What the AI looks for in Body Glitters
- Cosmetic grade only
- Use glitter sold for cosmetic use on skin, never craft glitter. Craft glitter can have sharp edges and colourants not permitted on skin or near eyes.
- Eye-area suitability
- Near the eyes, use only glitter whose colourants are approved for the eye area and that is labelled as safe there. Some colourants are permitted on the body but not around the eyes.
- Binder
- Loose glitter needs a glitter glue or gel base; pre-mixed gels don't. Without a binder, loose glitter scatters within minutes.
- Material
- Cellulose-based glitter is biodegradable; standard glitter is PET plastic. Matters for outdoor events and shower drains.
Brands that matter
- NYX Professional Makeup: Widely available cosmetic loose glitters.
- Unicorn Snot: Ready-to-wear glitter gels.
- EcoStardust: Biodegradable plant-based glitter.
- Lemonhead LA: Spacepaste glitter gels popular for festivals.
What to avoid
- Craft or hobby glitter on skin
- Putting body-only glitter near the eyes
- Using eyelash glue or school glue as a glitter adhesive
Questions
How do I get body glitter off?
Lift it with an oil-based cleanser or micellar water on a cotton pad, or press tape against it, before washing with soap.
