Carica Papaya Oil
What Carica Papaya Oil is & what it does
Carica Papaya Oil is a plant oil obtained from the seeds of the papaya fruit. Like many seed oils it is a source of fatty acids and acts as an emollient, softening and conditioning the skin and helping reduce moisture loss. It gives a nourishing, slightly rich slip and is used in moisturizers, balms, and hair products. Papaya is also associated with the enzyme papain, though that is separate from the oil itself.
