Product Description
Ingredients: Carica Papaya Fruit Extract, Purified Water
Please Note: These products are for cosmetic use only and not to be consumed.
Papaya is a native fruit of Mesoamerica that has been utilised by humans for generations. Papaya's enduring popularity means it still ranks in the top five cultivated tropical crops (1)
Like most tropical fruits Papaya is rich in antioxidants but it is arguably best known for its enzymatic activity. Papaya produces two enzymes that can safely brighten and chemically exfoliate the skin: Papain and Pectinestase, of these it is the papain that is best known. Together the enzymes make up around 1% of the fruits weight and they have been found to elicit positive effects on the skin when used at 0.2% (2)
Key Chemistry typical for this extract.
Enzymes: Papain & Pectinesterase plus Vitamin A, Vitamin B9 (Folate), Vitamin C, Phenolic Antioxidants, Potassium and Insoluble fiber.

Botanical (dried fruit)
Appearance:
Free flowing powder.
Odour:
Characteristic.
Solubility:
Largely water soluble but if making a crystal clear liquid product you may need to filter the extract to remove any trace insoluble fibers.
Not soluble in oil.
Heat stability:
Best added when formula is cooled down to protect vitamin C but other chemistry is tolerant of heating.
Typical use level:
For daily use products with gentle brightening effect 1-5% is appropriate.
