    A very stable, cold pressed oil that is rich in Omega 9 Essential Fatty Acid, Vitamins and Minerals. It is light and non greasy and excellent to brighten and improve the texture of the skin.

    PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

    A pale to medium yellow, mobile liquid with a faint oily odour that is cold pressed from the ripe seeds of the papaya fruit (also known as Paw Paw). It is then filtered and refined.
    • Use 1% to 100%.
    • Oil soluble so cannot be used in water only products. It can be used in small amounts in water based gels that will hold it in suspension.
    • Heat stable so can be used in Stage 1 (fat stage) when making creams and lotions.
    Blend Papaya Seed Oil with Castor Oil to make a simple but very effective cleaning oil. Work into the skin and then cover the face with a hot, damp cloth. This will open the pores and then wipe off the cleansing oil. This can be repeated several times.

    HOW TO USE IT

    Skin Care
    • Papaya Seed Oil is a non greasy oil that feels light on the skin and is easily absorbed. This makes it suitable for skin care, including acne prone skin.
    • Combine with Vitamin E to help improve the texture and the look of the skin. Can also be beneficial on the knees, elbows, knuckles and under the arms to brighten the skin.
    • Excellent to use in a night cream. Use in creams, lotions and anti aging serums.
    • A great oil to keep the skin hydrated and moisturised. It helps to reduce dryness which also helps to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

    • Very effective to use it in foot creams especially when combined with heavier fats like Shea Butter and essential oils like Myrrh and Tea Tree.
