From make-up and sweat to sun and chemical damage, your skin takes a beating every day. That's why it's important to care for your skin with ingredients that improve the look of skin without negatively affecting your overall health or the environment.
That's why Kadalys is made from one of nature's most sustainable and under-used ingredients: the banana plant.
For 10 years, our research has focused on how Banana Science can improve skin health while creating a circular economy that helps the environment through inclusive capitalism. Kadalys offers effective, sustainable, high performance skincare that gives back.
KADALYS TREATMENTS: INNOVATIVE AND SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTS BASED ON BIO-INNOVATIVE SCIENCE
We believe in innovative and caring beauty. We're inspired by the latest advances in agronomic, environmental, and biological sciences for creating high-quality, effective beauty products.
We believe that all people have the power to change the world by consuming mindfully. This is why we are committed to becoming the global specialist in upcycling or (waste recycling) by unlocking the power of the banana actives to help skin glow.
Since 2010, we have studied all the by-products generated in the banana industry: the fruit, the flower, the leaf, the stalk, etc. The discovery of the extraordinary virtues of the banana tree led us to create two research programs and to file 3 patents after 10 years of Scientific Research.
OUR PRIORITIES: QUALITY, INTEGRITY, SKIN RADIANCE
The skin's outer layer, the epidermis, acts as a natural barrier limiting water loss. It also shields external aggressors, such as pollution and UV exposure.
Epidermal lipids play a major role in the barrier function of the skin. They form an occlusive film which represents a real "protective barrier" preventing water from evaporating.
To preserve the skin barrier, we have developed oily bio-actives because oily dosage forms allow active ingredients to better penetrate the skin. They help keep the skin deeply hydrated, and they strengthen the skin barrier. These bio-actives unlock power of bananas for skin and hair health.
BANANA SCIENCE AT THE HEART OF HEALTHY SKIN
A healthy skin barrier is critical for glowing skin. Our goal is to create healthy, safe and efficient skincare products that support women and men as their needs change over time. For each stage of the skin aging process, we have developed an effective Banana Bio-active that helps keep skin healthy and radiant.
BANANA OILS FOR RADIANT SKIN
The banana tree's unique lipid composition gives it the properties that promote skin health. Lipids are essential for skin nutrition and hydration because they help maintain softness and suppleness.
Bananas contains precious molecules that help maintain skin radiance:
1 - essential fatty acids :
Omega-3, α-linolenic acid
Omega-6, linoleic acid
-
Omega-9, oleic acid
Unlike Omega-9, which is naturally produced in body tissue, Omega-3 and Omega-6 don't accumulate in the skin. The only way to deliver these nutrients to the skin is to apply them topically.
2 - phytosterols and polyphenols
There are certain sterols that can only be found in the banana tree, thus giving it unique virtues in the plant kingdom.
Phytosterols help strengthen the skin barrier and give a firmer appearance to the skin, making it look more youthful.
Polyphenols block free radicals and help protect cells from oxidative stress, two sources of skin aging.
3 - tocopherols
Tocopherols, or vitamin E, are also capable of neutralizing the aggressive action of free radicals.Their antioxidant role protects them from oxidation. As a result, Tocopherols preserve the skin's beauty and youthful look.
