Ficin (100)

Ficin (100) is a plant-based proteolytic enzyme derived from the latex of the fig tree (Ficus carica) that belongs to the group of cysteine proteases. It is characterized by high enzymatic activity combined with good stability, making it ideal for modern cosmetic formulations. Ficin specifically breaks down proteins into smaller peptides, thereby supporting improved interaction with the skin’s surface. Through its enzymatic action, it gently removes dead skin cells without mechanical friction and promotes a more even, smoother complexion. At the same time, it can support skin renewal processes, counteract inflammatory symptoms, and contribute to the cleansing of hair and scalp—thus meeting the demand for effective, nature-inspired ingredients.
