The Surprising SECRET Health Benefits of Papaya Seeds
Papaya Seed Oil Skin Benefits
Papaya oil comes from the seeds of the papaya fruit. The papaya plant grows easily in most tropical and subtropical environments across the globe. Several extraction methods including cold pressing and solvent extraction can derive oil from the seeds of the papaya fruit. The oil from papaya seeds is most widely used to condition and moisturize the skin and hair.
Products made from papaya, including papaya oils, are rich in nutrients, essential fatty acids, and anti-oxidants because of papaya’s naturally high vitamin A, C, and E concentrations. Certain anti-oxidants including those found in papaya oil can help provide a person’s skin with the protection and moisture it needs, and is absorbed quickly by skin.
This oil is widely used to treat a variety of skin problems such as psoriasis and eczema. This oil may also be used to firm the skin, remove blemishes, and even out skin tone. Soaps and lotions containing papaya oil are often used to exfoliate and moisturize the skin. Applied topically, papaya oil may help treat sore and cracked heels.
Applying papaya oil to the skin may reduce wrinkles, fine lines and other signs of aging. The enzyme papin in papaya products helps soften and dissolve the material that bonds dead skin cells to the surface of the skin. Papaya oil can make the skin cleaner and appear healthier overall.
