CAS Number: 9001-73-4
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Gently digests dead keratin proteins for enzymatic exfoliation without acid irritation.
Why It's Used: Gentle enzymatic exfoliant for acid-sensitive skin types requiring exfoliation without ph-dependent aha/bha irritation.
How It Works: Cysteine protease specifically cleaves peptide bonds in keratin proteins at neutral ph, dissolving corneocyte protein bridges without requiring acidic ph. activity is ph- and temperature-dependent (optimal ph 6.5, 37ยฐc). also gently solubilizes sebum plugs.
Typically Found In: Enzyme peels,gentle exfoliants,sensitive skin exfoliants,brightening masks

Safety Profile: Latex allergy cross-reactivity possible. avoid high concentrations on compromised skin.
Works Well With: Ahas (synergistic),hyaluronic acid,ceramides
Avoid Combining With: High concentrations on sensitive or compromised skin
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Papain's specificity for peptide bonds at hydrophobic residues (leu, phe, val) in keratin provides preferential digestion of the abundant hydrophobic corneocyte proteins, causing selective dissolution of corneocyte protein bridges without disrupting the non-protein lipid matrix of the stratum corneum.
