Product Description and Key Features
This Holographic Gold Glitter is made from high-quality, non-toxic polymer films, offering superior solvent resistance and stability across various cosmetic and crafting bases.

Its holographic properties mean the color shifts dramatically with movement, transitioning from deep gold to flashes of green, blue, and red.

-
Extreme Sparkle: Provides an intense, multi-dimensional shimmer due to the combination of the holographic effect and the hexagon shape.
-
Solvent Resistant: Highly stable in various liquid mediums, including nail polish bases, liquid soaps, and solvent-based crafts, ensuring the glitter does not bleed or dissolve.

Recipe: DIY Holographic Body Shimmer Gel
Create a light, water-based gel to apply a brilliant gold holographic shimmer to the skin for events or everyday glamour.
Ingredients:
-
Ninety milliliters Distilled Water (Aqueous Base)
-
Five grams Xanthan Gum (Natural Thickener/Stabilizer)
-
Three milliliters Glycerin (Humectant)
-
One gram Holographic Gold Hexagon Glitter (The Sparkle)
-
One milliliter Preservative (e.g., Liquid Germall Plus)
Instructions for Preparation:
First Step: In a small, clean bowl, measure out the Glycerin. Slowly sprinkle the Xanthan Gum into the Glycerin, mixing quickly to form a smooth, paste-like slurry. This step prevents clumping when adding water.
Second Step: Measure the Distilled Water and slowly pour it into the glycerin/gum mixture while continuously stirring with a glass rod or whisk. Continue stirring until the gum is fully hydrated and a smooth, clear gel consistency is formed.
Third Step: Add the Holographic Gold Hexagon Glitter (1 gram is a high load for maximum shine) and the liquid Preservative.
Fourth Step: Gently fold the glitter into the gel base. Mix slowly to avoid creating too many air bubbles, ensuring the glitter particles are suspended evenly throughout the gel.
Fifth Step: Transfer the finished Body Shimmer Gel into a clean, airtight jar or pump bottle.
Recommendations for Application and Storage:
-
Glitter Concentration: A 1% glitter concentration is robust for a body shimmer. Adjust the amount up or down based on the desired level of sparkle.
-
Application: Apply the gel lightly to the collarbones, shoulders, and legs. When the gel dries, it will leave the holographic gold effect on the skin.
-
Cosmetic Safety: Ensure the glitter is applied away from the immediate eye area unless specifically certified for ophthalmic use.
-
Storage: Store the Body Shimmer Gel at room temperature, away from direct light. The preservative is essential since the product contains a high water content.
