Ananas Sativus (Pineapple) Fruit
Ananas Sativus (Pineapple) Fruit
Pineapple fruit ingredient used in cosmetics as a fruit-derived skin-conditioning extract. Depending on preparation, it may contribute sugars, organic acids, and sometimes bromelain-related proteolytic activity, which can support gentle exfoliation and a refreshed feel, but the ingredient is not a single defined chemical. PubChem identifies pineapple-derived bromelain as an enzyme mixture from pineapple stem/fruit used in cosmetic contexts.

Risks & Warnings
Can irritate sensitive or compromised skin, especially if the preparation is rich in fruit acids or proteolytic enzymes. Potential for stinging is higher in low-pH formulas, on over-exfoliated skin, or when combined with other exfoliating actives. People with pineapple/latex/plant allergies should use caution.
