwards.

Which flake size should I choose?

Fine flakes give a soft, all-over shimmer, mini flakes are the most versatile everyday choice, and chunky flakes give bold, stand-out texture.
