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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 63% | Activity: 65% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Eco-friendly Glitter:** The rise of eco-friendly glitter products is a disruptive innovation opportunity for the cosmetic industry. - **Biodegradable Cosmetics:** The development of biodegradable cosmetic products, such as Unicorn Snot BIO, presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the beauty industry. - **Sustainable Festivals:** The banning of traditional glitter at festivals has created a trend for sustainable glitter alternatives, opening up disruptive innovation opportunities for event planning and entertainment industries. ### Where This Applies - **Cosmetic:** The cosmetic industry can leverage the trend towards eco-friendly glitter products by incorporating biodegradable glitter into their cosmetic lines. - **Beauty:** The beauty industry can capitalize on the demand for biodegradable cosmetics by developing innovative, sustainable beauty products that prioritize environmental responsibility. - **Event Planning:** The event planning industry can seize the opportunity to provide sustainable glitter alternatives for festivals and other events, offering eco-friendly entertainment options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Biodegradable Glitter Innovations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biodegradable-glitter1.md) - [Vegetable-Based Vegan Glitter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-glitter.md) - [Glittery Gut Health Supplements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-glitter.md) - [Non-Toxic Kid-Friendly Make-Up Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kids-makeup-kit.md) - [Plant-Powered Neon Mascaras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neon-mascara.md) - [Sparkly Glittering Drink Enhancers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brew-glitter.md) - [Sustainably Luxe Face Oils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nakie-coquette.md) - [Skin-Caring Eyeshadows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oceanly-eyeshadows.md) - [Glitter Setting Sprays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glitter-setting-spray.md)
