Ananas Sativus (Pineapple) Fruit Extract
Ingredient Info
Pineapple fruit extract is derived from the pineapple plant and contains natural enzymes, vitamins, and antioxidants. In skincare, it's primarily used for its bromelain enzyme, which may help gently exfoliate the skin and promote a brighter complexion.

- Contains antioxidants
Potential concerns
- Can cause irritation or sensitivity, especially on sensitive or damaged skin
- May increase sun sensitivity
- Potential for allergic reactions in those with pineapple sensitivities
Science: Limited peer-reviewed data available for this ingredient in cosmetic formulations. Bromelain's exfoliating properties are documented in some studies, but most evidence comes from food science and traditional use rather than controlled skincare trials.
