Carica papaya L is a member of the Caricaceae family, commonly known as papaya. The papaya extract is produced from the fruits of Carica papaya.
Papaya is high in components such as sugars, enzymes, vitamins, minerals and other organic acids such as citric acid and malic acids. Papaya is of great use to formulate cosmetic products for the protection of skin and hair integrity against oxidative processes. Papaya extract has hair weakening action. It has the ability to hydrolyze protein fibers useful for cosmetic products aimed at weakening body and facial hair. Degradation of the keratin in the hair follicle reduces hair shalf diameter and consequently facilitates hair removal. Thus, papaya extract is useful is formulate cosmetic depilatory products.
Due to its keratolytic action, papain degrades dead cells in the outermost skin layer, thus improving skin health, hygiene and brightness. Papain contains alpha-hydroxyacids (AHAs). AHA acts at the stratum corneum level. They act on the cohesion between corneocytes in the deepest layers, so that they make the stratum corneum thinner and improve skin flexibility.
