Functions

Skin Conditioning

A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.

Antioxidant

Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.

Humectant

A moisture magnet. Pulls water from the air and deeper skin layers up to the surface to keep skin plump and hydrated.

Anti-Inflammatory

Boosts Collagen

Softens and smooths skin

Traditional Use

Similar to banana fruit extract, the pulp has been traditionally mashed and applied topically in indigenous and folk beauty practices for its moisturizing and skin-softening properties.
