TiO2 Free Green Edible Glitter F6662501 Natural Food Safe Dust

This is a pearlescent mica-based dust in green, particle size 20–80μm, formulated entirely without titanium dioxide. That distinction matters in markets where TiO2 restrictions are active or anticipated — particularly within the EU and for brands building clean-label product lines.

It's not a synthetic colorant. It's not a coating-grade pigment repurposed for food. F6662501 is manufactured specifically for edible applications, using natural ingredients that comply with international food safety requirements. The shimmery effect comes from the mica substrate itself, not from optical brighteners or synthetic interference layers.

In practice, the powder behaves well across a range of food matrices — dry dusting directly onto surfaces, suspension in alcohol-based solutions for brush application, or incorporation into gel and fondant bases. Stability under normal handling and storage conditions is solid.

Product Series Overview — TiO2 Free Edible Glitters

F6662501 is one product within a broader edible glitter series. The full line covers a wide color range and multiple particle size options to match different visual effects and application methods.

Full series documentation is available on request, including TDS, COA, and MSDS for each model.

Applications

The 20–80μm particle range in F6662501 gives it enough visual presence without becoming gritty or unpleasant on the palate. That makes it well-suited for direct surface decoration where texture matters — fondant-covered cakes, molded chocolates, macarons, and similar confections.

It also works in liquid suspension for brushing onto surfaces or swirling into cocktails and sparkling drinks. The shimmer reads well in both dry and wet environments, which is not always the case with coarser glitters.

Documented applications across the series include:

• Cake and cupcake decoration (dry dusting or brush-on)
• Chocolate and cake pop coatings
• Cookie and macaron finishing
• Cocktails, mocktails, and sparkling beverages
• Ice cream and frozen dessert toppings
• Fruit glazing and sprinkle blends
• Decorated eggs and confectionery novelties

Key Characteristics

TiO2 Free: The formulation contains no titanium dioxide. This is increasingly relevant for manufacturers targeting EU compliance and clean-label positioning.

Natural ingredient base: Derived from mica with natural colorants. No synthetic interference coatings.

Pearlescent shimmer effect: The green reads as a soft, luminous shimmer rather than a flat pigment color. Effect intensity varies with application method and substrate.

Blendability: Mixes well with other food colorings without clumping or separation under normal handling conditions.

Stability: Maintains color and particle integrity under standard storage conditions. Not formulated for high-heat processing environments.

Compliance: Meets international food safety standards. Kosher certified. Kolortek's quality system is ISO 9001 certified, with SGS and TÜV SÜD testing support available.

Practical Considerations

Worth noting: edible luster dust behaves differently from synthetic craft glitter. It won't give you a hard-edged, mirror-like reflection — the effect is softer, more diffuse, more luminous. That's a function of the mica substrate. For food applications, that's typically the preferred aesthetic.

In practice, the easiest application method for dry surfaces is direct dusting with a dry brush. For a more controlled, saturated effect, suspend the powder in a small amount of food-grade alcohol (clear extract or vodka) and apply with a detail brush. The alcohol evaporates quickly and leaves the shimmer behind.

That said, incorporation into wet batters or high-moisture bases can reduce visual impact — the shimmer tends to be more visible on finished surfaces than embedded within a product. Plan application accordingly based on where the glitter effect needs to read.

For beverage applications, finer particle sizes (see FSS0300, F3039D) may suspend more evenly. F6662501's 20–80μm range is better suited to surface decoration than sustained suspension in aqueous systems.

FAQ

Q: Is F6662501 suitable for EU market products given current TiO2 regulations?
A: Yes. The product is formulated without titanium dioxide, which directly addresses EU Regulation (EU) 2022/63 that restricts TiO2 as a food additive. That said, always verify final formulation compliance with your regulatory team based on your specific product category and market.

Q: Can this be used directly on chocolate without a carrier?
A: Yes, it can be dry-dusted onto chocolate surfaces. For better adhesion and more even coverage, a light spray of food-grade alcohol before dusting helps the powder adhere. For enrobed or molded chocolates, application before full set gives the best result.

Q: What documentation is available for supplier qualification?
A: MSDS, TDS, and COA are available for F6662501. Kosher certification is available. SGS and TÜV SÜD test reports can be provided upon request. Contact contact@kolortek.com for documentation packages.

Q: Is custom packaging or private labeling available for this product?
A: Yes. Custom packaging and private label options are supported. Minimum order quantities and lead times depend on the packaging format requested.
