Cosmetic Bioglitter® SPARKLE
Metallic effect glitter
Cosmetic Bioglitter® SPARKLE represents an exclusive selection of biodegradable glitter specially developed for use in loose and formulated cosmetic products such as rinses, leave-on products and make-up. Compared to conventional plastic metal glitter, these vibrant metallic glitters offer a sustainable solution made from natural materials and are ideal for incorporation into oil- and wax-based systems.
Cosmetic Bioglitter® PURE
Opal, metallic & matte effects
Aluminium-free glitter
Cosmetic Bioglitter® PURE was first introduced in 2019 and was the world’s first glitter series to receive the TÜV “OK Biodegradable WATER” certificate. This certification represents the highest level of biodegradability in fresh water. With a completely new approach, Bioglitter® has succeeded in creating dazzling effects that cannot be achieved with conventional plastic glitter.
The product line includes various versions, including Opal with a pearlescent effect, Vivid with an intense metallic sheen and Opaque with a matt finish.
Cosmetic Bioglitter® HOLO
Glitter with holographic effect
Cosmetic Bioglitter® HOLO creates a spectacular holographic effect.
Thanks to an innovative manufacturing process, the light is split into its individual colour components, creating a brilliant rainbow effect that produces a fascinating play of colours. They are particularly effective in direct, non-diffused light – such as sunlight or LED lighting – where they unfold their full effect and create a fascinating kaleidoscope of dazzling colours.
