Mother of Pearl

Pearlescent particles are microscopic elements, often used in cosmetic products to add a luminous glow to the skin. Derived from minerals or synthesised in a laboratory, they are commonly incorporated into powders, eyeshadows and nail varnishes to create an iridescent or glittery effect. By capturing and reflecting light, pearlescent particles provide a flattering visual effect and enhance the texture of cosmetics.
