BUY BIO GLITTER FOR A SPARKLING, COLORFUL WORLD WITHOUT PLASTIC
Our Bioglitter creates the same sparkling effect as conventional glitter, but unlike conventional glitter, it is biodegradable and plastic-free (in accordance with EU Regulation 2023/55).
Our glitter decomposes by 90% after just 56 days in the environment. So it’s no problem if a little gets misplaced while applying makeup, at a festival, or at a party. You can also wash off our Bioglitter after use without any problem.
EASY APPLICATION
Step 1: Apply our glitter glue or some aloe vera gel to an area of your face.
Step 2: Sprinkle on the glitter in your favorite color and gently pat it down with your fingers. For more precise application, use one of our glitter brushes.
Et voilà—your glitter makeup is ready. Our BIOGLITTER lasts for several hours and feels pleasant on your skin.
EASY CLEANING
Our bio glitter is biodegradable and plastic-free (in accordance with EU Regulation 2023/55). Water and soap, or our makeup removal pads with a cleansing milk or cleansing oil, are sufficient for removal.
Unlike conventional plastic glitter, our bio glitter consists mainly of cellulose and may be rinsed into the wastewater. We create products that not only look good but also feel right. For you and the planet.
BIRKENSPANNER STANDS FOR A WORLD WHERE GLITTER AND SUSTAINABILITY ARE NO LONGER CONTRADICTORY.
HOW IT'S MADE?
Cellulose
Cellulose is the main component of plant cell walls and, at the same time, the most common organic compound in the world. What gives plants stability forms the basis for our Bioglitter. We use cellulose from eucalyptus for this purpose. This produces the transparent material from which our glitter is later made.
MINERALS
For the various luminous colors of our Bioglitter, we use natural and synthetic minerals and pigments, process them into powder, and mix them with resin before applying them to the cellulose film.
NATURHARZ
To avoid using synthetic adhesives, we currently use shellac - a natural resin. Shellac is not always vegan yet. But stay tuned: Very soon, all our Bio Glitter will be vegan thanks to a new formula.

To us, biodegradable glitter is plastic-free and biodegradable. It may enter wastewater and does not cause environmental damage.
Our BIRKENSPANNER biodegradable glitter meets these requirements in accordance with EU Regulation 2023/55. It consists of cellulose from European eucalyptus plantations, as well as minerals and pigments for coloring.
To fix the colors onto the cellulose film, we use natural resin (shellac).
Conventional glitter is usually made from tiny plastic particles that can enter the environment as microplastics after use. Once released, these particles can remain for many years and pollute waterways, soils and natural habitats.
Since the introduction of the EU microplastics restriction, conventional plastic glitter may no longer be newly placed on the EU market. Existing stocks may still be sold, but in the long term, plastic glitter is becoming a thing of the past.
BIRKENSPANNER biodegradable glitter is the alternative for anyone who doesn’t want to choose between fun and responsibility. In accordance with current EU requirements, it is plastic-free and biodegradable - without compromising on sparkle.
Whether for festivals, body painting, parties, birthdays, carnival, events, or creative projects: with biodegradable glitter, you can enjoy sparkling moments while also making a statement for a more conscious approach to our environment.
Our natural glitter primer is the ideal base for your biodegradable glitter. The nourishing formula made from shea butter and natural oils not only ensures optimal hold, but also pampers your skin. This makes the glitter easy to apply and keeps it reliably in place even at festivals, carnival, or long event days.
Although aloe vera gel or petroleum jelly can also be used, they do not provide the same adhesive strength, wearing comfort, or nourishing properties as our specially developed primer. For long-lasting sparkle and a pleasant feeling on the skin, we therefore recommend our glitter primer.
Our biodegradable glitter is made from cellulose sourced from sustainably managed eucalyptus plantations in Europe. This renewable raw material is used to create a smooth, transparent film that forms the basis for the distinctive glitter effect.
We use carefully selected pigments and minerals for the brilliant colors. These are combined with natural resin and applied to the cellulose film. This creates high-quality biodegradable glitter with an intense sparkle.
Our biodegradable glitter is made entirely in Germany. Regional production keeps transport routes short, ensures high quality standards, reduces unnecessary environmental impact, and supports local jobs.
