About
Banana fruit — a pulp-derived botanical rich in sugars and vitamins, used for softening and conditioning. Edible and generally very gentle.
Musa paradisiaca (banana) fruit contributes sugars, pectin, potassium, vitamins A, C, and B6, and low levels of starch. In cosmetics it functions as a skin conditioning and moisturizing agent, often in masks and leave-on emulsions. EU CosIng lists it without restriction. Extensive food use supports a low-risk profile; latex-fruit syndrome can rarely cause cross-reactions in natural-rubber-latex-allergic users.
