What Is Edible Glitter Made Of?

We get this question a lot at Sugar Mama Shimmer, so we thought it would make a great blog post.  While we can’t speak for other edible glitter on the market, we can give you the details on our edible shimmer. We use the term shimmer to refer to edible glitter made specifically for drinks. 

All our edible shimmers contain various mica powder pigments and go through a specific manufacturing process allowing the mineral to be edible & consumable.  

 

Sugar Mama Shimmer - Edible Glitter Ingredients

Ingredients found in our edible cocktail shimmer include dextrose, rice starch and color additives specifically approved for food use, including mica-based pearlescent pigments and FD&C colors such as FD&C Blue No. 1.
