FDA Cosmetic Grade Glitter Concerns.
Recently there was an announcement on a supplier website that cosmetic
grade glitter is not on the approved list per FDA. Research has shown
that this is indeed the case. FDA is providing an interim period for
formulators, both indie and corporate, to respond. Responses could
range from reformulation to petitioning to have cosmetic grade glitter,
which has been used for years in cosmetics, approved by FDA. At this
point we will continue to formulate using the industry standard .004
micron cosmetic grade glitter while we await FDA's decision. We are
very encouraged by the fact that the ingredient has been in use for
years, is approved by the EU, and that FDA is at this point not barring
its use. It should also be noted that unapproved does not equal unsafe.
We would never use any ingredient in our cosmetics that were labeled
unsafe for eye use. We will be working over the next few days to mark
which of our shades contain cosmetic grade glitter so that you may
choose whether or not you wish to purchase them. We appreciate your
patience while we await the decision and are confident that there will
be a swift resolution that will be beneficial for everyone. If you have
any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to email us at Ticktock.cosmetics@gmail.com. Thank you.
