Safe, Stunning, Static-Free: Why Face Painters Love Glitterazzi Glitter ✨
Whether you’re face painting butterflies on cheeks at a market or creating full-character magic at kids’ parties, one thing’s certain — biodegradable glitter makes it better.
As you know, traditional plastic glitter is loaded with toxins, clings to skin, and ends up polluting our waterways. That’s why more Australian face painters are switching to biodegradable glitter. A choice that’s better for little faces and the planet.
At Glitterazzi Biodegradable Glitter, we create cosmetic-grade, plant-based, microplastic-free glitter mixes and products that are safe, stunning, and designed to break down naturally. No guilt, no irritation, just shimmering joy that disappears when required.
Why Face Painters in Australia Are Choosing Biodegradable, Non-Toxic Glitter
What’s in traditional glitter (and why it’s a problem)
Most commercial glitters are made from PET plastic and metallic coating, which cling to skin and surfaces — and never break down in nature.
What makes Glitterazzi Biodegradable Glitter safer?
Glitterazzi Glitter is made from eucalyptus cellulose. It’s FDA-approved, cosmetic-grade, and breaks down safely in freshwater. No toxins. Just sparkle without compromise.
If your canvas is a face — be it a child or adult — it’s worth knowing what’s in your glitter. Most commercial glitter contains PET plastic and metallic coating, not ideal for sensitive skin nor our planet.
Glitterazzi Glitter's biodegradable glitter is made from eucalyptus cellulose. It’s:
✨ Certified to biodegrade in freshwater (TÜV Austria standard)
✨ Safe for all skin types — even the tiniest party guests
✨ Cosmetic-grade and FDA approved for use on skin
✨ Dermatologically tested, paraben-free, and formulated without known irritants
✨ Loved by face painters, performers, and eco-conscious parents alike
Because glitter should be kind to skin and planet — no rashes, no regrets, no microplastic mess.
How to Apply Glitter for Face Painting (Pro Tips)
What’s the best glitter base for face painting?
Use a natural oil-based balm after the paint is fully dry. Aloe vera gels can smudge water-based face paints, so oil-based balms offer the best hold and finish.
How do I apply Glitterazzi Biodegradable Glitter cleanly?
Pat the glitter on with a flat brush or your fingertip into the balm base. You can also use our pre-made shimmer and glitter balms for mess-free, on-the-go sparkle.
How to Remove Glitter from Skin After Face Painting
Warm water and a soft cloth are all you need — no scrubbing, no leftover sparkles.
Want an extra pro tip? Mix glitter with your brand colours and create “signature sparkle zones” (hello, forehead gems or collarbone fairy dust). Custom mixes available — just ask our founder & glitter alchemist, M.

Why Parents & Face Painters Love Glitter That Doesn’t Linger
Why Glitterazzi Bioglitter won’t stick to everything you own
Plastic glitter clings to everything due to static. Our plant-based glitter doesn’t. Once you rinse or vacuum, it’s gone — no lingering sparkle ghosts.
The science of low-static bioglitter (and why it matters)
Because Glitterazzi Biodegradable Glitter is plastic-free, it doesn’t build up static electricity. That means less mess in your kit, your car, and your client’s life.
Ever had a parent say, "No glitter — it stays around forever"? They’re right... if you're not using genuine biodegradable glitter. Traditional plastic glitter clings to everything: your brushes, your kit bag, your clothes, and your sanity. Its static charge makes it a stage-five clinger, turning carpets, car seats, and corners into long-term glitter hosts.
And as any seasoned face painter knows: less mess equals less stress — for you and for the parents.
Glitterazzi doesn’t do that.
Because Glitterazzi Bioglitter is made from plants, not plastic, it doesn’t build up static. That means it stays where you apply it and actually leaves when you clean it up. Rinse it off skin or vacuum it from a rug and it’s gone — no sparkly ghosts showing up in your fridge or on your forehead three days later.
Parents love that it doesn’t hang around. Face painters love that it doesn’t hijack their kit. And once it washes into nature, Glitterazzi Biodegradable Glitter breaks down into natural elements — carbon dioxide, water, and biomass — with no microplastic residue.
Glitterazzi Bioglitter is the glitter that turns heads on the day, then exits stage left without a trace.
