Information

Papain is a natural enzyme extracted from the papaya fruit (Carica papaya). It is known for its exfoliating properties, which can slough off dead skin cells and promote a smoother, more radiant complexion. As a gentle enzyme, papain is frequently used in skincare for its ability to contribute to skin texture without the harshness of physical exfoliants.

Where does it come from?

Papain is derived from the latex of the papaya fruit, particularly from the skin, leaves, and seeds of unripe papayas. This enzyme is harvested and purified for use in skincare formulations, where it provides enzymatic exfoliation and other skin benefits.

What are the benefits?

EXFOLIATING GENTLE PURIFYING

What are the benefits?

  • Exfoliating: Gently exfoliates the skin by breaking down dead skin cells, revealing a smoother and brighter complexion.
  • Purifying: Can unclog pores and minimize the formation of blackheads and bumps.
  • Tone-evening: Promotes a more even skin tone by minimizing the appearance of dark spots and discoloration.
  • Gentle: Soothes and calms irritated skin due to its mild, natural properties.

How is it used in our products?

Papain is used in F76 Honey Enzyme Face Mask from OLIVEDA. It is included for its gentle enzymatic exfoliation that can slough off dead skin cells and contribute to skin texture. Its mild nature makes it ideal for sensitive skin types that may not tolerate harsher exfoliants. By unclogging pores and brightening the complexion, papain targets dullness, uneven skin tone, and oily skin, contributing to the overall benefits of skincare routines.
