    Hello the above are the ingredients of the cosmetic glitter I purchased to test out for my loose glitters. The problem I am having right now is that the odor is pretty strong and chemical. Is there anything I could add to help with the smell without messing up the adhesive. Also I would like your opinions on the ingredients as well in regards to their use. The glue would mainly be used as a cosmetic glitter adhesive that people use on their face, lips and around eye area (even though cosmetic glitter is to FDA approved for use/ use around the eyes many people do so anyway) Any help, critique, and suggestions are welcomed. ; background-color: rgb(189, 8, 28); background-size: 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer; border: none; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-position: 3px 50%; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat;”>Save; background-color: rgb(189, 8, 28); background-size: 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer; border: none; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-position: 3px 50%; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat;”>Save

    It’s hard to advise without knowing what you mean by the term “strong and chemical”.  I’d suggest you contact a fragrance house and see if they have a recommendation.

    I would guess that the product quoted in your starter has a Chinese origin. These are often not the highest or most desirable quality cosmetic products.

    I would hesitate to suggest that a product with the formulation quoted is used anywhere on the face and especially not in the periorbita.

    Can I suggest that you look online (or even visit cosmetic counters in big stores) to look at what other manufacturers use.
