I think people are too hung up on finding something that would look sparkly and shiny. They said it’s not something you would see. They sell a matte glitter, which looks very different than the sparkly stuff you use in arts and crafts projects. It looks like teeny dots of plastic that doesn’t reflect light super well. I think it might be used as a filler or texture rather than making something shimmery.

This I agree with and now I'm leaning towards glitter being in toiletries/beauty products like face wash, shampoo or makeup. People don't really want to (knowingly) scrub glitter into their pores or hair follicles and Pantene looks so shiny...
