The Bencao Gangmu, the great classic of Traditional Chinese Medicine (16th century), credits pearl powder with the ability to calm the Heart, beautify the skin, support the bones and clarify the gaze — a single substance, many balances of the body.
Fine, soft and naturally pearlescent, pearl powder embodies a beauty that seeks not only to adorn the outside, but also to soothe the inside. In Chinese tradition, it is associated with purity, serenity and the balance of body and mind.
