Papain appears as a white, fine crystalline powder with a characteristic, natural scent and taste. The product’s water content does not exceed 7%. Thanks to its form, the raw material disperses easily in formulations, which is crucial for both cosmetic products and supplements.
Papain is valued in cosmetics for its exfoliating properties – it acts as a natural keratolytic enzyme, gently removing dead skin cells, smoothing the skin’s surface, and improving its tone. In skin and body care formulations, it contributes to improved hydration, increased softness, and smoothness. It is successfully used in enzymatic peels, masks, products for acne-prone skin, and preparations for softening foot and hand skin.
In the food and nutraceutical industries, papain functions as a natural enzyme supporting protein digestion and is an ingredient in digestive supplements.
