Texture: The main raw material of this powder is the powder drilled in the process of processing pearl jewelry, mixed with talcum powder.
color: yellowish, which is mainly caused by high temperature heating during drilling.
odor: it tastes burnt or smelly when taken. Black steel needles drill holes in pearls by heating and rotating, and the fragments of black steel needles fall into the powder, which contains a lot of metal bodies, which will make people chronically poisoned after long-term use < P > Also, talk about the ground fine pearl powder, which is not water-soluble.
