Description

Papaya (Carica papaya) is native to tropical America, spanning the area from southern Mexico to the Andes in South America. They are considered “fast-growing, woody, large herb” plants that attain heights between 10 and 12 feet. The enzymes within the fruit and virtually all other organisms are natural catalysts (modify or increase the rate of a reaction without being consumed by the reaction) that regulate functions such as fruit ripening and color changes in the plant's leaves. Most enzymes are proteins, which lose functional activity as they denature. The natural enzymes in fruit are being utilized in various hair and skin care products in cosmetics. Using enzyme extractions from fruit is not a new practice. The benefits of enzymes have been known and practiced in traditional medicines for centuries. Enzymes in fruit are attributed with having functional properties for cosmetics and papain is attributed with soothing skin irritations and exfoliated dead cells.
