I hadn’t realised that Lush make biodegradable glitter, but I’m glad that they do. Apparently it’s made from a mix of agar and mica. Agar is a gelatinous substance which comes from red algae and seaweed (biologists who make cell cultures will be familiar with this stuff), while mica is a shiny, flaky mineral (technically called a phyllosilicate).
In other words, you can wash this glitter away into the sea, and you’ll be adding nothing into the sea that wasn’t there before! Brilliant!
