About
Juice from the common pear — a water-based humectant botanical rich in sugars and polyphenols. Generally well-tolerated, but needs a preservative system.
Pyrus communis fruit juice is the pressed juice of the pear, used in cosmetics mainly as a skin-conditioning and humectant agent. It contains natural sugars (fructose, glucose, sorbitol), small amounts of malic and citric acid, vitamin C, and polyphenols such as chlorogenic acid. CosIng lists it as skin conditioning. No CIR-specific review yet, but decades of cosmetic use with few reports of adverse effects. The main formulation concern is microbial stability — as a nutrient-rich juice it must be well preserved. Mild AHA content is usually below a threshold that causes irritation in rinse-off or low-% leave-on products. Pear allergy is rare but documented.
