Colorful, eye-catching glitter can add just the right amount of sparkle to any summer outfit but many festivals are now banning glitter, causing consumers to seek out [eco-friendly glitter products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecopeacos-bath-bundle) that can be used safely and responsibly for the sake of the environment. Unicorn Snot, which is known for its bold and bright glitter cosmetics, recently introduced Unicorn Snot BIO, an all-new line of biodegradable cosmetics made from a new type of cosmetic bio-glitter.

The [cruelty-free glitter cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skincare-makeup) are made from plant starches and are actually said to be even more brilliant than traditional flecks of glitter. In the Unicorn Snot BIO line, consumers will find products like [BIO Sunscreen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spooge), BIO Glitter Gel, and BIO Lip Gloss, all of which can be applied guilt-free to avoid supporting products with micro-plastics.
