Since the ancient times, pearl powder has been highly regarded in China as a beneficial health and remedy ingredient that is widely used in expensive Chinese medicines and health and nutritional preparations. It is believed that the utilization of the pearl can nourish the skin, strengthen the body; and slow down the aging process. More recently, scientists have extensively analyzed pearl powder and found that the most beneficial ingredients in pearl powder are the 14-18 amino acids (including the eight that can not be synthesized by the human body), and many minerals including bio-active calcium, magnesium and trace levels of iron, copper, zinc, etc.).
Pearl can be used as an additive to cosmetics and personal care products. When used in cosmetics and personal care products, they work synergistically to enhance the action of any skin moisturizer, skin lightener/toner, skin repair and UV-protection products. Once absorbed into the skin, it promotes the growth of new skin cells and replenishes the cells of the skin’s surface giving a smooth, fine, elastic and naturally beautiful skin. Other functions of pearl include promoting the activities of SOD (Super Oxide Dismutase) and preventing melanin formation. The functionalities of skin whitening and prevention of skin aging are achieved because the SOD enhancement has the function of clearing the skin of cellulite-like toxins. It is also suitable for use in creams and lotions designed to heal minor slow healing wounds, treatment of boils, pigmentation disorders, blemishes etc. It also acts as an exfoliator with functions similar to alpha- and beta-hydroxy acids without any irritation and harshness. When used in color cosmetics, it moisturizes and neutralizes UV-damage while imparting an incredible skin after-feel.
Pearl has the advantages of complete safety, no record of animal testing and a long history of use in traditional medicines and cosmetics, attributes for skin lightening; UV-protection, reduction in trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL), all these have stimulated much interests in this natural product. The possibilities to incorporate this natural ingredient into a cosmetic formulation is endless, which include but not limited to creams, lotions, milks, facial cleansers, facial masks, vanishing creams, massage creams, lipsticks, facial powder, eye shadow and other high-end cosmetics.
