Skin-loving Ingredients
This body glitter recipe uses our Aloe Gel Base as its foundation. Our aloe gel base is extremely hydrating for the skin, so the body glitter gel won’t dry the skin. Instead, it will leave the skin feeling nourished and supple. Made with aloe vera leaf juice and glycerine, the non-greasy formula is gluten-free, cruelty-free, alcohol free, paraben-free, and safe on the face. If you use a cosmetic-grade glitter, this recipe can be marketed for the body, hair, and face.
Application
Apply the body glitter with your hand, finger, or brush. Instruct customers to allow the product to dry on the skin for about 2 minutes. Depending on your concentration of glitter, coverage can range from a light veil of shimmer to an intense concentration of glitter. Adjust your pricing according to the percentage of glitter concentration.
Easy To Remove
Our body glitter recipe is easy to wash off with soap and water. This recipe is unique because it doesn’t include adhesives, so removal is easy. For customers who want an extra strong hold on the glitter, instruct them to use a setting spray or hair spray to really lock in the glitter.
