Passion Dust Intimacy Capsules were a novelty cosmetic product, introduced in 2017, that consisted of capsules full of small, glittering particles, intended to be inserted into the vagina before sex.
The product was advertised as making the female genitalia "look, feel and taste soft, sweet and magical".
[1][2] Passion Dust was invented by Lola-Butterflie Von-Kerius, an American who sold the product from her home via the Internet under the label Pretty Woman Inc.[3] According to her website, the "passion dust" is made of gelatin, starch-based edible glitter, gum arabic, zea mays starch and vegetable stearate.
