Introduction

Body glitter and shimmer products face a compliance question most cosmetics don't: many conventional glitters are made from PET (polyethylene terephthalate) film, which falls within the EU's synthetic polymer microparticle restriction under Regulation (EU) 2023/2055. Alongside the standard Annex I safety assessment every cosmetic needs, your cosmetic product safety report for a glitter or shimmer product confirms whether your glitter is biodegradable, mineral-based or otherwise exempt, and flags any labelling or reformulation deadline that applies if it isn't.

What Your CPSR Assesses

  • Full ingredient and pigment/glitter toxicological review against Annex II, III and IV
  • Identification of glitter particle composition (plastic film vs. biodegradable cellulose, mica or synthetic mica alternatives)
  • Where plastic glitter is used: confirmation of current legal status, applicable transition deadline (EU rinse-off/leave-on/lip & nail categories run 2027-2035) and the "contains microplastics" labelling obligation, live in the EU since October 2023
  • Skin contact and exposure assessment specific to loose or bound glitter application (face, body or lip use)
  • Colourant compliance for any co-formulated shimmer pigments against Annex IV

Who This Is For

Makeup and body-art brands, festival and event cosmetics sellers, and any brand using loose or pressed glitter in a leave-on cosmetic product, sold in the UK and EU.

Under current cosmetic regulations, this is a legal requirement for selling cosmetic products containing glitter or shimmer particles in either market there is no exemption for small-batch or handmade brands.

No — only loose plastic glitter without a transitional exemption is restricted immediately. Glitter used in cosmetics has a phased transition period running to 2027-2035 depending on the product category, so most cosmetic glitter is still legal to sell now, provided your labelling and reformulation timeline are correctly planned.

Not currently. Regulation (EU) 2023/2055 is an EU measure; the UK has not introduced an equivalent restriction, though we monitor this and will flag any change relevant to your GB sales.

Materials like cellulose-based or mica-based shimmer particles that break down naturally are generally treated as exempt from the restriction we verify your specific glitter supplier's documentation as part of the assessment.

If your product uses non-exempt plastic glitter and is sold into the EU, yes — a "contains microplastics" statement has been a live labelling requirement since October 2023.

Yes, within the applicable transition period for your product category, but we recommend planning a reformulation timeline now rather than waiting until the deadline.

Yes nail and lip products fall under the longest transition period (to 2029), reflecting their different exposure and release pathway compared to rinse-off or general leave-on glitter.
