Hydrolized Pearl Protein is a pearl-derived cosmetic ingredient produced by processing and hydrolyzing pearl protein into smaller peptide fractions. It is used in premium personal-care formulations for its skin-conditioning, moisturizing, film-forming and sensory-enhancing properties.
Hydrolyzed Pearl Protein is particularly suited to facial care, body care, hair care and premium beauty formulations where a pearl-derived protein ingredient can complement moisturizing and conditioning systems.
Its protein-based composition can help provide a soft, smooth and conditioned skin feel and can also be incorporated into hair-care products to support conditioning and improved manageability.

Source
Hydrolyzed Pearl Protein is derived from natural pearl material, which is primarily composed of calcium carbonate and organic protein components.
The exact source, processing method and protein content vary by supplier and grade.
Physical Form
Depending on the commercial grade, Hydrolyzed Pearl Protein may be supplied as a:
- Fine white to off-white powder
- Light-colored powder
- Water-soluble or water-dispersible powder
Solubility
Solubility is grade dependent. Hydrolyzed pearl protein products are generally designed to be more readily incorporated into aqueous cosmetic formulations than untreated pearl material.
Always verify the supplier’s solubility specification before formulation.
