FSS MODIFIED PAP-ANGO ENZYME PF

Trends for natural holistic skin and hair care treatments have not gone unnoticed by cosmetic formulators. Aryuvedic lifestyles are becoming more mainstream; and naturalists are frequently using ingredients such as mango and papaya to combat issues associated with problem skin and hair. The natural enzymes in these fruits are being utilized in cosmetics in a wide variety of hair and skin care products.

The enzymes within fruit as well as virtually all other organisms are natural catalysts (modify or increase the rate of a reaction without being consumed by the reaction) that regulate intrinsic functions such as fruit ripening and color changes in the plants’ leaves. Most enzymes are proteins, which lose functional activity as they denature. Utilizing enzyme extractions from fruit is not a new practice. The benefits of enzymes have been known and practiced in Aryuvedic medicine as well as folk medicines for centuries. Enzymes in both fruits are attributed with having functional properties for cosmetics. Papain in papaya and various mango enzymes are attributed with soothing skin irritations and exfoliating dead cells. Papain and mango enzymes are capable of retaining proteolytic activity over a wide pH range.

Although the enzymes of both fruit function similarly, the combination of the two mimic a product that contains an adjuvant in terms of the functional increase in enzyme activity when they are combined. Papaya contains arginine, which is an amino acid that smoothes skin and aids in cell regeneration. Both mango and papaya have antioxidant, anti-aging, anti-acne, antidermatitic and anti-dandruff activities, which are all needed functions for current cosmetic products. When attempting to improve the appearance of skin, formulators also usually need to address epithelial inflammation. Inflammation often induces swelling and hyperpigmentation of the skin; fortunately papain possesses anti-inflammatory properties that may address these issues.
