Hi all! i have an odd question, does anyone know if you can use any kind of glitter in body care products ( not eyeshadow or lipstick)? I want to use some on soaps and such but didn't know if i can use glitter i find at the craft store. Thanks!

Courtney,
You need to use a glitter that is body safe, such as cosmetic glitter. This is not necessarily glitter suitable for eyes or lips but use on the body. Regular craft glitter is not recommended because its not cut fine enough and can be scratchy to the skin.
Hope this helps.
