Carica Papaya (Pawpaw) Seed Oil

Papaya oil, or Pawpaw oil, is beautifully aromatic with a light silky touch. It’s remarkably high in antioxidant tocopherols and carotenoids (vitamin A), making it perfectly suited to improving skin elasticity, reducing wrinkles, and promoting regeneration of skin cells.

Packed with vitamin C and carotene, papaya oil can fight free radicals and visibly brighten. Papaya oil may also help relieve itchy, scaly, irritated skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. Papaya is also rich in the enzyme papain, which helps gently slough away dead cells on skin’s surface to reveal a soft, bright, clear complexion.
