The medicinal properties of pineapples have been used in folk medicine of tropical countries. Pineapple preparations are used to stimulate healing, against oedema, and inflammations, especially in Hawaii islands, Philippines and South America.
Pineapple is rich in carbohydrates, minerals, and vitamins, and offers moisturising remineralising and toning benefits which are recommended in skin care products for dry or tired skin. It is also a preferred active ingredient in exfoliating products to restore radiance and purify skin prone to acne, thanks to the enzymes and organic acids it contains. Pineapple is also an ideal ingredient in revitalising shampoos for flat, lifeless hair.
