Information
Papain is a natural enzyme extracted from the papaya fruit (Carica papaya). It is known for its exfoliating properties, which help to remove dead skin cells and promote a smoother, more radiant complexion. As a gentle enzyme, papain is frequently used in skincare for its ability to improve 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.
Exfoliating: Gently exfoliates the skin by breaking down dead skin cells, revealing a smoother and brighter complexion.
Anti-acne: Helps to unclog pores and prevent the formation of blackheads and acne.
Tone-evening: Promotes a more even skin tone by reducing the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
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 helps to remove dead skin cells and improve skin texture. Its mild nature makes it ideal for sensitive skin types that may not tolerate harsher exfoliants. By helping to unclog pores and brighten the complexion, papain targets dullness, uneven skin tone, and acne-prone skin, enhancing the overall effectiveness of skincare routines.
