Ananas Sativus Fruit Extract
Science & Benefits
Ananas Sativus Fruit Extract is a functional humectant characterized by its natural content of the proteolytic enzyme bromelain. Bromelain provides a very gentle, non-mechanical exfoliation by breaking down the protein bonds (desmosomes) between dead skin cells. This 'clarifying' action is critical for acne-prone skin, as it prevents the buildup of cellular debris that leads to microcomedones. Simultaneously, the extract's high sugar and AHA content draws moisture into the skin. While it is highly effective, the natural enzymes can cause very mild tingling in hypersensitive individuals, though it remains a safe, non-comedogenic choice for improving skin texture and clarity.
