Papaya seed oil is full of enzymes and phytosterols which are said to give it moisturising and skin soothing properties. One of these enzymes is papain, which can be useful as a natural exfoliant as it helps to lift dead skin cells and excess oil, naturally rejuvenating skin. Papaya seed oil is said to be able help even out skin tone.
Papaya seed oil is very high in oleic acid, omega-9 fatty acid, which has a rich skin feel and is often used as a cleansing agent and skin texture enhancer. It is said to have skin calming abilities when combined with other lipids, making it useful for dry, dehydrated and sensitive skin.
