How to Use Starpearl Blue Hydrating Pearls (SP-RA5-BL7585) in Your Formulations

Understanding Starpearl Blue Hydrating Pearls

Think of these pearls as tiny, beautiful bubbles of skincare actives floating in your product. SP-RA5-BL7585 Starpearls are large, soft gel spheres made from agar (a natural seaweed derivative) that hold a liquid core. Their primary job is two-fold: first, to create a stunning visual effect in your formulation, and second, to deliver a fresh burst of ingredients when the user rubs the product onto their skin.

Inside each vibrant blue pearl is a dose of Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5) and Beta-Glucan, both known for excellent hydrating and soothing properties. When the pearl breaks, these ingredients are released directly onto the skin, providing a unique sensory and functional benefit. Their exceptionally large size (7.5–8.5 mm) makes them a powerful tool for creating products that look and feel luxurious and high-end.

Formulation Tips

SP-RA5-BL7585 pearls are delicate and heat-sensitive. Always add them during the cool-down phase when your bulk is below 40 °C (104 °F). Adding them to a hot mixture will cause them to soften and lose their structure.

Because of their large size, the pearls must be suspended in a base with sufficient viscosity or gel structure to prevent settling. A clear gel built with a polymer thickener (e.g., carbomer, acrylates copolymers, or natural gums) works well. Aim for a stable gel network that holds the pearls evenly dispersed throughout the package.

Recommended usage is 0.5% to 3% by weight of the total formula. Use the lower end for a subtle, elegant look, and the higher end for a high-density, dramatic “pearls-in-gel” effect.

No. They are made from a soft agar gel and are designed to burst with gentle pressure, collapsing into a smooth liquid without grit.

Use a base with enough viscosity/structure to suspend them. Build a gel network with a polymer thickener (e.g., carbomer, acrylates, or natural gums) to hold the pearls in place.

Typical usage is 0.5% to 3% of the total weight. Use 0.5% for a subtle look and up to 3% for a densely packed, high-impact appearance.

Add at the very end during cool-down when your formula is below 40 °C (104 °F). Heat can soften the gel shell and compromise the pearls.
