colours & effects
Answering the call
for non-toxic colourants.
Mounting concerns over harmful, toxic chemicals and microplastics means companies are faced with sustainability imperatives across multiple supply chains: reduce emissions, protect human health, and the environment.
For designers who rely on high-performance products, sourcing option for colours and effects – from dyes, pigments, pearls, glitters, and other shimmers – that do not contain plastics or mined or petroleum-based ingredients are extremely difficult.
Sparxell is answering the call for better colours by using bio-inspired photonic technology to make plant-based, biodegradable products – pigments, glitters, films & foils, and sequins – pioneering a new era of sustainable and high-performance products.

Our positive impact
— designing with and for nature
Lowering emissions
— 100% renewable and natural
Made from cellulose, one of the most abundant plant materials on Earth. Biodegradable. Renewable. Our pigments curb the dependency on finite resources and high GHG emitting materials like metals and minerals.
enabling circularity
— by design
Completely biodegradable, our products can be recycled and reintroduced into manufacturing processes with the least impact, preventing the release of harmful microplastics into our waterways.
Protecting
nature
— safeguarding our planet's health
Our plastic-free and toxin-free pigments have been shown in model studies to have some of the lowest impacts on flora and fauna at the end of life. Our pigments help safeguarding biodiversity, human health and long-term environmental conservation.
The best of nature
— the exact way nature intended.
We provide the world’s first performant pigment from plants, as a natural alternative to synthetic dyes, inorganic pigments, and microplastic particles.
