Repurposed Banana Body Products

This Limited Body Shop Body Butter Upcycles "Wonky" Bananas

The Body Shop body butter products are made with a wide range of botanical ingredients and its newest, limited-edition creation makes the most of "wonky bananas." The Banana Nourishing Body Butter, along with the Banana Body Polish and the Banana Body Yogurt, helps to repurpose bananas that won't sell to the fruit industry due to their imperfect shape or size. The waste-reducing banana products all feature organic banana puree to deeply moisturize the skin and leave it looking and feeling both soft and smooth.

While The Body Shop released a range of banana-themed body care products just last year, this range boasts playful limited-edition packaging that emphasizes the inclusion of repurposed bananas. The base of the skin-nourishing product features shea butter.
