Lactobacillus/Pear Juice Ferment Filtrate is the filtrate produced by fermenting pear juice with Lactobacillus, yielding a mix of organic acids, peptides, and metabolites used as a skin-conditioning and hydrating agent. It is valued for mild humectant, antioxidant, and skin-barrier-supporting properties in cosmetic formulations.

Mild transient irritation or stinging | Uncommon | More likely on sensitive or compromised skin due to low-level organic acids. |
Allergic contact dermatitis | Rare | Possible sensitization to ferment metabolites or residual proteins. |
Redness or itching | Rare | Generally resolves on discontinuation. |
