🌍 The Plastic Problem: Why It’s Time to Rethink Glitter

Let’s talk plastic.

It’s everywhere—on our beaches, in our oceans, in our skincare, and even in our glitter. Yup, that sparkle you love at festivals, parties, and in your makeup bag? Traditional glitter is microplastic in disguise. And while it may shimmer for a moment, it lingers in the environment for centuries.

What is the real cost of that sparkle—and why choosing Bioglitter is a simple yet powerful way to be part of the solution.

✨ What’s the Problem with Plastic Glitter?

Plastic glitter is made from sheets of plastic film coated with aluminum and dyes. Once used, it easily flakes off and ends up in our water systems. Because it’s so tiny (often less than 5mm), it’s classified as a microplastic—and these are incredibly hard to remove from the environment.

Microplastics:

• Are mistaken for food by marine life 🐟

• Carry harmful toxins

• Break down into even smaller particles (nanoplastics)

• Are now being found in human blood and placentas 😱

It’s not just a cosmetic problem—it’s a global environmental health crisis.

💚 There Is a Better Way: Bioglitter®

At Today Glitter, we only carry Bioglitter®, the world’s only certified biodegradable glitter compliant with the European ban on microplastics.

This is not your average “eco” glitter. Many brands claim to be biodegradable, but Bioglitter is:

• ✅ Certified to biodegrade in natural environments like freshwater

• 🌱 Made from plant-based film, not plastic

• 🧪 Backed by OECD 301 testing standards and over 97% bio-based (according to carbon dating!)

This means that when you sparkle with Bioglitter, you’re not leaving plastic behind.

💫 Why This Matters to Me

I started @ecoglitterbynadia to educate others and show how easy it is to sparkle responsibly. We can have fun, feel glamorous, and express ourselves without harming the planet.

My mission is to help people—especially festival-goers, beauty lovers, and makers—switch from plastic glitter to Bioglitter. It’s such a small change, but it sends a big message: I care. About the ocean. About my skin. About the next generation.
