Their first product I tried was GLOW RECIPE soothing and hydrating banana cream, originally called Banana soufflé moisture cream. It is intended for all skin types, even sensitive and prone to acne. They recently received dermatological certificates confirming that the cream is non-comedogenic and does not cause acne.

In addition to bananas, the main ingredients are chia seeds, magnesium, turmeric, Centella asiatica (gotu kola) and jojoba oil, which gently hydrates the skin and strengthens its barrier. Jojoba oil is rich in vitamins A, D and E and regulates sebum secretion, so it is suitable for oily skin, especially during the winter months. It also contains hyaluronic acid (Sodium Hyaluronate).

Composition:

Aqua / Water / Eau, Glycerin, Coconut Alkanes, Squalane, Propanediol, Pentylene Glycol, Butylene Glycol, Cetearyl Alcohol, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Musa Sapientum (Banana) Water, Magnesium PCA, Centella Asiatica (Extra Gotu Kola) Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract, Salvia Hispanica (Chia) Seed Extract, Bisabolol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Salvia Miltiorrhiza Root Extract, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Fruit Extract, Melia Azadirachta Flower Extract, Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extractis, Altha Extract, Ocimum Sanctum Leaf Extract, Corallina Officinalis Extract, Ocimum Basilicum (Basil) Flower / Leaf Extract, Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Leaf Juice, Capryloyl Glycerin / Sebacic Acid Copolymer, Acrylates / C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate-Crosspolymer Caprate, Diheptyl Succinate, Caprylyl Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Hexylene Glycol, Xanthan Gum, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate / Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate, Sodium Hydroxid e, Phenoxyethanol, Flavor / Aroma *. * Natural Fragrance

Banana is rich in magnesium and potassium, vitamin B and amino acids. Magnesium is a mineral that soothes and restores balance to irritated and inflamed skin and helps keep the skin barrier healthy, while potassium soothes irritations and hydrates. Gotu kola (Centella Asiatica) is known for its healing effect on dry, irritated and sensitive skin, while turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties, is rich in antioxidants, helps soothe redness, and balances and evens out skin tone.

The scent of the cream comes from banana water, the texture is creamy and is instantly absorbed. However, it is not nourishing enough for my skin, even with repeated application, so I had to use a serum before the cream and add a few drops of lettuce oil at the end.

If you have dry skin, self-application in winter will not be enough, but in summer it could suit you. I’ll save it and try again as soon as it warms up a bit.

GLOW RECIPE banana cream is reminiscent of Kraš’s Bananko chocolate.
