Sustainable Sparkle

If you’re looking to shimmer this holiday season without damaging the environment, opt for Bioglitter, a plant-derived product certified to be biodegradable in freshwater environments. Regular glitter is made up of pieces of microplastic that are toxic not only for the environment, but also our bodies. If you can’t find the brand in time for your next outing, look for biodegradable glitter, and avoid those that are cellulose-based, or contain modified regenerated cellulose or mica, which can also cause ecological damage to lakes and rivers.
