Complexion Pearls

When mixed into a cream or lotion, these pearls will hydrate and become soft enough to break down upon application, releasing the pigments encapsulated within them.
The released shade is a universal "foundation" shade, which adapts to a wide range of skin tones
Ideal for achieving the perfect foundation every time: no need to mix several oxides and search for the right shade, as the shade obtained is already the ideal foundation shade.
Possibility of adjusting the coverage by varying the dosage: allows you to formulate BB creams, CC creams, or foundations
Very attractive aesthetic in a cream or gel because the microbeads are visible
Unique "magic" effect: the pearls gently crush on application to reveal a tinted cream or gel
The microbeads are made from natural raw materials, unlike the encapsulated pigments frequently found in commercial cosmetics, which are based on synthetic polymers.

This is a “complete” fragrance, ideal to be used as the sole scent in your cosmetics. However, you can also have fun modulating it, for example by adding other notes to create your own fragrance.
Add it to a neutral AZ base.
Complexion Pearls are used in dispersion in "oil-in-water" emulsions.
They can be incorporated as an ingredient in a ready-made AZ Neutral Base to create an emulsion with Organic Neutral Vegetable Milk, Organic Neutral Youth Creams, and Organic Refreshing Creams.
Incorporate complexion pearls as an ingredient in one of the neutral AZ bases listed above to create an emulsion
Step 1
Transfer your product to a cosmetic preparation bowl or other suitable container.
Step 2
Add the desired amount of Complexion Pearls (see table of typical dosages and within the maximum percentage that can be incorporated into the AZ Neutral Base of 10%).
Step 3
Mix, then transfer the product to an airless bottle or jar.
Step 4
Allow the complexion pearls to hydrate for 24 hours before use.
Make your own recipe from start to finish
Complexion Pearls can be dispersed in your "oil-in-water" emulsions to formulate tinted creams, foundations, BB creams, or CC creams.
Make a cream with complexion pearls
Step 1
Add the Complexion Pearls at the end of the preparation, to the cooled emulsion.
Step 2
Mix, then transfer the product to an airless bottle or jar.
We recommend waiting at least 24 hours before trying your product, to allow the Complexion Pearls to hydrate properly so they can melt into the skin and release their colour.

Frequently Asked Questions
Doesn't suit me. Very difficult to mix. Leaves residue on the skin. This product needs to be reviewed.
Very disappointing.
The beads never completely melted into the cream, so I had to buy another cream. I didn't like it.
I don't know how to use it, I didn't understand!
Great for a healthy glow.
