Many glitters contain microplastics which do not break down and end up in the oceans where marine life eats them. Toxins attach to microplastics and, when eaten by fish, travel up the food chain on to our plates!
And worse: fish, turtles and birds can die from a belly full of plastic.
As environmental scientist and festival lover I was just disgusted ... but what to do?
We want glitter that doesn't cause environmental harm or support child labour!
So we developed EcoGlitz®.
EcoGlitz® is handcrafted with certified organic Australian plant ingredients, a food-grade preservative and shimmering crystals. These crystals can be found in nature in a rock called mica. We use synthetic mica because child labour is endemic in the mining of natural mica. Synthetic mica is safe, non-toxic and environmentally friendly. It does not contain any sharp edges and can be used around the eyes and on the lips. Mica crystals are safe pigments that can go to landfill, down a plughole or back to the earth and will not interfere with ecosystems. It's like adding sand to the ocean.

And we found better than we bargained for:
A stunning glamorous festival look or delicate shimmer for every day.
EcoGlitz® looks stunning for a day and a night. When washed off with water, the cream dissolves and nothing is left but dust. No glitter bits in your bed, cloths or on the ground!
