Glitter Cremes
* NOTICE *
We are in the process of switching glitter cremes to the new formula.
As of July 25th, 2024, wholesale glitter creme orders will be filled from the new formula/new stock. It may take us a day or two longer to fill glitter creme orders while we make those new blends and stock the shelves. Please be sure to update your websites with the new ingredient list.
New Ingredients List:
Castor seed oil, cetyl stearyl alcohol, Olive oil, beeswax, hydrogenated castor oil, soybean lipids, lauryl laurate , carnauba wax, candelilla wax, Vitamin E
We are using the new manufacturer's production date and shelf-life recommendations to label glitter cremes with a best-by date. Be sure to rotate your stock appropriately and suggest to customers that heat can shorten the shelf life, so they should be kept cool between gigs.
***Current Stock Manufacture Date - May 2024***
I've sourced a new glitter creme base and have done extensive testing with the glitters over the past couple of months.
Due to circumstances beyond our control, we are unable to keep the "old" glitter creme base in stock. We've waited patiently for our manufacturer to get back on track with product and ingredient shortages, but unfortunately, they've let us down one too many times and we're not going to let one of our most popular products remain out-of-stock indefinitely.
The positives:
Lower price (Who doesn't love that?)
No need to microwave - My current method is to whip the base with my mixer, then fold in the glitter with a spatula. When making just a small sample batch, I simply used big spoon to smush the base around on a plate and then folded/pressed the glitter into it with a spatula. If you prefer, you can absolutely melt the base first.
Better results with Biodegradable glitters - One of the problems with the old base, was the high melt temperature which would cause biodegradable glitters to become brittle. But being able to work with this product at cooler temperatures means it should be suitable to use with biodegradable glitters.
Softer end product - I've left some mixed glitter cremes spread out on a plate and even after two months, the product was still soft I was still able to apply the glitter creme with an applicator or finger. (By the way, I don't recommend leaving the product opened on a counter for months, but I like to do extreme testing.)
Longer Shelf Life: The base itself has a 2 year shelf life after manufacture. I will start posting the manufacture date on the website so you know when you purchase it, how much time you should have to use it.
The negatives:
You'll have to update your ingredient list. As much as my neurodivergent brain despises big changes, there was no product available with an ingredient list that matches the base we've been using. Perhaps there actually is a worldwide shortage of certain ingredients and that's why nobody else is making something similar.
While this base has a very commonly used ingredient deck for lip balms and body butters, you still want to inform your clients and check for any potential allergies.

This is an identical color-match to the glitter creme we formerly carried, called Biosphere. We had to discontinue Biosphere when we ran out of plant-based glitter, but we were able to copy the color, using regular polyester glitter. We are calling this color "Illumine" because it illuminates your designs with an ethereal glow. The transparent holographic glitter matches every color combination.
