Description

Pearlizing agents are cosmetic ingredients primarily used to create a shimmering or pearlescent effect in products which helps to enhance their visual appeal.

Apart from the pearlescent effect, pearlizing agents may also function as opacifiers, dispersants, emulsifiers and viscosity modifiers. Products with pearlized effect are often more desirable in appearance and often perceived as richer and more luxurious compared to their clear counterparts, this  makes them more attractive to consumers.
