The Science of Enzyme Skincare

What Are Enzymes?

Enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts, speeding up chemical reactions in the body. In skincare, proteolytic enzymes break down the keratin protein that holds dead skin cells together, allowing them to be gently sloughed away without the irritation caused by physical or acid exfoliants.

How Enzymes Work in Your Skin

1. Activation: When applied to damp skin, enzymes become active and begin breaking down dead skin cell bonds.
2. Renewal: As dead cells are gently removed, fresh, healthy skin cells are revealed.
3. Absorption: With the skin barrier clear, your serums and moisturizers can penetrate more effectively.
4. Repair: Over time, regular enzyme use supports your skin natural repair processes.

Our Enzyme Technology

We use plant-derived enzymes including papain (from papaya), bromelain (from pineapple), and pumpkin enzymes. Our proprietary stabilization technology ensures these delicate enzymes remain active in the bottle and effective on your skin.
