Appearance: Yellow to brown colored powder. The color may vary from batch to batch.
Papaya Powder is gently refreshing with a sweet, summery fragrance. It is excellent for balancing the oiliness of the skin & working as an exfoliant on dry areas. Papaya also is often used in skincare products to give a rejuvenated look to the skin. Papaya contains Vitamin A, which helps to reveal the next layer of the skin and exposes a radiant complexion. Vitamin C is also an antioxidant with wonderful qualities that helps to smooth and soften the skin.
Recommended Usage: The maximum quantity of powdered fruit extract should not exceed 0.5% of the total product, while in tincture form the maximum amount of fruit extract must not exceed 5%. Please be aware that there may be small bits of dark particles in this extract. These particles are part of the papaya fruit that has solidified and they will dissolve in liquid.
Note: The fruit extracts possess all the nutrients and beneficial properties of the fruit, but may or may not have the aroma of the actual fruit. Fruit extracts are meant for adding nourishing properties to the formulation and not for scenting the products.

Rating: Works wonderfully in facial masks. Unfortunately, it smells so much like old urine. Yuck! When used at small amount with the addition of Essential oils it makes for a great product.

Rating: when first tincturing in alcohol the solution became gelatinous and had a very strong papaya smell and reminded me of cooked tomatoes a bit but upon further dilution and filtration has become a beautiful round natural fruity scent

Rating: Apart from working as a good face exfoliation mask, this extract is also great in struggling with unwanted hair.
It will work only when hair is removed together with its root (waxing, etc.). I create a simple lotion with the papaya extract and apply it after the epilation. Visible hair reduce, and plus it helps greatly in preventing hair in-growth

Rating: It's a really good product. Highly recommend.

Rating: A little goes a long way and it dissolves easily in water. This powder also has a rather strong scent when re-hydrated, which makes it a fragrant addition to facial masks and other products. The sample/3.3 oz I got was packaged in a bag though, which I found rather inconvenient. I poured the contents into a different container.
Rating: I forgot that i really dislike the smell of papaya. However, this is a really good product. I made a mask with it and it really made my skin feel smooth and moisturized.

By:Marilyn, Newmarket, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: Doesn't smell like the fresh fruit that I know but has its own inviting scent. I appreciate its solubility in water and am now using it in my facial moisturizer.

Rating: smells so GOOD. I use this with the mango to make a mask it's a treat.

Rating: I was shocked at how great a mask this papaya makes with just the addition of some rose water. My pores virtually disappeared! Smells pleasant, and a great price.
By:Karen, Nepean, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: I nearly burst into tears when I saw such a wonderful price for this! I was dying to find a place with lots of extracts for me to use in my lotion, and now I have found one! And close to home to! No more having things shipped across the border and getting slammed with fees! Hurrah!

Rating: A clay mask with a pinch of papaya extract makes miracles : your skin is toned, refreshed and renewed. If you do not want to look tired, try a papaya extract mask and you will see a great difference in your appearance.
