Why bananas are used in recipes for home made beauty masks ? The banana is the ‘STAR’ ingredient in recipes, because it is rich in vitamins (A, B2, B6, B12, C, E) and in mineral salts (magnesium, potassium, iron, zinc). The banana contains 75% water and 15 to 25% natural sugars (sucrose, fructose, and glucose) plus proteins and fibres. Also the banana contains 0.3 to 0.6 present of essential oils, malic acid, enzymes, and pectins.

The acids contained in bananas help to get rid of dead cells. The banana contains tryptophan, an amino acid very beneficial for the skin and the hair. The magnesium energises the cells. Cosmetically speaking, the banana hydrates, softens, nourishes and regenerates the skin and the hair.
