What Are the Benefits of Papaya Soap?

Overview:

Papaya is a type of fruit that grows naturally in Mexico and throughout several tropical and sub-tropical areas in the Western hemisphere. Its active enzyme, papain, is used in soap to exoliate dead skin cells . Papain-based soaps are typically marketed specifically as papaya soap, and are believed to offer particular benefits due to their botanical content.

Exfoliation:

According to Shirley Gillett's "Made Right for Your Skin Type," papaya soap has powerful exfoliating properties that render it beneficial for removing dead skin cells and rejuvenating dry and flaky skin. This is due to papaya soap's papain content which can catalyze protein breakdowns when combined with water.

Acne Relief:

The exfoliating properties of papaya soap also make it an effective acne treatment when it is used on the face or on other acne prone skin, according to "Healing Power of Papaya" by Barbara Simonsohn. This is because one of the primary causes of acne is the tendency for dead skin cells to clog the pores instead of being shed from the skin's surface normally. The American Academy of Dermatology reports that dead skin cells and excess sebum oil can accumulate inside hair follicles, causing a pimple to form, when the skin's natural exfoliating process doesn't work as it should. Only through manual exfoliation can this cause be treated or eliminated.

Skin Lightening:

Though not verified by clinical trials, anecdotal evidence suggests that regular use of papaya soap can cause mild skin lightening over time, according to Simonsohn. Many papaya soaps are marketed with this claim. Papain does not chemically lighten the skin as do some skin bleaching creams, but by exfoliating away outer layers of skin that may be tanned or otherwise sun-damaged, papaya soap may reveal lighter, brighter layers of skin underneath.

Skin Softening:

Manufacturers of papaya soap usually add an emollient such as palm oil or cocoa oil to moisturize your skin. As the papain lifts the dead skin cells from your face, the emollient softens your new layer of skin, potentially giving it a clearer appearance.

Direction for Use: Apply gently after taking a bath to the areas you wish to soothing. Massage thoroughly and leave for 3 minutes. Rinse off and pat dry.
