How 100% Plastic Free glitter was achieved
To remove the final bit of plastic content from the glitter shellac was used. There is a very tiny amount of shellac in the PURE range. Shellac is made by beetles and is not made of beetles.
We strive towards Vegan products here at EcoStardust but also wanted to be able to offer our customers a truly 100% plastic free glitter. After researching how the Shellac is produced we felt that we were ok with it. The production of paper means cutting down trees and killing bug and beetles habitats, whereas Shellac does not involve cutting down or killing any living thing. If we were to not use the Shellac then we in theory should also not use paper.
HOW SHELLAC is made
It is part of a natural life cycle – The adult bugs lay eggs and cover them in a hard protective resin (shellac). The bugs produce the resin from the sap from the tree they are on.
