So, what is pearl powder?
Pearl powder is a fine, white powder derived from freshwater pearls. This luxurious ingredient has been used in traditional Chinese medicine and beauty routines for centuries due to its high content of calcium, amino acids, and trace minerals. It is believed to help promote healthy skin by stimulating collagen production, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improving skin's overall texture and brightness. In culinary applications, pearl powder is often used as a natural food coloring and flavor enhancer, adding a subtle sweetness and unique iridescent sheen to dishes.
