The power of plants
With its slender shape and large, hanging leaves, the banana resembles a tree, yet it is 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 worldwide. There are several varieties of bananas grown for their fruit, which is eaten green or ripe. In traditional medicine, green banana is used externally for their healing properties.
Skincare benefits of Organic green banana extract
In cosmetics, organic green banana extract promotes the synthesis of collagen and helps to improve skin firmness.
