This material is face paint, not acrylic paint. This is all safe for skin use as it is also FDA compliant even the glitter is safe and will not cut if it gets in the eye as it does not contain any aluminum like other glitters. If you look around for any other face painters make sure to ask: Do you use Acrylic paint or FDA compliant paint and does your glitter contain any aluminum in it? This is for the safety of your kids and your guests. I also use one sponge per kid to keep any germs from spreading incase one of them is sick, i clean out my water after every child and disinfect my brushes in betwen uses.
