Description
Natural Pearl Powder is a refined cosmetic raw material derived from micronized freshwater or saltwater pearls. It is widely used as a premium skincare ingredient in high-performance cosmetic formulation systems.
INCI Name: Pearl Powder
CAS Number: 14791-36-3 (Calcium Carbonate – major component)
Chemical Classification: Biogenic mineral complex (primarily calcium carbonate with trace minerals and conchiolin proteins)
Origin: Natural (marine or freshwater pearl-derived)
Solubility: Insoluble in water; dispersible in aqueous and oil-based systems
Physical Form: Fine white to off-white powder
Pearl powder consists mainly of aragonite-form calcium carbonate along with trace elements and organic matrix components. In cosmetic grade applications, it is processed to controlled particle size for safe and uniform incorporation.
Mechanism of action on skin: Natural Pearl Powder acts primarily as an optical enhancer and mineral surface modifier. It provides soft-focus light reflection, improves skin appearance, and contributes to a smooth tactile finish through surface-level interaction without penetrating the skin.
