Most of the finest ingredients in the products we sell are taken directly from nature, with extracts derived from plants, fruits and even clay. Today, we’re taking a look at a tropical ingredient which features in many of our products, the papaya. According to Wikipedia “The fruit is a large berry about 15–45 cm long and 10–30 cm in diameter. It is ripe when it feels soft (as soft as a ripe avocado or a bit softer) and its skin has attained an amber to orange hue.” – but what can it do for your skin? Read on to find out:
