Sustainable banana science uses natural and organic ingredients from the banana tree to create good-for-you products while also reducing food waste. For more than 10 years, we've studied the amazing health and skin benefits of a banana plant from all aspects of the banana plant: fruit, flower, leaf, stem. This led to the scientific discovery of our patented and powerful bio-actives.
Our research also focused on how to transform banana extracts from unsellable bananas into a potent blend of bio-actives using only eco-extraction and the principles of green chemistry. The result? A low waste effective skincare range designed to improve skin health and reduce food waste. Good for you and for Earth.
Yes! The banana is a super fruit with amazing skin benefits that are good for every skin tone and skin type, including sensitive skin. Its unique composition of anti-aging molecules gives it its powerful antioxidant powers to help preserve skin radiance and reduce skin damage.
Bananas and banana peels are a natural alternative to retinol and full of natural anti-aging properties. In fact, they contain more antioxidant power than argan oil and grapeseed oil. Bananas are a great source of vitamin C, potassium, magnesium, B6, and other nourishing vitamins. All of these nutrients and essential vitamins are beneficial for glowing skin.
Antioxidants found in bananas can help to protect your skin from free radicals which cause oxidative stress to skin, which can accelerate the skin aging process. Specifically, free radical damage and oxidative stress can contribute to the loss of collagen and elastin, resulting in fine wrinkles, sagging, and texture changes to the skin. It can also trigger hyperpigmentation and dark spots. The anti aging benefits of banana extract and bioactives can help every skin type and tone look healthier and more radiant.
Called “plant with a thousand uses”, the banana tree has been used for centuries in traditional Caribbean medicine for its exceptional cosmetic and therapeutic properties, including the skincare benefits of anti-aging, radiance, and soothing.

This makes our products sustainable and eco friendly because we are reducing food waste, a contributor to climate change. We offer eco friendly packaging too. And lastly, two additional, great benefits of banana skincare are that it is vegan and cruelty free.
Yes! The nutrients in banana peels have skin benefits. If you have acne-prone skin, this ritual will also allow you to purify and exfoliate your skin. The pulp side of a banana peel, when applied to your skin, can help eliminate impurities and dead skin.

Adding vegan skincare products to your routine can offer a range of benefits for both your own health and for the planet. Like a vegan diet or a vegan lifestyle, vegan skincare products can reduce environmental damage and promote kindness towards animals because they don't use any animal derived ingredients or animal byproducts.
Vegan beauty products are also often seen as gentler for skin, which is an added bonus. Keep in mind though, that you still need to evaluate all your skincare products -- including vegan products - for any allergies you might have.
There are many benefits of a vegan skincare routine, which make it important to consider when selecting which skincare brands you use. Generally, a vegan beauty routine allows you to reap the positive benefits of your skincare routine without compromising animal rights or planet health.
The first is that it is easier to find clean and non-toxic skincare options among vegan beauty brands. By adopting a vegan skincare routine, you can avoid toxins and harmful ingredients. As an example, there are more than 1400 ingredients on Kadalys “made without” list including parabens, phthalates, sulfates, mineral oil, and synthetic fragrances.
Another reason to adopt a vegan beauty routine is that is a kinder routine. It is not necessary to have animal products in your formula to get amazing results and glowing skin. In fact, in clinical tests, Kadalys has demonstrated a higher efficacy than traditional chemical and animal based formulas. So, why not choose a kinder routine with a cruelty free brand like Kadalys?
Further, the use of vegan beauty products is more eco-friendly than the traditional animal agriculture industry. The production process for these goods requires less energy, land, and water which helps save precious resources on our planet.
Sustainability is one of the the reasons why Kadalys focuses on upcycling banana agri-waste as a way to reduce food waste, a leading cause of climate change. We use only sustainably sourced ingredients and adhere to ethical, sustainable, and fair-trade practices. All planters are also shareholders for free trade.
Lastly, a vegan beauty routine will lead to long-lasting skincare results. Non-vegan products often contain harsh chemicals which can irritate skin and harm the environment. Even worse, these materials are sometimes used as fillers meaning they purpose on your skin.
By contrast, vegan skincare products are often formulated with high quality vegan ingredients like minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants, which will help your skin fight conditions like dry skin, dark circles, and fine lines. These vegan ingredients can even help your skin stay healthier for the longer term.
Vegan and cruelty-free are two different things that can sometimes be confused for one another. A vegan product does not necessarily mean it is also a cruelty free product. This is because some companies may test on animals or use animal products in their production process even if their formula is plant based.
Similarly, a product can be cruelty free, which means the brand did not conduct any animal testing, but the product might still contain animal derived materials or by products).
Happily, Kadalys is both a vegan and cruelty free skincare brand. We love our furry friends and would never conduct animal testing. All of our products are certified by Leaping Bunny, One Voice Vegan, and The Vegan Society.
No. You will need to evaluate each skincare brand to ensure they are certified as vegan and cruelty free. Additionally, natural and organic certifications can help you confirm the brand is using high quality ingredients in their products. For example, in addition to be certified by Leaping Bunny and The Vegan Society, Kadalys products are certified as natural and organic by ECOCERT.
You should also consider each brand's clinical data to ensure their vegan friendly products will deliver the skincare benefits and efficacy you seek. Each Kadalys formulations are rigorously tested to ensure they are both safe and effective. After all, the whole point of adopting a vegan skincare routine is to ensure your skin is healthy and glowing.
