Kid Friendly Glitter is Biodegradable Glitter

Biodegradable Glitter: The Better Glitter Choice for Kids

Are you a parent, teacher, carer, performer, party host, or the magical adult who always brings the craft box? If you work with children in any way, here’s one sparkle truth you need to know:

Plastic glitter isn’t great for kids.

It may look fun, but traditional plastic glitter can contain heavy metals, microplastics, and toxic compounds that don’t belong anywhere near little faces, mouths, or delicate skin. That’s where Glitterazzi’s biodegradable glitter — made with certified Bioglitter™ — comes in.

Why You Should Choose Biodegradable Glitter for your Kids?

At Glitterazzi, we use only Bioglitter™, because it’s not just better for the planet — it’s better for people, especially children. We’re proud to offer a kid-friendly glitter that’s:

• Non-toxic and antimony-free

• Free from heavy metals and harmful plastic residues

• Made from ethically sourced, plant-based materials

• Soft and gentle on skin — 30-40% softer than traditional polyester glitter

• Compliant with global cosmetic regulations, including EC 1223/2009 and FDA Title 21 CFR

Glitterazzi Biodegradable Glitter is cosmetic-grade and designed for use on faces — but it’s perfect for craft time, slime, and sensory play too. Because it’s tested for facial use, you can feel confident knowing it’s gentle enough for the skin on hands, arms, and little bodies during all kinds of glitter play.

What Makes Traditional Glitter Unsafe for Children?

Most commercial glitter is made from polyester plastic (PET) and contains:

• Up to 150ppm of antimony, a metal used as a flame retardant that can irritate eyes and skin

• Uncontrolled levels in non-cosmetic glitter — far higher and not monitored

• Microplastics that never biodegrade, contaminating water, soil, and food chains

Kids touch (and eat) everything. They rub their eyes. They put things in their mouths. So if you wouldn’t put plastic flakes in their lunchbox, why put it on their skin?

Why Glitterazzi Bioglitter is a Safer Glitter Option for Kids

• The total antimony level in Glitterazzi Bioglitter is <0.5ppm — the lowest measurable limit.

• No antimony is used in the production of our glitter — unlike plastic glitter.

• It’s independently tested using Inductively Coupled Argon Plasma Spectrometry (ICP-MS).

This means our biodegradable glitter is free from the harshest additives, and is a safer, child-friendly glitter for sensitive skin — even when used during imaginative play, in playdough, or on craft projects.

Glitterazzi Bioglitter is Good for the Planet and for Little Humans

Our kid-safe glitter doesn’t just make art class or face paint sparkle — it’s also:

• Biodegradable in fresh water and soil

• Breaks down quickly without leaving behind microplastic pollutants

• Made to vanish, not linger in the environment or your home

Because let’s be real — if it’s going to end up in the bath, garden, or sandpit, it should be something the Earth can handle.

Why Parents, Teachers, and Creatives Choose Glitterazzi

We offer a wide range of biodegradable glitter products specifically designed for use on the face and body — but perfect for crafts, sensory bins, and sparkly dress-up play too. It’s:
