Papaya Enzymes

A naturally derived enzyme exfoliant that helps gently dissolve the bonds between dead skin cells for a brighter, smoother surface.

What it does

Works through enzymatic action rather than acid chemistry, making it a gentler exfoliation approach suitable for those sensitive to AHAs/BHAs.

Glow notes

Papaya enzymes (papain) are proteolytic enzymes derived from the Carica papaya plant. They work by breaking down keratin proteins in the outer layer of skin, helping to loosen and remove dead skin cell buildup. Because they act via enzymatic rather than acid mechanisms, they are often considered a gentle exfoliation option. They are associated with supporting a brighter, smoother-looking skin surface.
