The Banana Beauty Boom Is Here—And These Are The Best Products To Try

From tomato to strawberry to cherry, the produce aisle has given us some of the most viral beauty aesthetics of the past few years. And if recent launches are anything to go by, this summer is all about bananas. (Sing it with me: B-A-N-A-N-A-S!)

The use of banana to soften and nourish skin and hair in beauty formulas is nothing new—cult classics powered by the humble fruit, like The Body Shop’s Banana Truly Nourishing haircare line and Lush’s Sympathy For The Skin lotion, have been bestsellers for decades. But this year’s banana mania kicked off when Hailey Bieber—queen of the viral food-themed trend—gave it her stamp of approval with the release of the now-sold-out, limited-edition Caramelized Banana Peptide Lip Treatment, a collaboration between her brand Rhode and her husband, Justin. Now, an entire crop of new makeup, skincare and fragrances that embrace the smell and taste of ripe bananas have popped up on the market. This latest fruit obsession is more about playful indulgence than it is about extracting benefits from the ingredient—think gourmand notes inspired by a dessert menu and the sticky-sweet aftertaste of foam banana candy.

Looking for your new fruit-based beauty obsession? We’ve curated the best of the bunch below.

Bath & Body Works Fruit Fusion Banana Blend Perfume Mist

Helmed by Hilary Duff, a.k.a. Lizzie McGuire herself, Bath & Body Works’ new Fruit Fusion collection is equal parts fun and nostalgic. The Banana Blend line features creams, lotions, a lip oil and—the hero SKU—a perfume mist adorned with an adorable detachable charm. The summery scent stars a whipped banana accord paired with amber and vanilla. Lizzie said it best: “This is what dreams are made of.”

Glow Recipe Banana Milk Kit

Just in time for summer, the brand is bringing back its Banana Soufflé Moisture Cream—a calming formula packed with the fruit, as well as turmeric and cica—in a limited-edition kit that also includes a shimmery lip balm inspired by banana milk, an iconic Korean beverage.

Ellis Brooklyn Banana Milkshake Perfume Mist

With notes of banana milk, rum wood and tonka bean, this body mist is as creamy and sweet as the treat it was named after. The fruity opening dries down to a gourmand base with a lactonic twist to reveal the playful scent’s warm and comforting side.

Juliette Has a Gun Banana Rush Eau de Parfum

If you’re yearning for an all-inclusive beach vacation, this juice bottles up that carefree feeling—without the price tag. The summer-ready scent combines the sweetness of an overripe banana with tropical notes of coconut and frangipani flower, while the addition of vanilla and sandalwood makes for a luxurious finish.

Prada Moisturizing Lip Balm in Banana Yellow

This viral sensation, which was endorsed by Sabrina Carpenter in her “Manchild” music video, looks incredibly daring, but don’t worry—it won’t leave you looking like a minion. The colour-changing balm adapts to the pH of your lips to impart a subtle wash of colour and shimmer. The best part? It smells just like banana-flavoured candy.

Kayali Maui in a Bottle Sweet Banana | 37 Eau de Parfum

There’s nothing more summery than a plate of cut-up fruit. This perfume nails relaxed poolside vibes with a sunny blend of banana, pear and coconut that slowly gives way to a floral-gourmand mix of jasmine, sandalwood and vanilla as the day wears on.

Fable & Mane Hydrating Hair Mask

Consider this nourishing mask a healthy snack for your hair. Formulated with vitamin-rich banana to strengthen and soften as well as a blend of shea butter and coconut to repair, it’s a quick-fix for moisture-starved strands. Just let it sit for five minutes, rinse off and bask in the knowledge you’ve got good hair days ahead.

Marc Jacobs Beauty Daisy Murakami Green Eau de Parfum

Looking for a way to add whimsy to your vanity and your fragrance wardrobe?
