Plant-cellulose material options for buyer qualification. Biodegradability, compostability, plastic-content, freshwater, marine, and EU microplastics conclusions require separate SKU-specific evidence.
With the enactment of Commission Regulation (EU) 2023/2055 restricting synthetic polymer microparticles, global brands and cosmetics formulators must eliminate non-biodegradable PET glitters from rinse-off and leave-on products. MLM Cosmetic is an industry pioneer in commercial plant-cellulose biodegradable glitter production.
Our eco-glitter is synthesized from sustainably managed, FSC-audited source eucalyptus wood pulp cellulose. It breaks down naturally in freshwater, marine environments, soil, and home compost into water, carbon dioxide, and natural biomass without leaving microplastic residues, all while providing stunning metallic, iridescent, and holographic brilliance.
Select the optimal micron cut size for your formulation viscosity, spray tip nozzle, or printing screen mesh.
| Cut Size (Inch) | Micron (μm) | Metric (mm) | Mesh / Application Tip | Optics & Feel | Recommended Use Cases |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1/500" (0.002") | 50 μm | 0.05 mm | 300+ Mesh | Silky water-dispersible cloud shimmer, creates pearlescent bath water swirl | Bath soak powders, luxury body washes, shimmering bubble baths |
| 1/256" (0.004") | 100 μm | 0.10 mm | 140 Mesh | Fine sparkling luster with immediate rinse-off down standard drains | Sugar & coffee body scrubs, shaving creams, face cleansers |
| 1/128" (0.008") | 200 μm | 0.20 mm | 70 Mesh | Brilliant eco-sparkle for surface dusting and explosive bath bomb fizz bursts | Pressed bath bombs, shower steamers, whipped soap butter |
| 1/64" to 1/24" (0.4mm–1.0mm) | 400μm – 1000μm | 0.4 – 1.0 mm | Chunky Flakes | Bold eco-statement flakes, embedded gems in transparent soap bars | Melt & pour glycerin soaps, eco festival body pastes, cold process soaps |

Expert answers from our chemical engineers and regulatory specialists.
No. The glitter remains intact during application and wash-off, providing high visual sparkle. Biodegradation begins when the flakes reach natural wastewater, rivers, and compost environments where microbial action breaks down the plant cellulose.
Yes! Our biodegradable cellulose glitters meet all exemption criteria under EU Regulation 2023/2055 for biodegradable polymers, allowing unrestricted sale and use across the European Union.
Yes, our bio-glitters are stable in cold process soap batters with pH up to 10. For high-alkaline formulations, we recommend our specialized high-pH bio-series.
Yes. Cellulose fibers are naturally 30% to 40% softer and more flexible than rigid polyester (PET), making it ideal for delicate skin, face washes, and children’s bath products.
