Papaya SOS Marmalade 30 g

The Papaya SOS Marmalade by Ere Perez is like a little first-aid treatment in your beauty cabinet. The rich balm is especially useful whenever skin is very dry, rough, or out of balance: for chapped lips, dry hands and cuticles, rough heels, irritated areas of skin, or dry hair ends.

The firm, balm-like texture melts with the warmth of your fingers and forms a protective layer over the skin. A blend of Almond, coconut, jojoba, hemp, chia, and buriti oils, mango and shea butter, and squalane provide lipids and omega fatty acids that keep the skin supple and support its natural barrier.

The namesake and heart of the formula is fermented papaya extract. Papaya contains antioxidant plant compounds and natural enzymes such as papain. Fermentation breaks down components of the fruit; Ere Perez uses the extract to care for skin that looks stressed and help the skin's surface appear gently smoother and fresher. Calendula complements the formula with soothing properties.

Its versatility is precisely what makes the Marmalade special: It works as SOS care for the face and body, lip balm, cuticle care, care for dry hands and heels, or for brittle hair ends. This also makes the small jar especially practical for travel.

For dry or sensitive facial skin, the Marmalade can be applied specifically over the Moringa All-Beauty Crème by Ere Perez Apply to particularly dry areas. For a lighter treatment for the whole face, try the Australian Blue Cypress Face Nectar.

Ere Perez is an Australian beauty brand with Mexican roots. At its heart are simple, plant-based formulations and versatile products that are easy to incorporate into everyday life. The products are cruelty-free and mostly vegan.

Active ingredients

• Papaya (Carica Papaya (Papaya) Seed Oil) – its high vitamin C content supports collagen production and thus helps tighten the skin. Beta-carotene and vitamins A and E are powerful antioxidants that fight free radicals and improve the complexion. Enzymes dissolve dead skin cells and refine the skin’s appearance. Papaya contains the enzyme papain, which helps naturally exfoliate the skin to remove dead skin cells and cleanse the pores. Papaya also helps moisturize and regenerate the skin while improving elasticity. Its abundance of vitamin C helps brighten and even out skin tone.
• Chia seed oil (Salvia hispanica seed oil) is a formidable source of omega-3 and contains high levels of vitamins and minerals such as vitamin B3 and zinc. It soothes the skin, prevents breakouts, and protects against free radicals. A very powerful antioxidant that also reduces the appearance of pores and evens out skin tone.
• Coconut oil (Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil) protects the skin from damage caused by free radicals and premature aging. Its high lauric acid content gives the oil antifungal and antibacterial properties. Coconut oil is comedogenic, but nevertheless helps combat blemishes and is suitable for acne-prone and sensitive skin. It moisturizes and leaves the skin soft and supple.
• Hemp seed oil / Hemp Seed Oil (Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil) is rich in the essential fatty acids omega-6 and omega-3. Hemp oil supports the skin’s natural protective barrier, which prevents bacteria and environmental toxins from penetrating the skin and helps prevent it from drying out. The skin stays healthy and soft, is optimally moisturized, and looks beautifully smooth. Hemp oil can also help with skin problems such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, or itchy and reddened skin. This is due to the anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and antimicrobial effects of, for example, stearic acid. It soothes sensitive and irritated skin, helps pimples and minor wounds heal faster, prevents scarring, and helps prevent skin conditions. Gamma-linolenic acid binds water, creating a plumping effect. The skin looks fuller, and fine lines may be reduced.
• Shea butter (Butyrospermum parkii (shea) nut butter) is obtained from the fruits of the shea tree. Shea butter has a long tradition as a skincare and healing remedy. Rich in unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E, and beta-carotene, the butter protects against environmental damage, locks in moisture, fights free radicals, promotes cell regeneration, and leaves skin and hair soft and supple.
• Calendula / Marigold (Calendula Officinalis Flower Oil / Extract) - This plant from the daisy family is particularly known for its anti-inflammatory, soothing, and wound-healing properties. It also promotes collagen production and helps produce new tissue (an important process in wound healing), while carotenoids strengthen the skin's protective barrier. Very well tolerated and also suitable for babies' skin. Secondary plant compounds, known as flavonoids, have antioxidant properties and protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals.
• Almond oil (Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis / Sweet Almond Oil) is gentle and well suited for caring for sensitive skin. Almond oil soothes irritation, replenishes lipids, and helps retain moisture. Dry, irritated, and mature skin benefits especially. Almond oil leaves the skin soft and supple and is also well suited for hair care. Vitamins and the high proportion of unsaturated fatty acids (especially oleic acid) strengthen the skin barrier and provide protection.

FAQ

What can I use the Papaya SOS Marmalade for?
Almost anywhere skin or hair needs extra care: on dry areas of skin, lips, hands, cuticles, rough heels, or dry hair ends. This makes it an exceptionally practical all-purpose balm for home and on the go.

What skin type is the Papaya SOS Marmalade suitable for?
Basically suitable for all skin types, but especially for dry, sensitive, and stressed skin. For combination or oily skin, we would recommend applying the rich balm specifically to dry areas rather than over the entire face.

What is special about the fermented papaya?
Papaya contains natural enzymes and antioxidant plant compounds. During fermentation, components of the fruit are transformed and broken down by microorganisms. In the SOS Balm, the fermented papaya extract helps support skin that looks softer, smoother, and fresher.

Can I use the marmalade on my lips?
Yes. The blend of plant oils, mango butter, and shea butter makes it a rich treatment for dry and brittle lips.

Can I also use the Papaya SOS Marmalade on my hair?
Yes. A tiny amount can be worked into dry or brittle ends. Use very sparingly—fine hair usually needs just a touch.

Is the balm suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. Ere Perez explicitly recommends the Papaya SOS Marmalade for sensitive skin as well. It contains no fragrance or essential oils.

Can I use the Papaya SOS Marmalade as a cleansing balm?
Yes. Thanks to its rich oil and wax base, it can also dissolve makeup and sunscreen. For daily facial cleansing, however, the Fig All-Beauty Jelly is the specially developed and more straightforward option.
