A long-wearing sparkle that is easy on your skin and the earth

Our hand-made botanical balm combines with a plastic-free, aluminum-free, truly biodegradable plant-based glitter to provide an enduring sparkle that nourishes your skin.
STARDUST Glitter Stix - silver
GOLD DUST Glitter Stix - gold
Actually Biodegradable and Genuinely Safe
The Bioglitter™ we use is a cellulose-based glitter that decomposes under natural conditions within four weeks and is the only glitter that complies with the new European Union legislation against microplastics.
All other 'eco glitters' - not to mention conventional glitter - still contain microplastics that are toxic to the earth and wildlife. These bio-charlatans only decompose under industrial composting conditions—requiring the impossible collection of every speck of glitter, plus transportation to a specialized facility for processing, to biodegrade. Nonsense.
Unlike these misleading faux-biodegradables, we took great care in choosing a truly plastic-free glitter. It's made mostly of eucalyptus cellulose and will actually biodegrade naturally, no matter where it lands.

Truly good for your skin
Bioglitter™ is made without ANY plastics—so no endocrine disruptive and carcinogenic chemicals.
Wild Rose STARDUST and GOLD DUST Glitter Stix suspend this Bioglitter™ in a rich base of emollient and nourishing sunflower oil and sunflower wax, with a touch of organic cassava and kaolin clay. The cassava aids in the suspension, while the kaolin clay provides skin tonifying properties. Our long-wear formula gently and naturally adheres the Bioglitter™ while hydrating and protecting your skin.
Full Ingredient Breakdown
Glitter Stix are the first products in the Wild Rose line that are not 100% natural - the Bioglitter™ used in the formulas contains about 1-2% synthetic, skin-safe pigments. The use of synthetic pigments is common in makeup formulation as natural sources can contain high levels of heavy metals. However, because this new product is a deviation from our standard formulas, we wanted to pick apart each ingredient found in Glitter Stix.
Helianthus annuus (sunflower) oil* and wax: This highly absorbent emollient softens skin and gently attaches Bioglitter™ to your skin.
Manihot esculenta (cassava) root: One of our favorite starchy roots, cassava helps with Bioglitter™ suspension and reduces any oily feel from the sunflower oil and wax.
Kaolin clay: A natural cosmetic clay used in combination with cassava for suspension and absorption.
Bioglitter™ ingredients:
Rayon (eucalyptus cellulose): This comprises the bulk of the Bioglitter™ and replaces the plastic used in conventional glitter products. M
Glycerin (plant derived): A common skincare ingredient added for texture.
Aqua: Plain old water!
Urea: A naturally occurring skin conditioner.
Shellac: Shellac is a resinous secretion of the insect Laccifer (Tachardia) lacca. Considered a vegetarian animal product, like beeswax.
Mica (naturally sourced only from the U.S. in order to guarantee no child labor): Mica is a type of highly brittle silicate mineral typically used as a colorant.
Synthetic fluorphlogopite: A synthetic mineral used as a bulking agent.
Titanium dioxide: A naturally occurring inorganic compound used as a colorant.
CI 77489 (iron oxide): An inorganic pigment used as a colorant.
CI 77510 (ferric ammonium ferrocyanide): An iron-based inorganic salt used as a colorant.
Tin oxide: An inorganic oxide that is naturally found in mineral form.
