With such a push against single use plastic and mirco plastics etc. Why is glitter left untouched? surely it has to be one of the worse plastic pollutants. Currently getting our Christmas shop ready, and its on everything and gets everywhere!

    This is from 2014. Can you still buy these products in the US?

    At least in the EU, solid microplastics within cosmetics have been forbidden since 2018 (silicones etc. are still allowed unfortunately).
