What Is The Principle Of Pearl Powder Whitening

The medical book Bencao Gangmu of the Ming dynasty claimed that pearl can stimulate new skin growth and healing, release toxins, and remove sun damage and age spots.

According to scientific research, pearl powder extract inside 80~95% are calcium carbonate, trace elements only 0.05%-1%. The ingredients of pearl powder proved that it had no whitening effect. So why does the pearl powder whitening legend continue? Modern technology has given us the answer.

Scanning through a microscope, pearl powder has been found to reflect uv rays from the skin's surface, making it a natural sunscreen. It makes people feel that whitening is actually the effect of sunscreen. At the same time, a large amount of calcium carbonate in pearl powder can adsorb skin oil, reduce skin dirt, and also have a certain concealer effect. Visually, it makes the skin fairer, delicate and smoother.
