Enhances Internal Restoration & Detoxification
SourceIts slightly alkaline nature supports pH balance, immune regulation, and anti-inflammatory pathways, contributing to overall wellness.
"Glutathione (GSH) is one of the vital endogenous antioxidants in various organisms by serving as an electron donor to exert its free radical scavenging ability and thus preventing damage to important cellular components caused by free radicals. A significant elevation in the levels of glutathione content and total thiols were noted within experimental groups [...] due to the intake of pearl powder" (Chiu et al., 2018)
 
Glow From Within
- 
            
Natural Source of Conchiolin
SourceThe calcium carbonate (aragonite) in pearls is naturally bound with conchiolin, a protein that hydrolyzes into skin-penetrating peptides. These peptides help replenish proteins, stimulate keratin cell renewal, and support skin regeneration. Hydrolyzed conchiolin also acts as a humectant—attracting and retaining moisture—leaving skin softer, smoother, and more elastic. Additionally, it forms a protective barrier that reduces water loss and shields against external stressors like pollution and UV radiation.

Supports Skin Regeneration
SourcePearl powder stimulates fibroblast activity and collagen production, helping the skin heal from within. Clinical studies show faster recovery in wounded tissue when pearl powder is applied or ingested.
“Oral administration of NE to SAMP8 mice suppressed the decreased skin moisture associated with skin aging and prevented skin dermal thinning caused by decreased collagen”

Antioxidant Potency
SourceParticipants who ingested pearl powder showed increased serum antioxidant markers, helping protect against aging and oxidative stress. A study found that erythrocytes pretreated with pearl powder showed restored SOD activity and glutathione levels against oxidative stress (Yang et al., 2016). Another study highlighted that pearl powder supplementation led to a substantial increase in total antioxidant capacity and total thiols (Chiu et al., 2018).
 
Antioxidant, Anti-Inflammatory and Detoxification
- 
            
Antioxidant Powerhouse
SourceAccording to Healthline,“Pearl powder is said to boost two of the bodies most abundant antioxidants: superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione” (Gallagher). It is also slightly alkaline, and consistent consumption will eventually balance the pH of the blood, fostering weakly akaline blood. This contributes to improved immune function and anti-allergic effects, to accompany and amplify the antioxidant properties.

Reduces Inflammation
SourceCO₂-extracted pearl powder has been shown to decrease pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-6, highlighting its potential to calm systemic inflammation. This anti-inflammatory action not only supports radiant, calm skin but also promotes joint comfort, bone health, and overall vitality. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, pearl powder was valued for its ability to “cool internal heat,” a description that aligns with modern research on its inflammation-modulating properties. By reducing hidden, low-level inflammation in the body, pearl powder helps create the internal balance necessary for long-term wellness and beauty from within.
 - 
            
Assists Liver Detoxification
SourcePearl powder’s trace minerals—especially selenium, magnesium, and zinc—play an essential role in activating enzymes that support the liver’s natural detoxification processes. These minerals work together to enhance glutathione activity, one of the liver’s most powerful defenses against oxidative stress. A healthy liver is foundational for radiant skin, balanced hormones, and steady energy, since it regulates the processing of toxins, fats, and key nutrients. By supporting detox pathways and reducing oxidative load, pearl powder helps the body maintain clarity, balance, and resilience at every level.
 
Bone and Muscle Support
- 
            
Strengthen Your Skeletal System
SourceBone is a dynamic, living tissue composed primarily of a mineralized matrix rich in calcium and phosphorus. Maintaining adequate calcium and magnesium intake is essential for bone remodeling—the continuous process of bone resorption and formation—which preserves bone density and structural integrity. Our pearl powder provides a bioavailable source of these key minerals, supporting osteoblast function and helping to reduce the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.
 - 
            
Support Muscle and Recovery
SourceMuscle mass plays a critical role in skeletal health by reducing load on bones and enhancing physical function. HMB (β-Hydroxy β-Methylbutyrate), a metabolite of leucine, has been shown to decrease muscle protein breakdown and stimulate protein synthesis, facilitating muscle preservation and recovery after physical stress or injury. This dual action supports musculoskeletal resilience and mobility.
 - 
            
Enhance Calcium Utilization & Cardiovascular Health
SourceEffective calcium metabolism requires not only sufficient intake but also proper regulation. Vitamins D3 and K2 (particularly MK-7) synergistically promote calcium absorption in the intestines and facilitate its deposition in bone matrix rather than soft tissues. This balanced mineralization reduces the risk of vascular calcification, thereby supporting both skeletal and cardiovascular health.
 
Organic Sea Buckthorn
- 
            
"Treasure Trove of Vitamins"
SourceSea buckthorn is a powerhouse of beta-carotene, lycopene (both powerful carotenoids), iron, and calcium. It "contains over 190 biologically active compounds, including vitamins A, C, E, and K, flavonoids, carotenoids, and essential fatty acids such as omega-3, -6, and -9. These compounds work together to provide a wide range of benefits for the skin, including anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, and moisturizing properties.
 - 
            
Collagen Renewal
SourceSea buckthorn also promotes keratinocyte and fibroblast regeneration, which is crucial for collagen renewal and barrier repair. Its anti-inflammatory polyphenols and flavonoids help maintain calm, resilient skin, even for those prone to sensitivity or breakouts (Yang et al., 2019).
 - 
            
Natural Form of Salicylic Acid
SourceSea buckthorn is also a natural source of salicylic acid, with studies identifying it as the primary phenolic acid in the berries, contributing to 55–74% of total phenolic content—supporting gentle exfoliation and skin clarity (Wang et al., 2022).
 
Organic Turmeric (95% Curcumin)
- 
            
Core Benefits
sourceChronic low-level inflammation can undermine skin health and accelerate aging. Turmeric, "particularly its bioactive compound curcumin, has demonstrated antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects that help reduce oxidative stress in skin cells. Research shows it may support collagen synthesis, modulate inflammatory pathways, and improve the appearance of hyperpigmentation, redness, and uneven skin tone. These mechanisms contribute to healthier, more resilient skin at the cellular level.”
 - 
            
Skin and Structural Support
SourceIts active compound, curcumin, has been shown to reduce markers of oxidative stress and stimulate the body’s own antioxidant enzymes, such as glutathione peroxidase, enhancing detoxification and supporting liver function, digestion, and hormonal balance—all of which contribute to healthy, radiant skin (Aggarwal et al., 2019; Hewlings & Kalman, 2017). Chronic low-level inflammation can undermine skin health and accelerate aging.
 - 
            
Synergy with Pearl and Sea Buckthorn
SourceCurcumin is a powerful antioxidant that complements sea buckthorn’s flavonoids and pearl powder’s glutathione-boosting properties. Together, they provide multi-layered defense against oxidative stress, a key factor in skin aging (Hewlings & Kalman, 2017). Curcumin can enhance overall nutrient absorption and metabolism, helping the body utilize minerals from pearl powder more effectively.
 
Pearl Benefit Enhancement via Sourcing/Extraction
- 
            
Japanese Waters
SourceAkoya Pearl Powder is sourced from genuine Japanese Akoya pearls (Pinctada fucata oyster) harvested in Japan. The waters of Japan are "cooler waters than most other pearl-growing countries. This cooler water temperature helps promote thinner and more compact nacreous layers, responsible for the pearl’s durability and—more importantly—its beauty. Harvesting the pearl when the waters are at their coldest creates even thinner, more compact nacreous layers, and hence the highest possible luster and durability."
 - 
            
Carefully Extracted Nacre
SourcePearl contains bioavailable calcium, magnesium, and amino acids, due to the careful extraction of nacre (the outer incandescent layer). These nutrients support skeletal, hormone, neurological and skin health. The pearls are "pulverized and ultra-fine milled (micronized) into a soft, high grade powder. This process is done without any calcination (no high-heat treatment), which helps preserve the pearls’ natural nutrients. The final product is 100% pure Akoya pearl powder with no carriers or additives", ensuring the highest level of potency.
 - 
            
Mix of Akoya and Hydrolyzed
SourceOur formulas blends 50 mg of pure Japanese Akoya pearl with 200 mg hydrolyzed pearl powder to optimize both purity and absorption. Adding more hydrolyzed pearl, refined through enzymatic processing, increases the bioavailability of aragonite calcium and other trace minerals—allowing the body to absorb and utilize these nutrients more effectively. This balanced combination captures the structural integrity of Akoya nacre and the rapid absorption of hydrolyzed pearl, supporting radiant skin, bone strength, and overall cellular vitality. Studies suggest hydrolyzed pearl enhances calcium uptake and antioxidant activity compared to non-hydrolyzed forms.
