Description
Pearls are formed by 10% protein, various nutritional active ingredients such as 17 types of amino acids, approximately 86% calcium carbonate and oligoelements such as Magnesium, Zinc, Manganese, Iron, Selenium, Strontium and Titanium.
Their first use is found in China, 3000 years ago, where they were already used in jewelry, but mainly as a medicine or in cosmetics. They are registered as a medicine in the Pharmacopoeia of the Republic of China. Asian women used powdered pearls to keep a youthful appearance, but they also discovered their healing, skin enlightening, wrinkle prevention and sun protection properties.
A study conducted in China showed that marine pearl powder, from Pteria martensii, has anti-aging and toning properties. In the study (Shao, D.Z. et al, 2010), the effectiveness of pearl powder was tested and it was seen that it has a significant moisturization effect. Moreover, it reduces the activation of tyrosinase and free radicals, retains water in the epidermis, stimulates collagen production and intercellular lipid production, and prevents the formation of the enzymes responsible for the degradation of elastic fibers.
By participating in the metabolism it improves skin immunity, accelerates the growth of new cells that increase skin smoothness and elasticity, and promotes the elimination of rough patches, skin toxins and blemishes. At the same time, with the help of the other active principles, the skin of the face and neck recovers its full radiance and young appearance, in a natural and non-aggressive way.
Conchiolin is a pearl protein that acts like keratin, one of the fibrous proteins found in the skin and hair. This protein has the ability to hydrate skin cells, accelerate cell metabolism, facilitate the repair of damaged cells, and increase peripheral circulation.
Researchers that apply traditional Chinese medicine believe that the minerals and amino acids of the pearls can be absorbed through the skin. They play an important role in cellular activities, maintaining physiological balance and repairing cells and tissues. They increase moisturization and elasticity, and they also activate cell metabolism, protecting skin against external aggressions.
Pearls cause a gentle exfoliation that regenerates skin, leaving it smooth and radiant. When they are applied externally, it has been discovered that they accelerate skin metabolism to tone and rejuvenate skin, fade blemishes, reduce pores and decrease redness. These activities can help achieve a brighter and healthier appearance and protect the hair against external aggressions.
