Bromelain Enzyme powder

Bromelain is a naturally derived proteolytic enzyme complex extracted from the stem (and sometimes the fruit) of the pineapple (Ananas comosus). In cosmetics it functions as a gentle keratolytic (enzyme exfoliant), soothing anti‑inflammatory agent, and skin‑conditioning booster. Because it digests the proteins that bind dead surface cells, Bromelain reveals a smoother, brighter complexion without the irritation often associated with alpha‑hydroxy acids.

BENEFITS OF USING BROMELAIN

• Enzymatic exfoliation – dissolves keratin bonds to lift dull, dead cells

• Refines texture & tone – promotes softer, more even skin

• Soothes irritation & swelling – natural anti‑inflammatory action

• Boosts product penetration – clears surface debris so actives absorb better

• Non‑acidic & gentle – suitable for sensitive or post‑procedure skin

• Plant‑derived & biodegradable – aligns with clean‑beauty positioning

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

FORMULATION TIP

1. Cold‑process whenever possible: disperse Bromelain into cool (≤ 40 °C) de‑ionised water, mixing gently to avoid foaming.

2. Chelate metals (e.g., 0.05 % disodium EDTA) to protect enzymatic activity from trace ions.

3. Add to the cool‑down phase of emulsions after the temperature falls below 40 °C.

4. Maintain final formula pH between 5 – 6 for optimal efficacy with minimal irritation.

5. Avoid anionic surfactants or oxidising preservatives that can denature the enzyme.

APPLICATIONS

• Exfoliating gels, serums & sheet‑mask essences

• Brightening cleansers & facial polishes

• Post‑peel calming treatments

• Foot & hand smoothers, cuticle softeners

• Scalp exfoliating tonics & clarifying shampoos

• After‑sun soothing gels (to reduce redness)

PRECAUTIONS

• For external use only. Enzymes can cause sensitisation in some individuals—patch‑test finished products.

• Avoid inhaling the dry powder; wear a dust mask and gloves during handling.

• Store tightly sealed at ≤ 25 °C in a cool, dry place, protected from direct light and humidity.

• Formulate with broad‑spectrum preservation; although Bromelain itself is not a nutrient source, aqueous systems can support microbial growth.

Bromelain Enzyme Powder delivers spa‑grade exfoliation with the gentleness of nature, making it a versatile hero ingredient for brands seeking effective, skin‑friendly resurfacing solutions.
