Pyrus Communis (Pear) Fruit Extract is derived from pear fruit and is used in cosmetics as a skin-conditioning agent, offering humectant, mild antioxidant, and soothing properties due to its content of sugars, vitamins, and organic acids. It is typically included to support hydration and improve skin feel rather than as a primary clinical active.

Contact urticaria | Very rare | Hives at application site reported only in isolated allergic cases. |
