This week TheMoms and Pearl World, Inc hosted an event at Fred's at Barneys NY for the launch of Perfect Pearl, a line of skincare products for mother and baby that uses real pearl gemstones for their health benefits.

Note: I was invited as media and received a gift bag after this event. Any personal views expressed are always 100% my own.

During the event, Ying Zhou, creator of Perfect Pearl, shared why she created the line.

Having grown up in Asia where our history celebrates the health benefits of the pearl, it seemed so natural for me to create a line of products that incorporates pearl extract. It's well documented by ancient generations that pearl extract has powers for healing, vitality and beauty.

When Ying Zhou became a mother, her grandmother visited from Asia and brought the gift of pearl powder. Ying realized the soothing effects this pearl powder had on her daughter. It was softer and finer then any other powder she had used before. After Ying spoke with other mothers and searched luxury baby stores but didn't find any pearl products, she developed the Perfect Pearl Maternity and Baby Collection.

The Perfect Pearl Maternity and Baby Collection is made in USA using the best sea pearls as it's active ingredient. All products in the line are hypoallergenic, fragrance free, colorant and paraben free, as well as doctor recommended; making recommended; making it safe luxury for all mothers and babies.

The line consists of eight products for mother and child, taking them both from pregnancy through childhood for a truly rewarding mother and child skincare routine. The line retails from $18 - $55
