Since prehistoric times, glitter has been made from many different materials including stones such as malachite, and mica, [5] as well as insects [6] and glass. [7] Uses for glitter include clothing, arts, crafts, cosmetics and body paint. [8] [9] Modern glitter is usually manufactured from the combination of aluminum and plastic, which is rarely recycled and finds its way into the aquatic habitats, eventually becoming ingested by animals, leading some scientists to call for bans on plastic glitter.

[43] It is "40% softer and more delicate on the skin than conventional glitter," and it decomposes in soil or water. [42] Cellulose glitter is also available. [44] Due to its unique characteristics, glitter has also proven to be useful forensic evidence. Because of the tens of thousands of different commercial glitters, identical glitter particles can be compelling evidence that a suspect has been at a crime scene. Forensic scientist Edwin Jones has one of the largest collections of glitter, consisting of over 1,000 different samples used in comparison of samples taken from crime scenes. Glitter particles are easily transferred through the air or by touch, yet cling to bodies and clothing, often unnoticed by suspects.
