Enzyme is another name for enzyme, and enzyme is an extremely important biocatalyst. Due to the action of enzymes, chemical reactions in organisms can be carried out efficiently and specifically under extremely mild conditions. Because of this function, enzymes are used in many places in life, especially in cosmetics.

The role of enzyme cosmetics

Enzymes used in cosmetics can be divided into three types according to different skin problems.

The first is proteolytic enzyme, which is usually added to skin care products such as cleansing and exfoliation. Because proteolytic enzymes are mainly aimed at skin with poor keratin metabolism, they can gently remove dirt and aged keratin on the skin surface.

The second is lipolytic enzyme, which is also used in skin care products like proteolytic enzyme. It can decompose excess oil on the skin, effectively prevent pore blockage, and target the skin with strong oil secretion.

The third is antioxidant enzyme, which is mainly aimed at the skin that has begun to age. Because it can delay the aging of skin and resist the oxidative damage of free radicals to skin.

Different kinds of enzymes have different functions and aim at different problems. Generally speaking, enzymes are added to skin care products to repair damaged cells and protect skin smooth.

Proteolytic enzymes and lipolytic enzymes can effectively activate the skin's own enzymes, participate in the metabolism of skin cells, promote the growth and renewal of epidermal and dermal cells, and thus reduce the degree of inhibition of skin keratinization. Enzymes themselves can remove aged cutin from epidermis. The action of these enzymes can promote the adjustment of skin state balance.
