“Collagen” is one of the most searched beauty terms in Mauritius, and globally. And it's easy to see why. From powders to peptides, drinks to gummies, collagen supplements are everywhere.
But here’s what many brands don’t tell you:
Your body can’t absorb collagen in its whole form. What it needs are the building blocks to make it - naturally.
At Naker, we believe in simplicity that works. That’s why we favour pearl powder - a natural mineral-protein complex that helps your body restore, rebuild, and glow from within.
Here are 5 science-backed ways pearl powder supports collagen production, and why it might be a smarter, more sustainable alternative.
1. Pearl Powder Doesn’t Just Give You Collagen - It Helps You Make It
Collagen supplements contain broken-down proteins called peptides. But your body digests them just like any other protein, it doesn’t send them straight to your skin. A 2019 review in Today’s Dietitian highlighted that collagen peptides are absorbed as general amino acids and there's no guarantee they’ll be used for collagen synthesis in the skin .
Pearl powder works differently. It contains conchiolin, a pearl protein structurally similar to collagen and keratin. Rather than trying to replace collagen, it stimulates your body’s own collagen production pathways, a more natural and biologically sustainable method.
2. It’s Rich in the Nutrients Your Body Needs to Build Collagen
To produce collagen, your body requires more than just amino acids. It needs specific co- factors, and pearl powder delivers them in abundance:
- Bioavailable calcium – supports skin cell renewal
- Zinc & magnesium – essential for collagen cross-linking and skin regeneration
- Amino acids – like glycine, aspartic acid, and alanine, which form the collagen matrix.
This makes pearl powder is a natural collagen booster - supplying the building blocks and the blueprint.
3. Protects Existing Collagen from Breakdown
Collagen loss isn’t just about age - it’s about oxidative stress. Pollution, UV exposure, poor diet, and stress all accelerate collagen breakdown.
A 2017 human study in the Journal of Food and Drug Analysis found that protein-rich pearl powder significantly increased levels of glutathione and superoxide dismutase (SOD) - two major antioxidant enzymes. These help to preserve collagen by neutralising free radicals at the cellular level.
4. It Helps Regenerate Skin and Tissue
In a 2018 Molecular Medicine Reports study, nano pearl powder stimulated osteoblast differentiation, which are bone-building cells that rely on collagen for structure. This effect, observed via autophagy-related pathways, suggests strong regenerative potential.
These findings indicate that pearl powder may activate tissue repair and skin renewal processes, promoting firmness, elasticity, and long-term resilience.
5. It’s Clean, Holistic, and Skin-Kind
Unlike many collagen supplements that contain animal derivatives, flavourings, or synthetic preservatives, Naker Pearl Powder is:
- 100% pure, micronised pearl powder
- Free from fillers or additives

Frequently Asked Questions
Does pearl powder contain collagen?
No, it doesn’t. But it contains conchiolin, a special pearl protein that helps stimulate your body’s natural collagen production and supports skin regeneration.
Is pearl powder better than collagen supplements?
It depends on what your body needs. While collagen supplements provide peptides, your body still has to break them down and repurpose them. Pearl powder works differently, by stimulating natural collagen production and protecting existing collagen with antioxidant support. It's a more holistic, nutrient-dense option.
Can I take pearl powder and collagen together?
Yes, but it may not be necessary. Pearl powder already contains the essential amino acids and minerals needed to support collagen production. If you do take both, space them out and monitor how your skin and body respond.
How long before I see results?
Most users notice improvements in skin tone, texture, and elasticity within 4–6 weeks of consistent use. Individual results may vary depending on diet, lifestyle, and age.
Is it suitable for all skin types?
Yes. Because it works from within, Naker Pearl Powder is suitable for all skin types—including sensitive or acne-prone skin.
Is pearl powder vegan?
No, it is derived from marine pearls. However, it’s a clean, ethical alternative to bovine or fish-based collagen supplements and contains no additives or animal gelatine.
Can pearl powder support anti-ageing?
Yes. Pearl powder supports collagen formation, reduces oxidative stress, and enhances cellular regeneration, all of which are key to reducing the visible signs of ageing such as fine lines, dullness, and loss of elasticity.
