Hydro Glitter 90+ 💧

more than 90% plastic-free

Black, opaque and with a reflective shine like a mirror, Obsidian Hydro Glitter is the perfect choice to add a splash of dark sparkle to any glitter project. Unlike Obsidian the volcanic glass, Obsidian Hydro Glitter is completely water-degradable and over 90% plastic-free, so it won't hang around in the environment long term.


DID YOU KNOW?!
Obsidian can hold a monomolecular edge, making blades many times finer and sharper than the best steel scalpel.

GLITTER HAVEN® glitters come in XS, S, M, L and XL sizes.

Top and side view of empty Glitter Haven XS size pot


The XS size is considered a tester size. It is most suitable for deciding if you like a particular style of glitter or if you use glitter very rarely.  

  • The pot is 28mm (d) x 20mm (h) and holds approximately 4-5g of glitter*.
  • Traditional glitters come in a 38mm x 50mm ziplock bag.
  • Biodegradable glitters come in a 70mm x 45mm landfill-decomposing ziplock bag 
Top and Side view of empty Glitter Haven S Pot

The S size is generally the standard size in cosmetic glitter. It is great for nail techs, MUAs, or other people who only use small amounts per application.

  • The pot is 38mm (d) x 22mm (h) and holds approximately 8-9g of glitter*.
  • The lids are interchangeable with the M pots to make stacking easier.
  • Traditional glitters come in a 50mm x 50mm ziplock bag.
  • Biodegradable glitters come in a 70mm x 80mm landfill-decomposing ziplock bag 
Top and Side view of empty Glitter Haven M Pot

The M size is for people who use their sparkles frequently. This pot is fabulous for soapers, candlers and crafters who use larger volumes of glitter per application or MUAs with bigger body areas to cover.

  • The pot is 38mm (d) x 48mm (h) and holds approximately 20g of glitter*.
  • The lids are interchangeable with the S pots to make stacking easier.

  • The pot is 92mm (d) x 37mm (h) and holds approximately 100g of glitter*.
  • The lids are interchangeable with the XL pots to make stacking easier.

The XL size is our largest available. Preferred mainly by event planners, costume designers, festival organisers or others who need a lot of glitter.

  • The pot is 92mm (d) x 80mm (h) and holds approximately 250g of glitter*.
  • The lids are interchangeable with the L pots to make stacking easier.
  • Traditional glitters come in a 100mm x 150mm ziplock bag.
  • Biodegradable glitters come in a 100mm x 180mm landfill-decomposing ziplock bag

 

NB: Some glitters are lighter in weight or physically larger, meaning less will fit into our standard bags and pots. This is especially the case with irregular flakes. Rest assured, you’ll still achieve the same coverage depth. Where needed, GLITTER HAVEN® may use larger containers at our discretion.

* All measurements are approximate, pots are filled by volume and bags are filled by weight.
The easiest way to wear your glitter
  1. Apply glue to the area you want to glitter - cosmetic glue, any kind of gel (think aloe gel, hair gel, body cream), even Elmers glue and craft glue sticks are body safe.
  2. Leave for a moment or two to go a bit tacky (if it's too wet the glitter will just slide when you are applying it).
  3. Using a makeup brush or even your fingers, dab the glitter onto the tacky glue. Repeat as many times as needed to get the depth of coverage you want. NB If the brush gets wet with glue, use a paper towel/tissue to wipe the glue off the bristles before continuing.
  4. Strut your glittery-stuff and show off your sparkle.

My first time trying Glitter Haven’s enviro-glitter range and I am IMMEDIATELY OBSESSED 😍✨ the nicest, broadest range of enviro-glitters I’ve seen, especially considering most places that sell bio glitter only sell a few very very fine glitters in prime colours and it just doesn’t do it for this Fairy!! Glitter Haven is now my number 1 and I’ll never look back! Also, Bella is so so lovely, kind and helpful. Such a huge fan 🥰

Beautiful, whimsical glitter that the tooth fairy leaves behind. Just as pictured, but more stunning in real life.

Just as pictured, but even more magical in real life. I am using in small advent gifts from Santa, and the special glitter brings so much joy and excitement to my little ones.

BEAUTIFUL Berry Blast!!

This hydro-glitter is simply amazing. It performs beautifully in melt and pour soap and I cannot wait to test it out in other bath and body products. My clients love that it is biodegradable. Thanks again, Bella and team, for another amazing product!

Fairy Dust for the WIN!!!

I received this glitter as a sample with my first purchase from Glitter Haven and I loved it so much that I decided to purchase a larger quantity -- it did not disappoint! My customers absolutely love it in melt and pour soaps to give their soap bar that little extra something. Am looking forward to using this fabulous cosmetic grade glitter in some lip gloss that I plan on making really soon. Thanks to Bela and the team at Glitter Haven for this wonderful glittery goodness!
