Illinois may ban nonbiodegradable glitter in personal care products by 2029 to reduce microplastic pollution in the Great Lakes.
Illinois is considering banning nonbiodegradable glitter in personal care products starting in 2029, under House Bill 4175.
The bill, introduced by Rep. Kimberly DuBuclet, aims to reduce microplastic pollution in waterways, especially the Great Lakes, where 90% of samples contain microplastics.
The ban would apply to makeup, body paints, and hair products but not to glitter used in celebrations.
If passed, Illinois would join California and New York in taking action, though no state has yet banned glitter entirely.
The bill is under review and could be decided by May 2026.
