"Beauty has gone bananas. Fragrances smell like banana daquiris, lip balms taste like Nesquik milkshakes, and moisturisers call on the fruit's colour-correcting hue. It's surprising bananas don't exactly scream high-fashion but, in today's crowded beauty landscape, formulas must do more than just work. In order to stand out, products should look beautiful, smell beautiful, even taste beautiful. A product must stimulate all the senses. For this, the humble banana is an obvious recruit."
"A decade ago, Glossier's Balm Dotcom swiftly achieved cult status as a hydrating hero for lips and dry skin, thanks to its hard-working cocktail of lanolin, castor oil, beeswax and antioxidants. Meanwhile, New York's Magnolia Bakery is visited from far and wide, famous for its Banana Pudding. Today, the two brands have joined forces to bottle the taste of fresh bananas, vanilla wafers and fluffy vanilla in a delicious collaboration."
Banana-inspired scents, flavors and colours are appearing across beauty categories as brands use the fruit to stimulate sight, smell and taste. Banana motifs include banana-scented and flavored lip salves, yellow-hued balms and fragrances that echo banana sweets and pudding. Glossier's Balm Dotcom and Magnolia Bakery collaboration recreates fresh banana, vanilla wafers and fluffy vanilla in a clear, nourishing salve that tastes like childhood milkshakes. Prada's banana-yellow balm combines bifidus extract and jojoba oil for hydration and leaves a golden lustre. 27 87's Hakuna Matata perfume opens with bergamot and green banana then shifts to ripe banana, jasmine, honey and labdanum for a warm, creamy finish.
