EXPLORING THE POTENTIAL USE OF BROMELAIN IN COSMECEUTICALS: A REVIEW
Abstract
Pineapple (Ananas comosus) is a member of the Bromeliaceae family, predominantly found in tropical regions, including Indonesia. Bromelain, a proteolytic enzyme, is present throughout the pineapple plant, with higher concentrations found in the stem compared to the fruit. While bromelain has been extensively utilized in medical therapies, its applications have expanded into various industries, including food and beverage, textiles, and cosmetics. The growing interest in natural ingredients within the cosmetic industry has led to the emergence of cosmeceuticals products that combine cosmetic and therapeutic benefits. Cosmeceuticals are cosmetic products that contain biologically active ingredients with therapeutic benefits on the applied surface. Common treatments address issues such as acne, redness, hair damage, wrinkles, photoaging, skin dryness, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone. This review article aims to discuss the potential benefits of bromelain as a cosmeceutical raw material.
