BENEFITS OF COSMETIC BIO-GLITTER

 ECOLOGICAL BENEFITS

Bio-glitter® is based on biodegradable film made from trees, primarily eucalyptus, sourced from responsibly managed plantations.

 HEALTH BENEFITS

Bio-glitter® contains low levels of heavy metals

Antimony levels in Bio-glitter® are below the limits of detection, effectively zero. Whereas, cosmetic polyester glitter can have antimony levels as high as 150ppm. The antimony in polyester is a by-product of a catalyst used in the manufacture of polyester.

 COSMETIC BENEFITS

Bio-glitter® feels more comfortable on the skin.

Bio-glitter® is physically 30-40% softer than polyester glitter.

 

Applications

COLOUR COSMETICS

Bioglitter® being globally cosmetic approved makes it suitable for use in most colour cosmetic applications.  Its silky feel makes it a much more comfortably product to wear that traditional plastic glitters.

NAILS

Suitable for use in nail art, UV nail and water based nail varnish applications. Bioglitter® Sparkle has limited solvent resistance so it’s currently not suitable for use in solvent based nail varnish. However, Bioglitter® Pure has solvent resistance and performs well in this application.

EYES

Suitable for use in eye makeup, with heat resistance to over 100oC it is suitable for processing into cosmetic pencils. Less than 150micron rule: The cosmetic industry observes a less than 150micron particle size rule around the eyes, therefore glitter sizes 006 and 004 are suitable for use around eyes according to this rule.

LIPS

Suitable for use in eye makeup, with heat resistance to over 100oC it is suitable for processing into lip stick and lip gloss. The only exception in lip applications is Bioglitter® Sparkle, it contains aluminium which is not permitted for use on lips in the USA (FDA Cosmetic Regulations).
