Brand creator, Shirley Billot, was introduced to Creole pharmacopoeia by her mother at a very early age. In founding the Kadalys brand, she combines her desire to enhance the ancestral cosmetic virtues of the Banana Tree with her passion for plant research.
In 2010, it launched a research program to study the virtues of the banana tree and developed novel cosmetic actives called "Musactif". These active ingredients are true anti-aging shields concentrating the precious molecules of the banana tree. They preserve the skin's youthfulness and promote the synthesis of collagen and elastin.
Through KADALYS, I WISH TO CREATE ETHICAL COSMETICS, WITHOUT COMPROMISE BETWEEN HIGH PERFORMANCE, NATURALITY & CITIZENSHIP.
In 2012, she launched KADALYS, the first eco-conscious brand with patented Banana Tree active ingredients: skincare products combining technicality, authenticity and refinement.
I BELIEVE IN INNOVATIVE, ECORESPONSIBLE & COSMOPOLITE ORGANIC BEAUTY.
I BELIEVE IN A MORE ETHICAL AND INCLUSIVE CAPITALISM, WHICH IS WHY I ASSOCIATED 100% OF MARTINIQUE'S PLANTERS IN 2016 WITH THIS UPCYCLING AND ECOEXTRACTION PROJECT
In 2012, I created KADALYS, the 1st ecoconscious brand, a world expert in the science of banana, which develops ingredients derived from the agricultural co-products of the banana industry, and organic, committed and ethical cosmetic care.
Passionate about research and plant science, I wanted to combine my knowledge of Caribbean pharmacopoeia with the latest scientific innovations to extract the precious molecules of the banana, a sacred fruit of beauty and generosity. Since 2010, we have been studying the active components of the banana tree and have developed an expertise recognized worldwide.
Active activists, my parents made me aware of environmental and societal causes in the countries where we lived. The preservation of the environment and its resources is a cause dear to our hearts.
My many travels and my mixed origins (Caucasian, African, Amerindian and Asian) have naturally given me the desire to formulate products and textures that adapt to all skin types, complexions and climates.
KADALYS embodies my vision of a benevolent company that is in tune with the times and whose pillars are the circular economy, green chemistry and inclusive capitalism. Beyond holistic beauty, it is a vision of beauty that engages, gives meaning, shares and preserves.
