Hydrolyzed Pearl: Illumination from the Sea

What It Is

Hydrolyzed pearl is a fine, water-dispersible powder made by breaking down natural pearls into bioavailable minerals, amino acids, and trace elements. This process—often rooted in traditional Chinese medicine—transforms whole pearls into a skin-compatible form that retains their brightening and reparative qualities. The result is a rare, luxurious ingredient with a soft, opalescent touch and a deeply restorative profile.

The Benefits

More than just a symbol of beauty, hydrolyzed pearl offers tangible skin benefits:

• Brightening & Tone-Evening – Helps visibly improve skin tone and reduce dullness, lending a natural radiance.

• Mineral-Rich Support – Contains calcium, magnesium, and over a dozen trace minerals that nourish and strengthen the skin.

• Amino Acid Boost – Delivers building blocks for skin repair, contributing to softness, suppleness, and overall resilience.

• Gentle Exfoliation – Provides a very mild resurfacing effect, helping to smooth texture without irritation.

Why We Use It

We use hydrolyzed pearl in select formulations where we want to deliver luminosity, nourishment, and a sense of refinement. It brings a subtle radiance to the skin—not glittery, but a true soft-focus glow. In our work, this ingredient speaks to the idea that luxury should be felt as well as seen—and that restoration can come from even the most unlikely places, like the heart of a pearl.
