Green Edible Glitter F1105A Natural Mica Dust for Food Decoration

Kolortek's F1105A sits within the Edible Glitter Series — a line of pearlescent mica dusts engineered specifically for food-contact use. The green variant offers a consistent, light-scattering shimmer that reads as vibrant under ambient and artificial light alike. Particle size range is 10–60μm, which gives it good coverage without feeling coarse on delicate surfaces like macarons or mirror glaze.

The formulation is free from synthetic dyes that may cause compliance issues in certain markets. For buyers working in regions with stricter color additive regulations, a Titanium Dioxide Free version is also available — worth specifying at the inquiry stage if that's a requirement.

Product Series / Model Reference

Applications

F1105A is designed for direct food decoration and edible coating work. Typical use cases include:

• Cake and cupcake finishing — dusted directly or suspended in a clear gel medium
• Chocolate and confectionery — applied to molded pieces or truffles for surface shimmer
• Cocktails and beverages — dispersed in drink-grade liquid carriers for suspended sparkle
• Ice cream, cake pops, cookies, and macarons — surface decoration prior to or after setting
• Fruit and egg decoration — seasonal and novelty applications

In practice, the dust can be applied dry with a brush, blended into a water- or alcohol-based carrier, or incorporated into a spray medium depending on the surface and desired effect intensity.

Key Characteristics

• Pearlescent shimmer effect: Mica substrate produces light interference that reads as genuine sparkle — not a flat metallic coat.
• Natural ingredient base: Made from food-grade mica with colorants approved for food contact use.
• International food safety compliance: Meets relevant standards for food-grade colorant use across major markets.
• Color stability: Maintains green hue and effect consistency under typical storage and processing conditions.
• Blending compatibility: Mixes cleanly with other food-safe colorings without clumping or phase separation under standard mixing conditions.
• Consistent batch-to-batch quality: Important for production-scale confectionery and bakery operations where color matching matters.

Practical Considerations

If you're incorporating this into a liquid medium — a glaze, a cocktail base, or a spray solution — carrier selection matters. Ethanol and water are the most common vehicles. Avoid high-oil-content carriers unless the formulation is specifically designed for lipid dispersion; mica dusts without surface treatment can settle or clump in fatty media.

That said, for dry-brush application on fondant or chocolate surfaces, the powder handles well straight from the container. Coverage is even at low loading, and the green reads cleanly without muddying adjacent colors.

Worth noting: if you're sourcing for a product line that needs to meet Kosher certification requirements, this can be confirmed at the sample or procurement stage — documentation is available upon request.

For buyers evaluating food glitter options across multiple shades, the Edible Glitter Series covers a wide color range. Swapping between shades within the same series keeps carrier compatibility and application method consistent — a practical advantage when running multi-color product lines.

FAQ

Q: Is F1105A safe for direct human consumption?
Yes. The product is manufactured from food-grade natural mica and compliant colorants, and is fully aligned with international food safety standards for edible use. It is not a "decorative only" dust — it is intended for direct food contact and consumption. Relevant documentation including TDS, COA, and MSDS is available on request.

Q: What's the difference between the standard F1105A and the Titanium Dioxide Free version?
The TiO₂-Free variant is formulated without titanium dioxide as a component, which is relevant for markets or label claims where TiO₂ use in food products is restricted or being phased out (notably within the EU). The visual effect and application method remain comparable — the primary difference is regulatory compliance positioning.

Q: Can this be mixed with other Kolortek edible glitter shades?
Yes. The series is designed for inter-shade compatibility. Mixing green with other shades in the Edible Glitter Series can produce custom color effects. Start with small batch tests to dial in the target hue before committing to production volumes.

Q: What documentation is available for food safety compliance verification?
MSDS, TDS, and COA are available. Kosher certification documentation can also be provided. If your procurement process requires specific regional compliance documentation, contact the team directly to confirm what's available for F1105A.
