What it is
Pyrus Communis (Pear) Juice Ferment Filtrate is produced by fermenting the juice of European pears with microorganisms and then filtering the result. Fermentation can break down sugars and generate small organic acids, peptides, and other metabolites, yielding a conditioning, hydrating ingredient. It is used as a botanical-ferment skin-conditioning agent and does not provide UV protection.
Safety & warnings
Fermented fruit filtrates of this type are generally well tolerated. Because fermentation produces a mix of metabolites, individuals with very sensitive skin may occasionally react, though this is uncommon at cosmetic use levels.
Origin & sourcing
Natural, fermentation-derived. Made by microbial fermentation of pear (Pyrus communis) juice followed by filtration of the broth.
Questions everyone asks
Why is the pear juice fermented?
Fermentation transforms the juice into a blend of smaller metabolites such as organic acids and peptides, which are used for skin conditioning and hydration.
Does this ingredient add SPF?
No. It is a conditioning ferment filtrate and contributes no UV protection on its own.
