We Are Naker

THE ANATOMY OF A PEARL.

What lies beneath the surface of a pearl?

An intricate structure of marine minerals, microscopic crystals and organic proteins, assembled layer by layer by a pearl oyster over several years.

At Naker, we source mother-of-pearl from South Sea pearl oysters and use patented processing technology to transform this remarkable natural material into a fine powder.

From the ocean to modern laboratories, this remarkable marine material continues to fascinate scientists.

Pearl powder has been part of beauty rituals for centuries, prized across generations long before modern wellness had a name.

Centuries later, pearl powder has found its place again.

As beauty moves beyond what we put on our skin, there’s a growing interest in what we can do from within. In simpler routines. In real ingredients that have stood the test of time.

At Naker, we’re bringing this remarkable ingredient into the present: 100% pure pearl powder, reimagined for modern wellbeing.

Skincare doesn’t always look like skincare.
Good sleep, good nutrition, moving your body, getting outside, swimming in the sea… it all counts.

THE QUEEN OF THE SEA.

We’re very particular about our shells. And for good reason.

Not all pearl powder is the same. Much of the pearl powder available today comes from freshwater pearl mussels. Naker doesn’t.

We use Pinctada maxima, the saltwater pearl oyster responsible for South Sea pearls, among the most prized cultured pearls in the world.

The choice of shell was fundamental to us from the beginning. Because when you’re making pure pearl powder, the source matters.

Hi, we’re Alex and Talia.

Neither of us planned to start a wellness company. But here’s how two women from completely different backgrounds, ended up creating Naker.



Alex’s journey began in marketing.

For many years she worked across hospitality, travel, retail, jewellery and cultured pearls.

During that time, she worked alongside pearl farms, learning every stage of the fascinating yet painstaking process, from nurturing a tiny oyster to harvesting a beautiful cultured pearl years later.

It was through the pearling industry that she first discovered nacre, the remarkable natural material that forms every pearl, and is the foundation of our brand.

Talia’s career began in finance, specialising in budgets and financial analysis.

After becoming a mother, her priorities shifted. Taking up Pilates, and later becoming a Pilates teacher, sparked a deeper interest in health, nutrition and holistic wellbeing.

Although our careers couldn’t have been more different, we both found ourselves drawn towards a simpler, more natural approach to wellness.

By the time we met in Mauritius, we were both navigating very different challenges.

Alex was trying to make a struggling pearl farm work, while Talia was supporting a close family member through serious illness.

Different as our circumstances were, both experiences made us think more deeply about the choices we make every day.

We shared podcasts, compared notes on books we were reading, and met religiously at the gym every morning. Looking back, it was during those conversations that the foundations of Naker were taking shape.

The aha moment came one day on a boat trip to Coin de Mire, a protected island off the north coast of Mauritius.

Alex was frustrated with the pearl farm and began talking about pearl powder, a little-known by-product of the pearling industry. She explained how the workers had been taking it themselves for years because they believed it helped keep them well.

Alex had always wanted to do something with that story, but she didn’t want to do it alone.

Talia was in.

Over the following year, we immersed ourselv
