Protease and Lipase

Protease and Lipase are enzymes that naturally break down specific components found on the skin’s surface.

Protease enzymes help break down proteins, including those found in dead skin cells, while lipase enzymes help break down lipids such as excess oils. Together, they help gently support skin renewal and cleansing without relying solely on physical exfoliation.

The INCI names are Protease and Lipase.

Protease and lipase enzymes are produced using biotechnology, where microorganisms are used to create specific enzymes under controlled conditions.

Biotechnology enables the development of highly specific bioactive ingredients with consistent quality and performance. This reflects Bioli’s philosophy of using biotechnology to create effective skincare solutions that are gentle on the skin.

Traditional exfoliating ingredients often work by either physically removing dead skin cells or using acids to loosen the connections between them.

Enzyme exfoliation works differently by using biological processes to selectively break down components on the skin’s surface. This allows for a gentle exfoliating effect while helping maintain skin comfort.

Protease and lipase enzymes help:

– Remove dead skin cells and surface impurities.
– Improve skin smoothness and texture.
– Support a brighter-looking complexion.
– Help prevent buildup that can contribute to uneven skin appearance.
– Provide gentle exfoliation suitable for regular use.

Protease and lipase enzymes are suitable for many skin types, including skin that feels uneven, dull or congested.

Because enzymatic exfoliation can be gentler than some traditional exfoliation methods, it can also be suitable for sensitive skin when properly formulated.

The frequency of use depends on the final formulation and product instructions.

In Bioli’s 2-in-1 Cleanser & Exfoliator, the enzyme combination is designed to provide gentle exfoliation as part of a balanced cleansing routine.

Bioli chose protease and lipase enzymes because they offer a gentle, effective approach to exfoliation through biotechnology.

By combining cleansing and exfoliating functions in one formula, these enzymes support smoother, healthier-looking skin while reflecting Bioli’s philosophy of developing high-performance skincare that remains gentle and thoughtful.
