Listing is for 1 fluid oz Papaya Enzyme Pineapple Extract Tincture
This tincture is a hydro-alcohol mixture prepared from organic plant materials, organic alcohol and de-ionized water.
Enzymes like alpha hydroxy acids help the skin exfoliated. AHA’s loosen the top layer of dead cells (primarily composed of keratin) while on the other hand enzymes dissolve the keratinized layer. Papaya and pineapple are great sources of proteolytic (protein dissolving) plant enzymes. This extract is formulated to enhance the enzyme properties of the separate extracts to create the perfect exfoliating and renewing blend.
The protein dissolving enzyme papain can only be found in papayas. Papain is at its highest level just before the papaya ripens, while it is still green. The powerful papain enzyme dissolves dead and damaged skin cells. Papaya is great for blemishes, mature skin, dandruff, large pores, and sun spots. Some research shows that the enzyme papain is useful as an exfoliant where excess keloids have formed during wound healing. Pineapple contains the enzyme bromelain and alpha hydroxy acids (malic acid & citric acid & tartaric acid & glycolic acid).
Add to: Shampoos, conditioners, creams & lotions, skin cleansers, hair masks, face masks and gels.
