Description and Key Features

Our Dazzling Blue Glitter is a marvel of microscopic engineering. Unlike coarser glitters, its ultra-fine particle size of 0.02 microns ensures a smooth, uniform shimmer that catches and reflects light with unparalleled intensity. This fine consistency allows for a more even distribution and a sophisticated sparkle, rather than a chunky, disjointed effect.

Key features:

Vibrant Blue Hue: A rich and captivating blue color that adds depth and vibrancy to any application.

Ultra-Fine Particles: With a size of just 0.02 microns, these glitters are incredibly fine, providing a seamless shimmer and delicate feel.

Non-Soluble: Designed to maintain its integrity and sparkle when introduced to various mediums, as it does not dissolve. This ensures the glitter remains visible and effective in your formulations.

English Quality: Manufactured in England, ensuring high standards of quality and consistency for reliable performance in your products.

Versatile Applications and Usage Areas

The Dazzling Blue Glitter offers boundless opportunities for creative expression across numerous industries, making it a highly sought-after ingredient for products that demand a touch of magic:

Cosmetics and Personal Care: Eye Makeup: Create stunning eyeshadows, eyeliners, and mascaras that deliver an intense, shimmering blue effect. Its fine particle size makes it ideal for direct application around the eyes for dazzling looks. Lip Products: Incorporate into lip glosses and lipsticks for a sparkling pout that commands attention. Body Glitters & Gels: Formulate body glitters, shimmer lotions, and hair gels for festival looks, special occasions, or just everyday sparkle. The fine particles ensure comfortable wear. Nail Art: A favorite for nail polishes, gel manicures, and nail art designs, providing a brilliant and long-lasting blue shimmer.

Crafts and Arts: Resin Art: Embed in epoxy resin creations like jewelry, coasters, and decorative pieces for a captivating depth and sparkle. Paper Crafts: Adorn greeting cards, scrapbooking pages, and invitations with shimmering blue accents. It can be sprinkled on wet glue or mixed with various mediums. Textile Decoration: Apply to fabrics for dazzling apparel, accessories, or home decor items. Use with fabric glues or specialized textile mediums. Candle Making: While not mixed directly into the wax to avoid clogging wicks, it can be applied to the exterior of finished candles or to the wax pools of container candles for a shimmering effect when lit. Slime & Dough: An extremely popular addition to homemade slime and playdough for children's crafts, adding a fun, sparkling element.

Decorative Home Items: Ornaments & Decor: Embellish Christmas ornaments, seasonal decorations, or other home accents for a festive or elegant touch. Party Supplies: Enhance party favors, balloons, and table centerpieces for birthdays, celebrations, or themed events.

When working with Dazzling Blue Glitter, remember that its non-soluble nature means it will suspend in liquids rather than dissolve, requiring proper mixing and potential binding agents in certain applications to ensure even distribution and adhesion. Its remarkable versatility makes it an essential component for creators looking to add a captivating blue sparkle to their diverse range of products.

Cosmetic Recipe: "Deep Ocean" Shimmer Body Gel

Create a refreshing and dazzling shimmer body gel that will leave your skin glowing with a beautiful blue sparkle, perfect for special occasions or everyday radiance.

Instructions for Preparation:

Sanitization: Thoroughly sanitize all your equipment (beakers, stirring rods, containers) using isopropyl alcohol. Allow everything to air dry completely.

Hydrate Carbomer (Phase A & B part 1): In a clean beaker, slowly sprinkle the Carbomer powder over the surface of the distilled water. Do not stir immediately. Let it sit undisturbed for at least 15-30 minutes to fully hydrate. You'll notice the powder absorbing water and forming a slightly cloudy, swollen mixture. Compare tones with Glitter Blue 50 g to build layered effects. Wholesale formats appear in the Glitter Wholesale section.

Add Glycerin (Phase A & B part 2): Gently add the glycerin to the hydrated Carbomer mixture. Stir very slowly to incorporate, trying to avoid creating too many air bubbles.

Add Glitter (Phase B part 3): Now, gently add the Dazzling Blue Glitter to the mixture. Stir slowly and consistently to ensure the glitter is evenly suspended. Since glitter is non-soluble, you'll need constant, gentle stirring to prevent it from settling.

Neutralize Carbomer (Phase C part 1): Slowly add your chosen neutralizing agent (diluted TEA or NaOH solution) drop by drop to the mixture while stirring. As you add the neutralizer, you will observe the mixture instantly thickening and forming a clear gel. Continue adding until your desired gel consistency is achieved (typically around pH 5.5-6.5 for skin products). Check pH if you have a meter.

Add Preservative & Fragrance (Phase C part 2): Once the gel has formed and is at the desired consistency, add your broad-spectrum preservative and optional fragrance oil. Stir thoroughly for several minutes to ensure even distribution.

Final Transfer: Carefully transfer the finished shimmer body gel into a clean, sterile pump bottle or jar.

Recommendations for Application and Use:

Optimal Glitter Inclusion: A 1-3% inclusion rate of Dazzling Blue Glitter provides a significant and beautiful sparkle. For a more subtle effect, use less; for an intense shimmer, use more, but be mindful of the gel's texture.

Even Suspension: Since the glitter is non-soluble, always shake or gently stir the product before each use to ensure the glitter is evenly dispersed throughout the gel.

Application: Apply a small amount of the shimmer body gel to clean, dry skin on your arms, legs, décolletage, or anywhere you desire a dazzling blue glow.

Light Test: The effect of the glitter will be most pronounced under direct light (sunlight or artificial light).

Storage: Store the finished body gel in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain its stability and prevent any potential fading of the glitter.

Particle Size Consideration: The 0.02 micron size of this glitter is very fine and generally considered safe for cosmetic use, but always ensure your chosen glitter is specified as "cosmetic grade" if it will be applied to the skin.

Packaging: Opt for clear or translucent packaging to showcase the beautiful suspended blue glitter.
