Papain Enzyme is a natural protease enzyme derived from the fruit of the papaya. It works by breaking down dead skin cells and proteins, promoting exfoliation without the harshness of mechanical scrubs. With a potency of at least 10,000 IU (International Units), this papain enzyme offers effective exfoliation, helping to reveal smoother, brighter, and more even skin.
Papain is also known for its skin-softening and soothing benefits, making it an ideal ingredient in facial masks, peels, and body scrubs. It helps to reduce the appearance of rough texture, dry patches, and hyperpigmentation. Papain is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, as it provides a gentler alternative to AHAs or BHAs.

FEATURES

  • Gentle exfoliation – helps to break down dead skin cells without irritation.
  • Brightening – promotes a more even skin tone and reduces the appearance of dark spots over time.

Formulator tip: Add Papain Enzyme to the cool-down phase of your formulations (below 40°C) to prevent degradation of its activity. This enzyme is most effective in formulations with a pH of 5.0–6.0. Ensure thorough mixing and perform a patch test before large-scale use, especially in high-concentration products.
