Performance & Formulation Insights for PearlPure Fine Powder PPF-115
How Pearl Powder Works
PearlPure Fine Powder leverages a synergistic blend of minerals and proteins derived from natural pearls to enhance skin appearance. Its primary mineral component, crystalline calcium carbonate, helps absorb excess sebum and imparts a soft, matte, soft-focus finish. Equally important is conchiolin, a keratin-like protein complex rich in amino acids. Upon topical delivery, these amino acids help support hydration, encourage cellular renewal, and reinforce the skin’s collagen matrix. Together, the mineral content and amino acid profile help moderate melanin formation for a brighter, more even skin tone while providing building blocks that promote smoother, more resilient-looking skin.
Formulation Guidelines
PearlPure Fine Powder PPF-115 is a heat-stable, ultra-white, fine powder with >99.5% passing an 800 mesh screen, yielding a non-abrasive, silky feel in finished products. Typical usage is 1–5% for daily creams and lotions, and 5–10% or higher for treatment formats such as masks and finishing/setting powders. As an insoluble mineral powder, it must be properly dispersed for uniformity: blend directly with other dry ingredients for anhydrous/powder systems; for emulsions, pre-disperse in either the water or oil phase and incorporate using high shear/homogenization prior to emulsification. The material is stable across common cosmetic pH ranges (approx. pH 5–8).
