EnzoGuard™ EP5000 is a high-activity plant-derived proteolytic enzyme encapsulated for enhanced stability, controlled enzymatic release, and optimized performance in cosmetic formulations.

The encapsulation protects papain from oxidation, pH shifts, and degradation during formulation and storage. It also enables time-controlled release for gentler, sustained exfoliation.

It promotes gentle enzymatic exfoliation, supports skin renewal, brightens dull skin, improves texture, and helps unclog pores without the need for mechanical scrubbing.

It performs best between pH 4.5 and 6.5. Formulators are advised to maintain this range for effective enzyme activation without compromising stability.

Yes, the encapsulation enhances its resistance to hydrolysis and degradation in aqueous environments, making it suitable for both leave-on and rinse-off formats.

Absolutely. It is suitable for exfoliating cleansers, face masks, peel gels, and serums. The encapsulation allows for versatility in formulation types.

Yes, it can be combined with alpha- and beta-hydroxy acids to create synergistic exfoliating effects. Formulators should balance the total exfoliation strength for skin safety.

When used within recommended levels, it is well tolerated and offers a gentle exfoliating effect suitable for sensitive and acne-prone skin types.

Ideal for exfoliating masks, peel-off gels, enzymatic cleansers, brightening serums, and clarifying treatments that require gentle enzymatic action.

It is typically a dispersible powder or microgranule, partially water-soluble, and should be uniformly dispersed with mild stirring or pre-wetted before addition.
