Biodegradable Glitter Compliance Declaration – Nurture Handmade
At Nurture Handmade, we’re proud to offer a truly eco-conscious alternative to conventional glitter. Our biodegradable glitter is designed with both performance and environmental responsibility in mind, helping to reduce microplastic pollution without compromising on sparkle.
Made in the USA with Premium Standards
We source all of our biodegradable glitter exclusively from manufacturers in the United States. This allows us to ensure the highest levels of purity, quality control, and compliance with cosmetic and environmental safety standards. By working only with trusted domestic suppliers, we maintain consistent product integrity and reduce the carbon footprint associated with overseas sourcing.
What Makes It Biodegradable?
Our glitter is made from precision-cut flakes of a cellulose-based biopolymer film, derived from sustainably sourced hardwoods - primarily eucalyptus. This plant-based film replaces the polyester used in traditional glitter, offering a biodegradable and compostable alternative that breaks down naturally in the environment into harmless substances.
Each glitter flake is:
- Base: Made from renewable cellulose film
- Reflective Layer: Coated with a thin layer of aluminum for sparkle
- Color: Finished with a cosmetic-grade pigment for vibrant, safe color
This multi-layer construction is engineered for safety, performance, and minimal environmental impact. Unlike plastic-based glitters that contribute to long-lasting microplastic contamination, our glitter naturally degrades in soil, freshwater, and marine environments under the right conditions.
Eco-Friendly and Ethically Made
Our biodegradable glitter is:
- Free from PET or plastic-based films
- Non-toxic and cosmetic safe
- Made using plant-derived, renewable materials
- Produced in the USA for verified quality and sustainability
Compliance and Sustainability Commitment
Nurture Handmade’s biodegradable glitter is an environmentally responsible choice developed to address the growing concern over glitter-related microplastic pollution. It is currently the only glitter on the market that combines cosmetic safety with true biodegradability, offering a sustainable solution for soap makers and crafters.
