Up-cycling joins the fruit
Banana peel is not a waste like any other, it is a biodegradable waste that can be composted or, even better, used to create various products.
Up-cycling is a process of recovering product ingredients in order to reuse them to reduce waste. To ensure sustainability, some cosmetic brands use raw materials from renewable and sustainable sources. Bananas are a good example.
Unused components are recovered and processed into an active ingredient for cosmetic products. Bio-actives retain their beneficial properties for the skin, because they are rich in nutrients and antioxidants.
Brands like Kadalys respect an ethical and sustainable supply chain. At the end of the production process in traceable countries, we obtain certified organic and natural oily assets that will be used in our products.
