Once celebrated for their aesthetic allure, as in Guerlain's iconic Terracotta Perles launched in 1993, pearls now power advanced skincare formulations. These tiny spheres encase fragile hydrophilic and lipophilic active ingredients within a protective membrane, preserving their potency right up to application. This allows for higher active concentrations and a luxuriously sensorial texture. "Chanel's Hydra Beauty Micro Serum advances this further with our superior bubble technology," shares Sébastien Bardon, founder of Capsum, the pioneer and leader in pearl encapsulation. Research continues to embed pearls and similar innovations across creams, scrubs, and more. The future of cosmetics is sparkling!
Suitable for all skin types—simply choose the formula matched to your needs, like moisturizing or anti-aging.
How to apply:
Like traditional serums: on clean skin, massage in until absorbed, then follow with moisturizer if needed. Pump bottles deliver the perfect dose, with pearls rupturing under pressure for instant, ready-to-use texture.
For Guerlain's Abeille Royale treatment (packaged without a pump to protect formula integrity), mix pearls with cream before first use and finish within one month to maintain active efficacy.
