Protease is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of protein, which has an effect on skin cells. To help exfoliate skin cells Its unique feature is that it can work in a neutral pH compared to AHAs that must be highly acidic.

An experiment with 5 users for only 2 consecutive days and using Protest Enzyme at a concentration of 0.2% found that

-Protease Enzyme makes the outer layer of skin (stratum corneum) bond more tightly. Resulting in the tightening of the skin. It was found that the bond was stronger by 49%.

-Protease Enzyme can accelerate the exfoliation of skin cells (Keratolytic Effect) by up to 66% from the level of natural skin cell exfoliation.

Protease Enzyme is synthesized from the process Biotechnology using Micro-organism

Temperature 4 degrees can be stored for 25 months, temperature 15 degrees can be stored for 18 months, room temperature can be stored for 12 months.

Instructions for mixing in the recipe

Protease Enzyme is easily soluble in water. But the quality will deteriorate within about 30 minutes when mixed with water. Therefore, the formula should not contain water as an ingredient. But when used Must be mixed with water. to start working (If it is not fully dissolved in water, Protease will not be fully effective) and applied to the skin. The product using Protease will be a mask powder. To use Users mix it with water and apply it on their face, or it can be Cleansing Powder : When used, mix with water and apply to the face.

WARNING: PROTEASE is a highly effective enzyme. *Do not* use more than the manufacturer specifies. May be harmful to the skin.

Usage: For skin exfoliation products or skin rejuvenation

Mixing method: Mix in any formula that does not contain water as an ingredient. When used on the skin Must be mixed with water To activate the enzyme, the formula should have a pH in the range of 5.5-8.5 where the enzyme can work most efficiently.

Usage rate: 0.1-1% (recommended 0.5%. Use exceeds the concentration specified by the manufacturer. will cause skin irritation )

Product characteristics: Beige or light yellow powder with pH value 5.5-8.5.

Solubility: Can dissolve in water

Storage: For long-term storage Store in the refrigerator at 4 degrees. Do not expose to light, heat, and humidity.
