Hydrolyzed Pearl
Hydrolyzed pearl is derived from pearls, typically through enzymatic hydrolysis, which breaks down the pearl into smaller components like amino acids and minerals. In cosmetics, it is used for its potential to condition the skin, providing a smoother feel and a subtle brightening effect. It is believed to offer antioxidant benefits and support skin health.
