Traditional glitter is made of plastic and becomes microplastics that may become harmful to marine life. Klee Naturals' ocean-safe biodegradable glitter is made of plant-based cellulose and natural colorants that biodegrades naturally into harmless substances. No artificial dyes are used in the product. The glitter gel can be applied to the face, body and hair to add some fun (and safe) sparkles. Long lasting on the skin, not in the ocean.
