By fermenting pumpkin fruit with lactobacillus lactis, a particular form of pumpkin enzyme is obtained. The fermentation process breaks down complex biomolecules into isolated phytochemicals, and selective filtration techniques are used to isolate the proteolytic parts. This gentle exfoliator is considered a promising alternative to acid exfoliation, as it is not irritating to sensitive eye tissue and has similar effects on cell renewal as 4% glycolic acid.
