Minke Biodegradable Glitter (Multi Color Combo)

I'm an 8th grader at a public middle school. This year for my science fair project, I conducted an experiment which tested the biodegradability of four different "eco-friendly" glitter brands versus conventional glitter made of plastic. This was an important project to me because plastic glitter used in cosmetics is polluting our environment and is a major contributor to micro-plastics in our waterways. I did five trial runs, using 5 grams of each of the five types of glitter in mason jars filled with filtered fresh water from our local river. I left the glitter samples in the fresh water jars for a period of eight weeks. After this period, I filtered out the remaining glitter from each jar and weighed the glitter samples again, and subtracted this mass from the original 5 grams of glitter that I placed in each jar of water. I would like to congratulate you because your eco-friendly glitter brand, Minke Bio cosmetics, outperformed all of the other eco-friendly glitter brands I tested in biodegradability! Over all trials, Minke Bio Cosmetics glitter biodegraded by an average of 1.88 grams (out of 5 grams) after 8 weeks, while the other types of biodegradable glitter had averages that ranged from 1.3 grams to 1.76 grams. The conventional plastic glitter had an average of only 0.18 grams that biodegraded, which is barely anything at all (a major source of micro plastic pollution!). In conclusion, I would like to say thank you for making a glitter that demonstrates the most effective biodegradability as compared to other tested brands, and for helping to protect our precious environment for my generation and those to come!

Looks great in my homemade soap. The packaging leaves a bit to be desired. The glitter leaks out of the containers no matter how tight you secure the cap. Other than that, it’s a great product.

Really great product. It stays on your skin. The colors are lovely and its biodegradable. I took off a star bc the black doesn't really stick or do anything. Would be better if company did a lovely lavender.

The magenta is not dark maroon at all. It is a light pink color. Very disappointed as I bought this pack because I needed red the most for my upcoming event. I am happy to find bio glitter on Amazon, but there needs to be more selection.

The black isn't very sparkly & the yellow stained my skin, but overall good.

i haven’t used it yet but the ‘bottles’ are very very small. everything else seemed to be good

Worked great with B-bombs

I just received my order yesterday, it was exactly as described and arrived very quickly. I'm planning to use this in bath bombs that I'm making for Christmas gifts.
