@Alicia 🙌

@@SavageMinnow Thank you!

I think it looks disgusting.

You got it!

Luster dust is better i love luster dust

Luster dust is also commonly used in fantasy “potion” drinks!

Thank you!

It’s a glitch in the audio. Have a good day.

💀

@@thesugarart They weren't being rude, and the glitch in the audio wasn't your fault! So you have no need to be rude back to them.

@@MaggieGraceWebb they're not..??

@@MaggieGraceWebb No one was being rude, calm down.

Thanks!

A quick Google search gives you the info you need. From my quick 30 second search, it looks like a similar situation to the edible glitter. Some are approved while others are considered toxic when ingested.

Luster dust is also fda approved. Don't worry.

Check the ingredients on glitters and luster dusts. Some say it's okay for food appliance but not for consumption as they're made with plastics and etc. Make sure it says edible on it.

Hi guys, Ed here, Owner of The Sugar Art. Thank you for all the feedback and questions, I’m happy to clarify some things. First, We are an FDA registered facility and have been manufacturing powder food colors for a long time. We are surveyed by the FDA, as any other food product manufacturer is. The FDA themselves does not *approve* any company’s products, as that would be an endorsement. Which is why the FDA only monitors for compliance. The FDA actually requires companies to state “FDA Compliant.” No food product company is able to state approved, since the FDA does not provide approvals of specific company products. They only monitor companies for compliance & ensure all of the ingredients inside of the company’s products, are approved for consumption. Which ours here at The Sugar Art, are including the luster dust show cased in this video. Not all luster dust is compliant however, and we have a full blog on the website with what you need to know around this topic specifically: www.thesugarart.com/a/blog/edible-luster-dust On every product we make, including the edible glitter and edible luster dust, you will find a full ingredient list under product descriptions via our website. On our labels you will find the same information, plus the required lot # and expiration date. Please visit the FDA website for more information around edible glitter and edible luster dusts as well. We thank you so much for following along!

It has mica, which usually involves child labor to fit in the mines starting as toddlers. So there’s that, too.

Lol

It depends, if you wash your hands prior or wear gloves the chance of bacteria getting onto the food is a lot less. However certain environments such as warm environments are preferable to bacteria and make them breed more.

This is food grade mica made in the United States. The mica that is mined for things like cosmetics and relies on child labor contains heavy metals and is not approved for human consumption.

Idk may make ur skin break out I’d use a shimmer eyeshadow but some on ur finger then rub a chapstick on ur finger

It's often made of sugar so will just dissolve

If it's made with mica 100%, mica is often used in makeup, if it's made with food colour, sugar, or other food products then no since it will probably just dissolve.

So the mica we use is approved by the FDA for consumption, however, we do not know the laws around application on skin specifically since we are food product manufacturers. We always recommend cross checking our exact ingredients (listed on each product description) again cosmetic law on the FDA website. Thank you and good luck!

@@violetskies14 Hi, Our products contain no sugar inside of them, but some products do - ours only have FDA Food Colors. Thank you for your input!

DiamonDust edible glitter

It doesn't really have a taste

Edible glitter is not made of microplastics. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I'd love to know as well

It's a non metallic mineral, so it's no worse than calcium or iron

It's not the same as the mined mica that used in cosmetics (which is likely what you are thinking about). Mined mica has been a "hot topic" lately because of the reliance the mined mica industry has on child slavery and the lack of transparency around where brands are sourcing their mined mica. This is edible mica is sourced in the US, FDA compliant and doesn't contain heavy metals (like mined mica does).

@@Throatzillaaa thank you

Wait howw 🥲

Not the kind of mica you are referring to. This is food grade mica made in the United States and I'm assuming you are talking about the mica that is mined for things like cosmetics and relies on child labor. That sort of mica contains heavy metals and is not approved for human consumption.

Why are you spreading misinformation? FDA compliant edible glitter doesn't contain plastic; it contains food-grade mica (which isn't the same as mined mica aka the mica that is often questionable because the mining of mica is known to rely heavily on child labor).

The glitter is usually made out of gelatin, but there are some gelatin free kinds

Hi there, Yes - a specific size of mica is deemed 100% edible by the FDA. But it must not contain heavy metals or exceed that size. We are an FDA registered facility and only use FDA approved ingredients inside all of our products.

And I can promise it wasn't edible glitter.

It wasn’t edible it was normal glitter 😊

I believe some is made from seaweed, which doesn't have the same moral/health implications! It's hard to find, though.

Mica and some things that have not yet been identified as carcinogens 🤷‍♀️

Idk but they claim it is FDA approved! IT also has extra fine mica, and no sugar.
