Licensed cosmetologist here! You'd be surprised to learn that there sadly is no difference between pure micas and edible glitter. (I say sadly because despite the lack of scientific evidence, the country validated the safety of ingesting edible glitter by abusing the "less than 2%" food additive ingredient rule) The 'edible' is a loose label used to inform the buyer that there at least is no plastics/known biohazards as vlad stated. There is still a lot of unknowns when it comes to ingestion of mica, which is why they recommend you use an incredibly sparse amount and only on rare occasions. BUT, if you are someone who suffers from diverticulitis, id use caution. So if you own any pure cosmetic grade micas or loose eyeshadow pigments that state its pure mica, that's edible glitter. No need to buy edible glitter.

I'm going to drop this comment here since this comment has so many likes and it's relevant to what I want to say. Mica powders are impossible to track down and almost always mined by children. These are terrible dangerous conditions and children often die or are trapped in these Mica mines. I love natural glitters and I love non-toxic glitters that are safe for the environment but we need to find a way to use and harvest these products that don't harm people

@shortyylu 2 года назад

Once I received a few glitter cupcakes, but I didn't trust the glitter at all even though I know edible glitter does exist. I looked up "edible glitter" and found that it's surprisingly hard to find edible glitter, and even then, it's hard to find the real version. i.e not just plastic glitter labeled edible. My mom wanted one, but they both went right in the trash. Your comment validates that choice for me, lol

@s.j.warlock4901 2 года назад

Just so you know: mica, the shimmering, non toxic mineral used in both edible drinks and make up is often collected in mines by children in India. Let's try to not support child labour, buy only sinthetic mica :)

@shulsyt5933 2 года назад

@@Nomidfarms There's absolutely no way to prove where the mica came from, that's the problem. There's essentially no such thing as ethically sourced mica, so synthetic mica is the only option where you aren't supporting child labour. Not to mention, you shouldn't drink mica anyway, edible glitters are the same as pure makeup mica powders, and would you eat makeup?

Mica is usually mined by children in India and it's extremely unsafe for them-also they are kept poor on purpose while the companies that sell you the stuff prosper. It is very difficult to trace mica and therefore even if it says it was ethically sourced, that may not be true. Many children die in the mines and are unable to attend school. I like shiny stuff, but we should pass on this.

It's also most likely mined under child labour. Because it can't be tracked down. These children often die. The little ones are often more wanted. They can fit into small holes. It's impossible to track. So overall. Mica, although pretty, is not something that should be promoted or widely used.

As you've mentioned, this consists of mica powder pigments, now I'll take this at face value because I know nothing about edible glitter except for what you've said. I still wouldn't support edible glitter because it has mica powder pigments, which come from mica. And the mining of mica is a dangerous job that endangers the lives of people who supply raw mica. Moreover, mining for mica weakens the soil or ground it is buried in, which may result to it caving in.
