With its slender shape and large, hanging leaves, the banana resembles a tree, yet it is actually a giant grass whose only perennial part is an underground stem, or rhizome. Native to Southeast Asia, the banana is now found in tropical regions throughout the world and there are several varieties of banana grown for their fruit, which is eaten green or ripe. Its properties on the skin vary depending on its ripeness: organic green banana extract is produced from unripe fruit which is much firmer than ripe bananas, striking a parallel with its firming properties. In traditional medicine, green banana is used externally for its healing properties.
Skincare benefits of Organic green banana extract
In cosmetics, organic green banana extract promotes the synthesis of type I collagen, the primary component of the dermal extracellular matrix, to help improve skin firmness. It also promotes the synthesis of type V collagen which plays a major role in the dermal structure which can be disrupted by the appearance of stretch marks.
