About

A mother-of-pearl-derived lipid blend — marketed as luxurious skin-conditioning. Marine-derived; allergy and sustainability caveats.

Nacre lipids are the lipid fraction extracted from nacre (mother-of-pearl), the inner shell layer of certain mollusks. They contain a characteristic mix of free fatty acids, sterols and waxes associated with the organic matrix of nacre. Cosmetic use is primarily for skin-conditioning and luxurious sensory positioning. No CIR/SCCS monograph; supplier safety data is the main evidence. Marine-derived ingredients should be labelled for shellfish allergy consideration, and sustainable sourcing is important. No major toxicity flags.
