What Is Hydrolyzed Pearl Powder?

Hydrolyzed pearl powder is freshwater pearl powder that has been processed to make it more water-soluble. This means it dissolves more easily in liquids, especially warm or hot water.

It is a beautiful choice for people who want to add pearl powder to daily drinks, skincare rituals, face masks, facial washes, moisturizers, and water-based formulations.


How to Take Hydrolyzed Pearl Powder Internally

Hydrolyzed pearl powder can be taken daily as part of your beauty and wellness routine.

Suggested serving

Take 2 g daily, or approximately ½ teaspoon, unless otherwise directed on your product label or your healthcare professional.

You can mix it into:

  • warm water
  • coffee
  • tea
  • cacao
  • smoothies
  • herbal drinks
  • warm milk or plant milk
  • or sprinkle it over food

For best results, add the powder to a small amount of warm liquid first and stir until dissolved. Then add the rest of your drink.

Using it in cold drinks

Hydrolyzed pearl powder can also be used in cold drinks, but it may take longer to dissolve. If clumping occurs, keep stirring until fully dissolved.


How to Use Hydrolyzed Pearl Powder Topically

Hydrolyzed pearl powder is lovely for simple water-based beauty rituals.

You can use it as:

  • a refreshing face wash
  • a simple face mask
  • a water-based paste
  • a booster for your current moisturizer
  • an addition to creams, lotions, serums, or skincare blends

Always patch-test first, especially if you have sensitive skin.

Nourishing Your Eyes

In a human clinical trial, Dr Wang treated 28 cataract patients with 1,500 mg of pearl powder three times daily, while also applying it topically as an eye cream. After one month, 66% of patients showed visible improvement or recovery. This remarkable finding suggests that when properly nourished, the eyes have an innate capacity to regenerate.

While conventional approaches often replace natural tissue with synthetic materials, pearl powder provides the nutrients the eyes truly need to heal at their source. Our focus should be on feeding the eyes, not merely treating symptoms.
