Papain is a papain enzyme capable of dissolving keratin. Papain is used in facial masks and exfoliating lotions and is a very gentle exfoliator. It can be irritating to the skin, but not as irritating as bromelain, a similar enzyme found in pineapple that is also used in cosmetics. It is considered a non-comedogenic material.
Papain is a tenderizer, a protein-digesting enzyme obtained from papaya fruit. The enzyme, used in a patented process, is injected into the circulatory system of a live animal and activated by cooking heat to break down proteins, thereby tenderizing beef. The enzyme is inactivated by stomach acid.
