Mechanism of Operation

Mena Soap uses the core cleaning action of **saponified fats** to remove impurities. The unique benefits come from the additives: **Papain** (in Papaya) acts as a mild enzymatic exfoliator; **Citric Acid** (in Lemon) provides a light chemical exfoliation and antibacterial effect; and **Glutathione** inhibits melanin production while **Collagen** supports skin structure, driving the specific cosmetic results of each variant.
