    Do they have biodegradable glitter? I know biodegradable makes it easier to remove…. So Sand then?

      Gotta go with something environmentally safe, but not biodegradable.

      Mica flakes would do the trick. Reflective enough, dyable in a pinch, easy to source.

      Drawback is sharp edges, but that can be mitigated with a decent suspension in slime. The stuff that kids were all into a while back. Non toxic, easy to make in big batches, sticks all over, and hard to clean off while still on the move.

      But, the slime itself is a usable option tbh, the mica glitter would just make cleanup harder, it wouldn’t add much to is effectiveness, or I don’t think it would.

      I’ve seen regular glitter vs masks, and it does work by itself, to a limited degree. So the mica may well be a good option as an addition, I just don’t know when I’d be able to test it, so I can’t say for certain. I can ask around, see if I can find someone to work on it as a fun experiment.
