WHAT IS UPCYCLED BEAUTY?
Upcycling allows for the reuse of ingredients that would otherwise have been waste. Spoiled foods in landfills are a significant source of methane, a greenhouse gas with a higher global warming potential than carbon dioxide. That's why it's so important to find value in plant-based ingredients. By harnessing the power of nutrients and vitamins in food waste, we can create highly effective upcycled ingredients.
Katonah utilizes sustainably sourced pineapple leftovers from a jam facility in Milagros, Ecuador. The production of pineapple jam incorporates an estimate of 35% of a pineapple. By using the leftover skin, Katonah's Pineapple-UP-GL harnesses the rich extract potential of what would have been waste.
