Opalescent Face Powders

The Precious Opal Powder is the First to Use Kyocera’s Kyoto Opal

— July 15, 2022 — Fashion
Clé de Peau Beauté's Precious Opal Powder is the world's first cosmetic face powder to use Kyocera’s Kyoto Opal and this luminizing face enhancer marks the first instance of artificial gemstones included in a cosmetic solution. The powdered, nature-identical opal helps to provide a "360-degree glow" and this product from the Shiseido brand pays tribute to the brilliance of natural opal with its colors and form.

The Kyoto Opal, developed for cosmetic use, has been in the works for many years and it taps into Kyocera's unique gemstone synthesis technology on silica particles identical to natural opal. While the internal structure remains the same as natural opal, these particles allow for more flexible processing, unlike natural gems, which are prone to brittleness, splitting and cracking.
Trend Themes
1. Kyoto Opal Beauty Products - The development of Kyoto Opal technology presents opportunities to create new beauty products that utilize artificial gemstones and offer unique glow-enhancing properties.
2. Nature-inspired Cosmetics - The use of nature-identical materials in cosmetic formulations can create unique products that mimic the look and feel of natural gems and minerals, appealing to eco-conscious consumers.
3. Gemstone Technology in Cosmetics - The use of innovative gemstone synthesis technology in cosmetic formulations opens doors to designing new, high-tech beauty products with distinctive properties and benefits.
Industry Implications
1. Beauty and Personal Care - The beauty and personal care industry can leverage Kyoto Opal technology, as well as other gemstone synthesis techniques, to develop new and unique high-tech cosmetics that tap into consumers' fascination with gemstones and precious materials.
2. Jewelry - Jewelry manufacturers and designers can benefit from the development of Kyocera's gemstone synthesis technology, which allows for more flexible processing of silica particles and opens up new possibilities for creating unique, synthetic gemstones.
3. Materials Science and Technology - The development of innovative gemstone synthesis technology, such as Kyoto Opal, requires expertise in materials science and engineering, presenting opportunities for companies and researchers in these fields to collaborate and innovate.
