Linked Papain Stability in Clay Masks

Linked Papain (e.q. X-PRESSIN C) is a form of papain enzyme that has been cross-linked with a polymer to enhance its stability, particularly when dissolved in water, compared to standard papain which degrades quickly. This modification helps maintain the enzyme's activity for a longer period.

The primary function of Linked Papain is to help exfoliate the skin by breaking down proteins that hold skin cells together, promoting faster cell turnover.

Regarding its stability towards metal ions or other ions, the available product information does not specifically detail its resistance or compatibility with various ions, including those commonly found in clay materials used in masks. While the linking process improves general stability, specific interactions with metal ions are not mentioned in the description.

When formulating with enzymes like Linked Papain, it's generally important to consider potential interactions with other ingredients, including minerals or metal ions, which can sometimes affect enzyme activity or stability. However, without specific data for this particular linked form, we cannot confirm its stability in the presence of metal ions or other ions found in clay masks based solely on the product description.

For best results and to ensure the enzyme's activity is maintained in your specific clay mask formulation, it is recommended to perform stability and activity testing of the final product.
