Origin

Banana fruit extract, or Musa Sapientum Fruit Extract (INCI name), is naturally derived from bananas - fruits native to tropical regions. They are crushed and soaked in a suitable solvent, often water or glycerin, to extract the beneficial compounds. The mixture is then filtered to remove solid particles, resulting in a concentrated liquid extract. This extract may undergo further processing, such as filtration or centrifugation, to refine and purify it for cosmetic use.
