Sustainable Skincare made with Banana Science

GOOD FOR YOUR SKIN AND THE PLANET

REDUCING FOOD WASTE, A KEY CONTRIBUTOR TO CLIMATE CHANGE

At Kadalys, we believe products should be made from sustainable resources that contribute to a circular and participatory economy.

Our mission: rescue and upcycle agro-waste and by-products generated by the agro-food industry and in particular the Banana sector of Guadeloupe and Martinique.

Did you know that reducing food waste is one of the top ways to reverse climate change according to Project Drawdown?

Every year, 22 million tons of bananas are thrown away simply because they are “ugly” or misshapen. That's 20% of the world's production!

That's why we give these "forgotten and ugly" bananas a second chance by transforming them into powerful, patented, and proven banana bio-actives.


Now, you can enjoy clinically proven results that let you nourish your skin and help the planet at the same time.

BUILDING A CIRCULAR AND INCLUSIVE ECONOMY

We work closely with the banana growers of Martinique and Guadeloupe to reduce food waste and support their expertise, environmentally friendly practices, and research program for innovation in sustainable agriculture.

This partnership also allows us to maintain the traceability, quality and safety of our key active ingredients derived from bananas.

Finally, our planting partners are shareholders for fair trade, so we have created a circular economy that is lifting up all members of our partnership.
