As part of its newly unveiled summer releases, Sleek MakeUp unveiled a series of biodegradable glitter products. Even though many glitter products on the market seem harmless and fun, the reality is that most are made from plastic, which ultimately has the potential to be harmful to the environment.
The Glitterfest products from Sleek MakeUp are offered in Gold, Copper, Pink, Silver and Blue. While the brand advises that some shades are best avoided around the sensitive lip or eye areas, the products can be applied to the skin after using a balm or a skin-safe gel.
Since many environmental experts agree that glitter directly threatens marine life in particular, this biodegradable glitter offers consumers a chance to sparkle while still caring for the environment.
