Pearl Powder

Pearl Powder is a preparation of crushed pearls used in China and elsewhere for skincare and in traditional Chinese medicine.

For thousands of years, Pearl (margarita) has been a highly revered substance by many ancient cultures as a superb longevity food, possessing the power to increase life span, overall wellness, happiness, and quality of life.

Not only that, Pearl powder offers a wide range of benefits for human health like no other superfood on the planet.

Pearl has a long history that spans more than 4000 years. It is a treasure that was used by the ancient Egyptians, Chinese, Mayans and Ayurvedic practitioners of India. The benefits of Pearl were well known by nearly every civilization.

As a Shen tonic, Pearl is one of the best with its proven ability to soothe and calm the nervous system, lower stress levels, promote relaxation and improve sleep.

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Pearl is a heart and liver tonic. It is said to relieve a heavy heart by helping release and let go of old toxic energy and baggage. It soothes and cools “toxic heat” in the liver which results in brighter eyes, clearer skin and complexion, and an improved circulatory system that can feed the skin.

Pearl is one of the greatest ancient beauty secrets for promoting both inner and outer radiant health. It was highly sought after by the emperors and empresses, and most beautiful women of the Orient since at least 320 AD.

In the West, Pearls are typically associated with prized jewelry or gemstones but never considered as a potent nutritive food. However, Pearls can also be ground down into a fine powder for internal and topical use.

Traditionally, throughout the Orient, Pearl powder was used topically in face masks and also internally to nourish and enrich the skin, build strong bones and organs, promote calmness, increase longevity, and even intelligence.

Pearl contains a broad range of rich bioavailable nutrition that provides immense powers to renew, regenerate, and restore human health. Best of all, much of its benefits have been validated by scientific research.

Benefits for Skin

Conchiolin hydrates the skin, rebuilds collagen, and increases skin’s barrier action for retaining moisture. It also tones the skin and inhibits melanin production.

Below is a brief list of pearl powder’s benefits for the skin:

  • Increases skin’s collagen production
  • Helps repair skin’s damaged cells
  • Lightens skin’s tone and improves blemishes
  • Diminishes fine lines and wrinkles
  • Controls oil and shine
  • Reduces pores and promotes smoother skin

How to Use
Akoya pearl powder is versatile. You can also use it as a facial mask, or apply it with a brush as a subtle highlighter or translucent mineral setting/finish powder. It also mixes well with almost all powders, oils, creams, lotions, and other cosmetics.

Apply Pearl Powder as Facial Mask
You can mix pearl powder into your favorite recipe. Below is a sample:

  • Take 2 grams of pearl powder.

  • Add honey, or moisturizing oil as you prefer.

Apply Pearl Powder as Highlighter
Enhance your favorite features. Pearl powder, though it looks white, is not just white-colored powder. It has soft hues which shift subtly from direct to side views.

  • Apply a small amount of powder with a highlighter brush or a Q-tip.
  • Go slow and keep layering till you get the effect you like.

Apply Pearl Powder as Setting/Finish Powder
Match the tint of your makeup, blur fine lines, and control oil and shine. Akoya pearl powder is super-fine (2-3 microns), which gives you the ability to apply it translucent.

  • Brush on a small amount over the foundation as a setting powder
  • Apply over makeup as a finishing powder
