Enzymes are the „power generators“ of the metabolism of living organisms. The either build up substances or decompose them. In cosmetics, enzyme can be used in a targeted way. For instance, they find their tasks as tyrosinase inhibitor in whitening products in order to minimize hyperpigmentation of skin. In enzyme peelings, normally plant enzymes like papain or bromelain (from the papaya or pineapple) unfold their action: cell compounds are loosened so that horny cells on skin’s surface are removed. This type of peeling results in a particularly even skin tone and is very mild.
