THE BANANA TREE AT THE HEART OF CELLULAR REGENERATION

Since 2010, our research around the assets of the banana tree has embodied our vision of a caring and committed company which is part of its times and whose pillars are the circular economy, eco-extraction and inclusive capitalism. Beyond natural beauty, we are committed to offering effective beauty that gives meaning, shares and preserves.

BANANA TREE FATS FOR RADIANT SKIN

The lipidic composition of the banana tree's various matrices is unique, giving it its healing and repairing properties, which have been recognized for thousands of years. Lipids play an essential role in managing skin nutrition and hydration, keeping it soft and supple.

Banana contains precious molecules that help preserve the skin's radiance:

1- Essential fatty acids:

  • Omega-3, α-linolenic acid, an important immunomodulatory factor.
  • Omega-6, linoleic acid, key to skin plasticity
  • Omega-9, oleic acid, involved in the regeneration of skin moisture and youthfulness.

Unlike oleic acid, which is naturally produced in body tissues, linoleic and linolenic acids do not accumulate in the skin and must be metabolized to be fully utilized. Their metabolism is even limited in the skin, so both essential constituents must be supplied unconditionally as cosmetic nutrients for the skin.

2 - Phytosterols and polyphenols

The banana plant contains plant sterols that are unique to this giant herb, giving it virtues that are unique in the plant kingdom.

Phytosterols slow skin aging by regulating inflammation mechanisms. Similar in structure to DHEA, they help renew the hydrolipidic film and synthesize cutaneous phospholipids, giving the skin a firmer appearance.

Polyphenols help prevent skin ageing by blocking free radicals and protecting cells from oxidative stress.

3 - Tocopherols

Tocopherols, or vitamin E, play an essential role in protecting the membrane of all the body's cells. Capable of neutralizing the aggressive action of free radicals on our cells, their antioxidant role protects them from oxidation. As a result, tocopherols preserve the skin's youthful beauty.

We believe in innovative and caring beauty. Innovative beauty, because thanks to scientific advancement, we create effective beauty treatments from bio-plant extraction. We value conscious consumption and, therefore, we specialize in recycling waste from the banana industry. Since 2010, our in-depth research into banana-derived products has allowed us to file three patents, demonstrating our commitment to sustainable and ethical beauty.

QUALITY, INTEGRITY AND RADIANCE OF THE SKIN AS PRIORITIES

The skin acts as a natural barrier against environmental hazards, thanks to epidermal lipids that prevent water evaporation. To strengthen this protection, we are developing oily bio-actives enriched with banana molecules. These formulas improve hydration and strengthen the skin barrier through better skin absorption. To preserve the hydrolipidic film and regenerate the skin, we have chosen to develop oily Bio-actives which concentrate the active molecules native to the Banana tree such as phytosterols, polyphenols and tocopherols. Oily dosage forms have better skin penetration, allowing the active ingredients to be vectorized through the skin cells. They thus help to keep the skin perfectly hydrated by strengthening the skin barrier.
