Description

All this typically wasted fruit including in yellow, green, and pink varieties is sourced solely from growers in Martinique, all of whom are shareholders in the company, says Billot. Then, Kadalys uses chemistry magic to extract its beneficial compounds (e.g. vitamin E, polyphenols, and fatty acids) from the skin and pulp and create potent skin-care ingredients, patented by the company as Banana Bio-Actives, says Billot.

Pathway Description:

Fermentation is used to break down the banana peels and extract their nutrients, making them bioavailable for the skin.
