Behind the Brand: Blessed Bananas' Clean Beauty Story

What began as a mother’s response to her son’s favorite snack soon ripened into something extraordinary. Inspired by customer demand for cleaner formulations and fueled by an innovative breakthrough in banana oil extraction, Blessed Bananas emerged as a brand that redefines hair care from root to tip. At the heart of their mission? A belief that the foundation of healthy hair is a healthy scalp — and that beauty should be as sustainable as it is effective.

Their Crown of Glory Hair & Scalp Serum, a standout in the Hair Treatment category, has earned a finalist spot in the 10th Clean Beauty Awards, adding a notable accolade to their growing journey.

From Banana Snack to Banana Oil: A Brand is Born

Inspired by her son’s favorite snack and driven by her customers’ demand for cleaner ingredients, founder Nadine Ramos created Blessed Bananas, a clean, sustainable hair care line powered by pure banana oil extracted from local Floridian banana peels. What began as a personal inspiration soon transformed into a solution-focused brand determined to improve hair health naturally — from the scalp up.

Filling a Gap in Hair Care: It Starts at the Scalp

Blessed Bananas was created to address a gap often overlooked in the beauty industry — scalp wellness. By prioritizing the scalp as the foundation of vibrant hair, the brand introduced a premium, clean hair care line designed to nurture, balance, and restore. With the belief that the foundation of healthy hair is a healthy scalp, every product is formulated to support long-term hair vitality.

Guided by Purpose: Clean, Sustainable, and Community-Driven

The brand’s core values are reflected in every product and business decision. From clean, high-quality ingredients to eco-conscious production, Blessed Bananas emphasizes sustainability and community impact. The brand is committed to minimizing environmental harm through responsible practices, while also giving back and supporting causes that matter. It's a brand that’s about more than just great hair — it’s about nurturing a better world.

“The competition is fierce, but by consistently pushing the boundaries of innovation and perfecting our unique formulas, we crafted an unparalleled edge that sets us apart. This commitment to originality and excellence has allowed us to carve out a distinctive niche that remains unreplicable.”
— Nadine Ramos, Founder/CEO

What Sets Blessed Bananas Apart

At the heart of the brand’s innovation is a unique method of extracting banana oil directly from the peel — a part of the fruit often discarded. This allows the brand to harness the full power of the banana in a sustainable way, transforming waste into a rich, natural resource for scalp and hair health. It’s an approach that redefines beauty — and takes eco-conscious formulation to the next level.

A Ripple Effect in the Clean Beauty Community

“Being a part of the Clean Beauty Awards is a huge honor and a true validation of all the hard work and passion that has gone into creating Blessed Bananas.
