Papain

🍍 Papain – gentle enzyme peel for smooth, radiant skin

Papain is a natural active ingredient from the papaya fruit that gently exfoliates the skin, removing dead skin cells. Unlike mechanical peels, papain works enzymatically – meaning it's effective yet gentle. Ideal for a refined, even complexion without irritation.

🔎 What exactly is Papain?

Papain is a protein-splitting enzyme extracted from the milky sap of the unripe Carica papaya fruit. It belongs to the group of natural enzyme peels and has a keratolytic effect – meaning it selectively dissolves dead skin cells on the skin's surface without irritating or damaging healthy skin.

🔬 How does it work in skincare?

Papain gently removes dead skin cells, smooths the skin's texture, and promotes cell renewal. This gentle exfoliation makes the skin more receptive to active ingredients, resulting in an instantly fresher and more even appearance – without mechanical friction or irritation.
