Cosmetic gold flakes are made from 24k genuine gold leaf certified by the EU and the US as edible gold. Gold from 22 carats is generally suitable for consumption (= food coloring # E175), and edible silver leaf (= coloring # E174) is a usable additive for chocolates, liqueurs, sweets, and pastries. Cosmetic product manufacturers buy these flakes to add a luxury touch.

How many gold flakes do I need for my product?
Several factors determine the amount of gold flakes you should use: What is your budget? How much can you sell the finished product for? And how luxurious do you want your product to appear?
From our observations of customer purchases, we typically find that 1 gram of gold flakes is enough for 40 jars of 100 ml each. If you want your jar to appear more luxurious, consider adding more gold flakes until you are satisfied with the sparkle inside.
Some customers incorporate gold flakes into face gel masks and may increase the amount to three times the standard for a more upscale international market.
Additionally, remember that using gold flakes sized 3 makes them more visible compared to sizes 1 and 2; therefore, you can use fewer flakes to achieve the same visual effect.
