TodayGlitter, Made with Bioglitter™: The Sparkling Solution to Microplastic Pollution

Shimmer sustainably and protect our planet

In a world where every choice counts towards the health of our planet, even the smallest decisions can make a significant impact. Glitter—the tiny, sparkling particles that add a touch of magic to our lives—has a dark side when it comes to environmental sustainability. Traditional plastic glitter contributes to microplastic pollution, posing a threat to our ecosystems, wildlife, and even our own health. But there's a bright, shimmering light at the end of the tunnel: Bioglitter™.

The Hidden Cost of Traditional Glitter

For years, glitter has been a staple in cosmetics, arts and crafts, and festive decorations. However, conventional glitter is made from microplastics—tiny plastic particles less than 5mm in size—that do not biodegrade. These particles find their way into our oceans and rivers, harming marine life and entering the food chain. The accumulation of microplastics disrupts ecosystems and poses potential health risks to animals and humans alike.

Europe Takes a Stand Against Microplastics

Recognizing the urgent need to address microplastic pollution, the European Union has enacted new legislation banning intentionally added microplastics in products. This groundbreaking law aims to reduce environmental damage and protect biodiversity. Companies are now required to eliminate microplastics from their products or face legal consequences, including fines and product bans.

Bioglitter™: A Sustainable Sparkle

Enter Bioglitter™, the world's leading eco-friendly glitter brand that has achieved compliance with the new European microplastics law. Here's why this is a game-changer:

• Biodegradable: Bioglitter™ is crafted from plant-based materials that biodegrade naturally, leaving no harmful residues in the environment. Its eco-friendly credentials are verified by third-party testing, including the OECD 301B biodegradability test and TÜV Austria's 'OK biodegradable WATER' certification.

  Understanding the Certifications:

  • OECD 301B Test: An internationally recognized method that measures the biodegradability of substances in water. Bioglitter™ passing this test means it effectively breaks down in aquatic environments. All ingredients in Bioglitter were tested in order to pass the requirements of the new EU legislation against microplastics. 
  • TÜV Austria's 'OK biodegradable WATER': This certification assures that Bioglitter™ will biodegrade in natural, freshwater environments, minimizing its impact on rivers, lakes, and other bodies of water. 

• Cosmetic Safe: Bioglitter™ is safe for use in cosmetics, appealing to those passionate about natural products, clean beauty, and environmental sustainability. It resonates with individuals concerned about climate change and who prioritize eco-friendly choices in their daily lives.

• Indistinguishable Shine: Offers the same captivating sparkle as traditional glitter without the environmental guilt.
