How to distinguish the authenticity of pearl powder?

How to distinguish the authenticity of pearl powder? Maybe many friends don’t know how to identify the authenticity of pearl powder. There are countless pearl powders sold on the market. When we cannot correctly judge the authenticity, the first thing we should do is to buy it at a regular store at an appropriate price. Don’t be greedy for small profits. Otherwise, not only will we fail to achieve the desired effect, but it will be counterproductive. Female friends who love beauty must pay attention to this. Let’s see how to identify the authenticity of pearl powder.

How to distinguish true and false pearl powder

Pearl powders all look similar, how can you tell the real from the fake?

1. Price: At street stalls, we may often see 200 grams or even 300 grams of pearl powder for a few yuan or more than ten yuan. This type of pearl powder is coarser and can be taken internally, but if used to wash the face it will damage the pores. The production cost of pearl powder: high-quality medicinal pearls cost about 200 yuan/kg, plus packaging, equipment depreciation, management costs, logistics costs, etc., the total cost is 400 yuan/kg

2. Skin feel: The finer the pearl powder, the better, but of course the more expensive it is. Inferior quality pearl powder has very coarse particles, some are even as coarse as sand. You may want to take a little and massage it gently on the back of your hand. If it feels rough, then forget it. Because this kind of pearl powder cannot be absorbed when taken orally, external use will damage the skin (mainly the stratum corneum, which is a very serious matter, so be careful!) and will only make you waste your money.

3. Taste: Take a small amount of pearl powder and taste it with the tip of your tongue. Pure pearl powder has no peculiar smell, and its taste is mellow and simple, with a faint fishy smell (or fragrance) unique to pearls in the aftertaste. If it has sour, astringent, spicy or other peculiar smell, or has no taste at all, you don't have to choose it. If there is a burnt or mushy smell when taking the medicine, and the powder is yellow in color, it may be the residual powder from pearl drilling. The high-speed rotation of the black steel needle causes the powder to turn yellow due to heat. Long-term use of this pearl powder may lead to heavy metal accumulation and poisoning.

4. Appearance: The color of nano-grade pearl powder is light gray. As the particle size becomes smaller, the ability to reflect light weakens, and the color seen by the naked eye is light gray. Fake pearl powder may appear noticeably whiter than real pearl powder. Dip a small amount of powder on your finger, unfold it and observe carefully under sunlight or light, you may find obvious glitter, which is mica powder. If the pearl powder is obviously yellowish or dark, its texture is not pure.

5. Details: The manufacturers of high-quality pearl powder will be very careful about every detail of the product. For example, there will be no mistakes in the Chinese and English texts and even punctuation on the packaging. The printing quality and packaging quality requirements are very strict. The color will not be dark, the overprint will not be inaccurate, and the seal will not be crooked (Can you imagine that Swiss watches can be world-famous if they don’t pay attention to even the details?)

6. Relevant certification: If the pearl powder you buy is a drug with a national medicine approval number, then the manufacturer must pass the GMP certification (Good Manufacture Practice, which is a national mandatory certification that all pharmaceutical companies must pass), otherwise the safety of the product cannot be guaranteed. Good companies will make pearl powder for health food according to the standards for medicine, and the quality requirements are very strict. Therefore, it is also very important to understand the qualifications of the producer.

7. Choice of fineness: The finer the pearl powder, the better, because it is easier for the human body to absorb. After practice, I found that fine pearl powder has very poor fluidity. To give an obvious example: when beans are placed on an inclined plane, they can easily roll down (good fluidity). However, when they are ground into bean powder, the fluidity is much worse and they have to be brushed off.
