Pearl powder is experiencing a resurgence in popularity on social media platforms like Rednote, particularly due to its historical use in traditional Chinese beauty practices. This finely milled powder, derived from freshwater or saltwater pearls, is lauded for its skin-enhancing properties, including brightening, calming, and supporting collagen production. Esthetician Kristyn Smith highlights its immediate luminous effects, making it appealing for social media users. The ingredient reflects a broader trend toward culturally-rooted skincare, moving beyond fleeting beauty trends.
"Pearl gives the skin a soft, luminous effect that shows up instantly, which makes it ideal for social media," says esthetician Kristyn Smith.
"This is made by finely milling freshwater or saltwater pearls that aren't suitable for use in jewelry," Smith shares.
"It's been used for centuries for its skin-repairing and calming properties. Biochemically, it's rich in amino acids, trace minerals, and calcium, making it highly compatible with the skin."
