Mother of Pearl / Nacre
Formula:
СаСО3
GOST/CAS:
CAS 471-34-1
Mother of Pearl (natural powder or highly purified pigment concentrate) is a unique biomimetic and organomineral complex derived from the inner lining of mollusk shells or synthesized using advanced technologies for the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. The product is a fine, white or cream-colored crystalline powder with a characteristic iridescent (interference) luster, insoluble in water but excellently dispersible in various emulsions and gels. Due to its unique layered structure and rich microelement composition, mother of pearl is an essential active ingredient in regenerative cosmetics, premium skincare products, and specialized pharmaceutical bases.
Applications
Cosmetology and Anti-Aging Products: Serves as a core active ingredient for creams, serums, and masks. It provides a visual skin-tone evening effect, stimulates cell regeneration, and protects against premature aging.
Color Cosmetics: Used in formulations of face powders, eyeshadows, lipsticks, and nail polishes to impart a sophisticated radiance, improve product texture, and create a soft-focus effect.
Pharmaceutical Preparations: Incorporated into specialized ointments and suppositories to accelerate tissue healing, due to its high content of bioavailable calcium and amino acids.
Laboratory Research: Utilized as a study object in biomimetics, materials science, and in the development of new biocompatible implant materials.
Key Advantages
High Bioactivity: Natural mother of pearl contains a complex of amino acids and trace elements that are easily absorbed by skin cells, stimulating the production of endogenous collagen.
Stability and Purity: The substance is manufactured under strict standards (GMP compliant), ensuring microbiological purity, the absence of toxic impurities, and a consistent particle size distribution.
Optical Effects: Unique light refraction masks fine skin imperfections, wrinkles, and unevenness, creating a "lit-from-within" glow without clogging pores.
Eco-Friendliness and Biosafety: A completely biocompatible natural or hypoallergenic synthetic component. The product is non-toxic, non-irritating to the skin, and environmentally safe when disposed of properly.
