Pearl powder contains protein (18 amino acids can be obtained after hydrolysis, 7 of which are essential amino acids for human body), aragonite-structured calcium carbonate, more than 20 trace elements and vitamin B.
Freshwater pearls and seawater pearls (taking Nanzhu as an example) have different culture techniques, so their structures are also different. Freshwater pearls are seedless, and all the ingredients are made of mother-of-pearl. Therefore, if freshwater pearls are made into pearl powder, no other substances are mixed.

At the same time, pearl powder also has significant anti-inflammatory effect, which can inhibit the regeneration of inflammatory cells and prevent the wound from getting worse. When pearl powder is externally applied to wounds, it can fill tissue gaps and attach to vascular tissues, thus exerting its anti-inflammatory and collagen cell growth effects. ?
