Ingredients
Protease: Body-like enzyme
Posted by Xeno Team on
INCI: Protease
Effect: breaks down proteins, causes skin to peel.
Compatibility: very good
Protease is a protein-splitting enzyme that also occurs naturally in the human body. Therefore, protease is an ideal ingredient for an enzyme peel . Proteases are very well tolerated and thus suitable even for very sensitive skin , provided no other harsh ingredients are present. They help the skin to exfoliate gently without irritation. For this reason, protease is a more tolerable alternative to the fruit enzyme papain.
Protease works best in combination with the fat-splitting enzyme lipase .
Lipase: a body-like enzyme
Good to know: Protease occurs naturally in the body and is responsible for protein digestion (proteolysis). This enzyme breaks down complex protein molecules. All of this happens in the stomach: There, the food pulp is mixed with gastric juice, which contains the protease mixture pepsin.
