Unfortunately, many glitters contain microplastics that often accumulate and have a negative effect on marine life. The alternative, mineral glitters, aren\u2019t any better, as they are often sourced from countries where labor conditions are less than humane and child-free labor is hard to guarantee. Glitters are also often coated with titanium dioxide via nanoparticles to alter their color. Recently, the European Commission classified titanium dioxide as a suspected carcinogen, which means it has the potential to cause cancer. Even gold, if it\u2019s not pure, is sometimes considered toxic. All of this sounds pretty scary, right? Well, not to worry, Prose shimmer powders don\u2019t raise any of these red flags and are both 100% sustainable. Here\u2019s how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Our sustainable bronze and pure gold powders<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The stars of Prose shimmer hair oil are our bronze and pure gold powders. They are both natural, plastic and mica-free, non-processed, non-ecotoxic, mineral particles. As mentioned above, mineral powders often raise concerns when it comes to labor conditions. However, our bronze powder is sourced from Japan and is certified conflict-free, responsibly-produced, and guaranteed to not involve any child labor. Our pure gold powder has a unique backstory as it\u2019s sustainably sourced from Germany and is made from upcycled jewelry. Just like our bronze powder, it is also certified conflict-free, responsibly-produced, and guaranteed to not involve any child labor. As for titanium dioxide, Prose glitters are completely free from it. Lastly, our pure gold powder raises zero concerns around toxicity due to it\u2019s pure nature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>The Prose team on shimmer hair oil\u00a0\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Product Innovation and <a href=\"https:\/\/prose.com\/blog\/women-chemists-prose.php\">R&amp;D team<\/a> has been working tirelessly to perfect our shimmer hair oil and are so excited to share it with our community. Here\u2019s what they have to say: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cScreening the bronze and gold powders was such an exciting challenge. I\u2019m proud to say that we have very high quality powders\u2014our gold is even 100% pure!! The happiness and joy that shimmer brings to everyone\u2019s life is amazing. It\u2019s so nice to see the smile on people\u2019s faces when they shake the bottle and see the magic happen. Everyone needs a bit of glitter!\u201d\u00a0<\/p><p>&#8211; Mathilde Sitter, R&amp;D Project Leader\u00a0<\/p><p>\u201cThe sustainable sourcing story behind our shimmer hair oil is what I\u2019m most proud of when it comes to this product. A lot of effort and love went into coming up with a product that is not only as fabulous as our shimmer hair oil is, but is also made with sustainable, responsible, and transparently sourced glitters. I LOVE how everyone is completely in awe with it as soon as they see it. I think it sparks joy and glee and it\u2019s so fun to see people\u2019s faces when they first try it.\u201d <\/p><p>&#8211; Anja Stefanovi\u0107, Product Innovation Manager <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"legacy-pcarousel\"><div class=\"legacy-pcarousel__inset\"><div class=\"legacy-pcarousel__header\">Shop products featured in this story<\/div><!-- .legacy-pcarousel__header --><div class=\"post-deck\">\n    <!-- Replace the # with the real product page URL inside the <a> tag -->\n    \n    <a href=\"https:\/\/prose.com\/products\/custom-hair-oil\">\n    <div class=\"post-product\">\n    <!-- Product img URL goes here inside the src \n    The image URL can be found at Media -> File URL\n    -->\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"card-img-top post-product-img\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/prose-blog-media\/1\/2018\/12\/oil_carousel_2.ae2f85b0-2.jpg \" alt=\"Card image cap\">\n      <div class=\"card-body\">\n        <!-- Product name goes here -->\n        \n        <p class=\"product-text\">Hair Oil<\/p>\n        <!-- Product price goes here -->\n        <p class=\"product-price\"><small class=\"text-muted\">$48<\/small><\/p>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/a>\n<\/div><!-- .legacy-pcarousel__inset --><\/div><!-- .legacy-pcarousel -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All that glitters is gold. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":12638,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21,387],"tags":[263,262,261,479,251],"class_list":["post-12634","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-category-from-prose","category-product-spotlights","tag-balanced-hair","tag-combination-hair","tag-dry","tag-new","tag-oily"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Introducing Prose\u2019s Sustainable Shimmer Hair Oil |<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Glitter in cosmetics raises a lot of concerns, but not here.
