How long does biodegradable glitter take to degrade? 

In order to find out how long biodegradable glitter takes to biodegrade, it is important to check if indeed biodegrades in nature. 

• Bioglitter Sparkle (Today Glitter sparkle): 87% in just 30 days
• Bioglitter Pure (Today Glitter No-plastic): 92% in just 30 days

There are so many fake ‘Eco-Glitters’ in the market. It is important to highlight that fake biodegradable glitter does not decompose in nature:

• Compostable and PLA glitter do not decompose in nature.
• That glitter is made of cellulose, it does not mean it will biodegrade in nature.

In order to face the increasing demand of more environmentally friendly glitters, many suppliers are marketing so-called biodegradable products that DO NOT biodegrade in nature. Time will sort everything out and it is just a matter of time before these types of glitter are debunked. Make sure to ask for biodegradability report. If it biodegrades at 50 celsius (122 fahrenheit)  those are compostable temperatures not found in regular basis in natural environment

A Safe Eco-Glitter in the US

• The US government is, as many other government entities all around the world, taking actions to tackle the plastic pollution problem threatening to kill marine life in our planet.
• That is why it approved the Microbead Free Waters Act in 2015, which prohibits the manufacturing, packaging, and distribution of rinse-off cosmetics containing micro-plastics.
• This regulation is applicable to cosmetics and non-prescription drugs.
• As glitter can be considered as a cosmetic and – in fact – many times is used as one, this legislation directly affects the glitter industry, which now needs to switch from plastics to biodegradable materials to survive in the market.
• With that in mind, Blue Sun International is convinced that by being the exclusive reseller of the Bioglitter products, the confidence in our company can only grow as other providers try to fool customers with false claims about fake biodegradability. 
• All of our products are proved to be harmless for the environment and for the consumer’s body.
