Enzymes

Enzymes are naturally occurring proteins that are essential for various biological processes in the body. Enzymes used in skincare products are typically produced through a process called fermentation. This process involves growing microorganisms, such as bacteria or fungi, in a nutrient-rich environment to encourage the production of the desired enzymes.

Benefits

  • Gentle exfoliation: Enzymes work to gently dissolve dead skin cells on the surface of the skin, making them an effective alternative to harsh physical exfoliants.

  • Brightening: Enzymes can help to brighten the complexion by breaking down pigmented cells and promoting the growth of new skin cells.

  • Smoothing: Enzymes can help to smooth the skin's surface by breaking down the bonds that hold dead skin cells together.

  • Anti-inflammatory: Certain enzymes, such as bromelain and papain, have anti-inflammatory properties that can help to reduce redness and inflammation in the skin.

  • Improved product absorption: By removing dead skin cells, enzymes can help to improve the penetration of other skincare products, allowing them to work more effectively.

Overall, enzymes are a gentle yet effective way to improve the appearance and health of the skin, making them a popular ingredient in many facial skincare products.
