DESCRIPTION: Banana Mucin is a biotechnological extraction of the banana fruit with a bifidobacteria strain and enzymes. It is an extraction of the fruit without any added water. Banana is high in natural antioxidants, potassium, and silica. After some weeks, the all that is left is fibre and a viscous mucilage. The fibre is filtered to leave behind a pure crystalline polysaccharide containing natural saponins, antioxidants, mucilages, flavonoids, vitamins (A, B1, B2, and C), bioflavonoids, organic acids, anthocyanins, essential sugars and a fresh natural banana aroma. Which makes Banana Mucin a bioavailable superfood for the skin and the hair.

In hair care, it is prized as a nourishing, softening, and conditioning active. Rich in potassium and silica, conditioning hair with Banana Muscin is able to deeply hydrate and lock in moisture, strengthen and smoothen the keratin strands, giving it long-lasting moisture and sheen. The compounds are small enough to help repair the split ends on damaged hair. Banana Mucin is a hair superfood that can be incorporated into shampoos, conditions, gels, styling aids, etc

In skin care, its benefits are also substantial; it aids collagen synthesis and improves skin elasticity and strength. It also brightens the skin, deeply hydrates it, and helps reduce the appearance of pore size. Banana Lysates are protective and moisturizing, remineralizing and nourishing to the skin
