Can bananas make your skin glow? Science says “yes,” and this chic French brand is transforming the entire banana tree into skincare super-ingredients!

According to KADALYS founder, Shirley Billot, banana bio-actives are sustainable and organic natural antioxidants that are clinically proven to help skin look more youthful. Known in traditional Caribbean medicine for their antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, bananas offer amazing benefits for luminous skin. We talk to the “banana hacker” about:

• The benefits of bananas – they are a natural alternative to retinol and contain more antioxidant power than argan oil and grapeseed oil.
• Turning waste into beauty – how they upcycle banana agri-waste extracted from the skin and pulp of green, yellow, and pink bananas into patented and clinically proven bio-actives that rejuvenate skin.
• Her ethical and fair-trade business model – KADALYS is a Black and female-founded company and all planters are also shareholders.
