Using Bioglitter in bath bomb and soap making
Which range of Bioglitter can I use for bath bomb and soap making?
In 2018, a new UK legislation came into force banning microbeads and micro plastics from rinse-off cosmetic and bath products. Let’s take a closer look at the ranges of Bioglitter that we stock at Luminosity Glitter to help you on your bath bomb and soap making journey.
The Bioglitter™ Sparkle Range
This sparkly range is 92% plastic free and although there is a tiny amount of plastic used in the manufacturing process, we’re still extremely proud of this bold little beauty.
92% is a huge step in the glitter industry and Bioglitter™ has been through some of the most intense independent testing in the world to prove it biodegrades quickly and safely in a natural environment.
The manufacturer is working extremely hard to make this range 100% plastic free and still keep the bold colour and high shine.
Independently tested by OWS Belgium to ISO14851 / ISO14852 fresh water biodegradability.
As this range still contains a small amount of plastic, this range is not suitable for use in rinse-off bath products, soap making or bath bombs.

The Bioglitter™ Pure and Pure Opal Ranges
These two ranges are 100% plastic free and comply with the current UK legislation and can be used in bath bomb, soap making and other rinse-off products.
The Bioglitter™ Pure Range has a soft shimmer effect and my personal favourite is the Pure Opal Range; this iridescent beauty is the world’s first 100% plastic and aluminium free iridescent glitter.

Finally
If you want to add a little eco sparkle to your bath bombs or soaps, please only use the Pure or Pure Opal Ranges.
They’ll not only add a soft but stunning shimmer to your products but they are fully compliant with legislation for rinse-off products.
