Identify the real BioGlitter: Don't harm yourself or the environment

Plastic Glitter has a dark side, it is not as shiny as you think. It is time to make a change with Bio-Glitter and learn the importance of a biodegradability certification to help the environment, flora, fauna, and your skin as well.

It is not a secret how much the environment is affected by non-eco-friendly materials. Depending on the product, it could take 100 years before they degrade in a natural way. During this time it can wreak havoc on our animals, and flora. 

People are not left behind when talking about Glitter. We see ourselves exposed to this toxic product when using make-up, toys, decoration, school materials, arts, and crafts. For this reason, every day we have new products made from materials that can be recycled by the action of the environment, those are well known as ‘Biodegradable’.

New call-to-action

Why is it important to use products with a Certification of Biodegradability?

There are a lot of companies that offer premium products and services claiming to be eco-friendly and plastic-free. Being mostly fake and ending up spreading microplastics into the environment.

To understand and learn how not to be fooled, other than words these companies should have certificates. They should be willing to show you that their products are qualified through testing to be Biodegradable. This is a way to identify its authenticity.

Bio-Glitter has been tested by TÜV which grants the certification of OK Biodegradable WATER, so it biodegrades in any natural Environment! This means that it doesn’t contain microplastics, being safe to use in cosmetics, body art, and for kids to play or make crafts. Also, it doesn’t harm any living creature in the making process (or wasting one). Bio-Glitter has also won:

  • Gold for ‘innovation’ at In-Cosmetics Global 2017 in London, and 2018 in Amsterdam.

  • The ‘Green and Sustainability’ category at PCHI Fountain Awards 2019 in China.

The certifications and qualifications are objective and measured through qualified biodegradability tests, verifying whether a product has microplastics or not. The main indicator to verify glitter containing microplastics is that ‘if they don’t have an OK Biodegradable WATER certificate, it is probably made of plastic or ingredients that do not biodegrade in nature (for instance PLA or non-naturally biodegradable cellulose’
