Need some sparkle? DIY body glitter takes just seconds to make, is perfectly customizable, and works even better than expensive, store-bought body glitter with freaky ingredients.
And, by using the secret ingredient that you probably already have in your cupboard as the base agent, your body glitter not only won’t be freaky, but will actually be healthy for your skin.
Here’s how to make it:
To make body glitter, you need glitter, small upcycled containers, and aloe vera gel.
To make your DIY body glitter, you will need:
- small upcycled containers: Empty lip balm jars are a good size, as are these empty mineral pigment jars that I’m using. Small pump bottles will also work for this project.
- aloe vera gel: Pure aloe vera gel is the perfect base for body glitter–it stays just a teensy bit tacky even after it’s applied, so the glitter will stay on for a LONG time! Plus, aloe vera gel is good for you, so I’m happy to see my girls rub it into their skin when they apply their body glitter. I know the gel looks green in the bottle, but it won’t be green on your skin.
- glitter: Here’s where your project is really going to sparkle! DIY body glitter is so much better than store-bought, because you have so many more options for glitter in your homemade product. Course glitter? Fine glitter? White glitter? Rainbow glitter? It’s up to you!

This is really exciting! We bought some glitter body powder a while ago from a tiny little herbal shop, but one can never have enough ways to spread glitter all over the body.
Thanks!
I’ve also found a place where you can buy “cosmetics grade glitter”–http://www.smokymountaincraftsupplies.com/glitter.html–although I haven’t yet figured out how my Joann’s brand assorted glitter set specifically differs from something labelled “cosmetics grade.” Glitter isn’t absorbed by the skin, and shouldn’t be contaminated with heavy metals regardless of what it’s for, but craft glitter probably isn’t hypoallergenic?
