What is Papaya Powder?

Papaya Powder is made from ripe papaya fruits that are pureed, freeze-dried and finely ground. This gentle method preserves the active enzymes and antioxidants optimally. The extract is known for a mild but effective enzymatic exfoliation that brightens the complexion and supports a natural glow.

On the skin, Papaya Powder helps loosen dead skin cells, making the skin appear smoother and the complexion fresher and clearer. The natural antioxidants – including provitamin A and vitamin C – support protection against free radicals and promote skin comfort. Additionally, papaya is known for a pore-refining and purifying action that calms troubled skin.
