Pineapple extract
Pineapple extract is beneficial for the skin due to its anti-inflammatory, exfoliating, and antioxidant properties, primarily from the enzyme bromelain and vitamins C and E. It removes dead skin cells, brightens skin.
Pineapple (Ananas comosus) supports skin health through its rich content of vitamin C and bromelain. Vitamin C boosts collagen production, enhancing skin firmness, while bromelain, a proteolytic enzyme, gently exfoliates dead skin cells, promotes cell turnover, and improves overall skin texture. These actions, combined with pineapple’s antioxidant properties, help protect against free radical and sun-induced damage, reduce acne scars, and support skin hydration. Additionally, compounds in the pineapple peel, such as flavonoids and tannins, provide antibacterial benefits against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, further enhancing its topical potential.
