INCI: Papain
Appearance: fine-dispersed free-flowing powder from white to light yellow with a light aroma.
Solubility: Completely soluble in water (Water-soluble), insoluble in oils.
Optimal working pH range in cosmetics: 5.0 – 7.5 (demonstrates high stability in both weakly acidic and neutral environments).
Method of production: purified proteolytic enzyme obtained by extraction and subsequent drying from purified milky juice (latex) of unripe papaya fruits (Carica papaya).
Thermal stability: the product is a biologically active enzyme, therefore it is very sensitive to high temperatures. It is strictly forbidden to heat it above 35–40°C. Introduce strictly at the final stage of preparation into the cooled active phase of aqueous products, or use in anhydrous (dry) formulations, where its stability is maximum.
Cosmetic use:
0.5 – 3.0% (0.5–1% for daily cleansers, tonics and toothpastes; 1.5–3% for intensive enzyme peels, masks and hair growth retarders).
- Enzyme powders for skin cleansing (in dry anhydrous form) - 1.5 – 3.0%.
- Enzyme peeling masks, gels and exfoliants - 1.0 – 2.0%.
