ENZYMES
Enzymes are so-called biocatalysts that accelerate metabolic processes in the body. In cosmetics, they are used in gentle exfoliants. The best-known enzymes are bromelain, derived from pineapple, and papain, derived from papaya, which also promote wound healing.
KEY FACTS ABOUT ENZYMES:
- They break down fats and proteins on the skin, thereby loosening the bonds between dead skin cells, which are then washed away after the product has been left on.
- This gentle, friction-free treatment promotes a fresh, smooth complexion, which is why these so-called enzyme peels are particularly suitable for sensitive, blemished, and acne-prone skin.
