What is Bio Glitter?
What is Bio Glitter?
Apart from its physical appearance the bio glitter has different physical properties and is made from different raw materials than glitter. Bio glitter uses natural and plant based materials rather than plastic. It is scientifically proven through ISO14851/2 freshwater testing to quickly biodegrade into harmless substances in the natural environment. Bio glitter is designed to biodegrade quickly and safely in natural water environments.
Is the bio Glitter certified safe?
The bio glitter used in SunDust cosmetics has been lab-tested and certified TÜV OK biodegradable WATER. The certification uses as a simple and clear means of communicating this fact to our customers. OK biodegradable WATER certification cuts through the confusion regarding biodegradable glitter. The ISO 14851/2 tests at the heart of this certification are also specified by ECHA (European Chemicals Agency) determining if material is considered a microplastic
Does Bio Glitter dissolve in water?
Bio glitter does not dissolve in water by itself, it needs bacteria and microorganisms to degrade in the water environment. Once in the water microbes will eat away at the bio glitter, turning it into carbon dioxide, water and biomass. In a microbe-free environment, the bio glitter is completely inert.
No microbes = No micro-degradation
