Zymo Clear MD

Zymo Clear MD, an enzyme powder for deep cleansing

Zymo Clear MD is a cosmetic enzyme complex distributed by RAHN. Its INCI is Maltodextrin, Lipase, Protease, and it comes as a white, odorless powder that dissolves in water but not in oils. Lipase breaks down oily residues and protease breaks down protein residues on the skin surface, so the powder helps a cleanser lift oil and dull surface cells more easily. Buy Zymo Clear MD as a powder cosmetic active from $9.99 for a 10 g trial, then scale to bulk packs up to 1 kg; wholesale volumes are quoted on request.

Why the maltodextrin matters

Maltodextrins are plant-derived sugars that bind water and also protect the enzymes, so they stay active for longer once they are in the finished product. The blend contains no preservatives. That stability is what makes the powder practical for cleansers and powder exfoliants sold to consumers.

Products that use it

RAHN recommends Zymo Clear MD for deep-cleansing face products, especially for oily-looking and sensitive skin: cleansing gels, makeup removers, enzyme powder washes and gentle exfoliating masks. The recommended dose is 2 to 6%. Products with it are described as leaving skin cleaner, smoother and brighter-looking with less need for harsh ingredients. It pairs well with zinc PCA in balancing cleansers and with allantoin in gentle masks. More exfoliating and cleansing materials are in our cosmetic actives section.

Processing

Dissolve the powder in the water phase at room temperature, or blend it dry into a powder wash that the user activates with water. Avoid long heating so the enzymes keep their activity, and store the pack closed and dry. It ships from Florida, usually within 1 to 2 business days, in the pack sizes shown above, and US shipping is free on orders of $50 or more.
