Balbisiana Body Butter

Most body butters are designed primarily to make dry skin feel softer. Balbisiana Body Butter goes much further.

We formulated it with the types of high-performance ingredients normally reserved for facial skincare, including patented banana sap, hyaluronic acid, squalane, baobab oil, millet seed extract, and barrier-supporting lipids. Together, they help deeply hydrate, support collagen production, improve elasticity, reinforce the skin barrier, and address the appearance of crepey or thinning skin.

Think of it as facial-grade skincare for the rest of your body: indulgent enough to feel like a body butter, but active enough to work like a treatment.

Banana sap is Tano's patented, first-of-its-kind skincare ingredient. In third-party laboratory testing, it increased the production of multiple types of collagen, including an increase of up to 324% over baseline in Type III collagen production.

It also demonstrated collagenase inhibition, which means it may help protect collagen from the enzymes that naturally break it down. Additional testing showed antioxidant activity, significant reduction of inflammation, and improved skin-barrier health.

In simple terms, banana sap helps support the structures that keep skin looking firm, smooth, healthy, and resilient, without relying on retinol or other harsh actives.

Banana sap may be the hero, but it is only one part of what makes this formula different from a traditional body butter.

Balbisiana Body Butter combines facial-grade actives and premium skin-supporting ingredients, including:

• Hyaluronic acid to attract and hold moisture, helping skin look plumper and feel less dry
• Squalane to replenish skin-compatible lipids and soften without a heavy, greasy finish
• Baobab oil to nourish dry skin with fatty acids and support softness and elasticity
• Millet seed extract to support the appearance of firmer, more resilient skin
• Oak extract to provide antioxidant support and help defend against environmental stress
• Shea butter and coconut-derived emollients to restore comfort and support the skin's protective barrier

The result is a formula that delivers both immediate softness and longer-term skin support. It is body care built more like a facial treatment, not simply a blend of heavy butters and oils.

Balbisiana Body Butter was specifically designed for concerns such as crepey texture, dryness, and loss of elasticity.

Crepey skin is not only a moisture problem. It can also involve a weakened skin barrier and changes in the collagen and elastin structures beneath the surface. That is why this formula combines rich moisturizers with collagen-supporting banana sap, plumping hyaluronic acid, elasticity-supporting millet seed extract, and skin-compatible lipids.

No topical product can permanently reverse every cause of crepey skin, but consistent use can help skin appear smoother, more hydrated, firmer, and better supported.

You should notice softer, smoother, more comfortable skin beginning with the first application. Shea butter, squalane, baobab oil, and hyaluronic acid immediately help replenish moisture and reduce the dry, tight feeling associated with a weakened skin barrier.

Changes in the appearance of texture, elasticity, and firmness require consistent use because those benefits depend on improving the overall condition of the skin rather than temporarily coating its surface.

For the best results, apply daily and evaluate changes over several weeks.

Everyday Body Lotion is the better choice for lightweight, head-to-toe hydration and generous daily use. Balbisiana Body Butter is richer, more concentrated, and designed as a targeted treatment for areas needing additional support.

Choose the Body Butter for concerns such as crepey arms, dry legs, knees, elbows, the chest, neck, stomach, or areas affected by changes in age or weight.

Many customers use both: Everyday Body Lotion as their daily all-over moisturizer and Balbisiana Body Butter on high-need areas or as an intensive nighttime treatment.

No. The formula is cruelty-free, but it contains beeswax produced in the United States, so it is not classified as vegan.

The beeswax helps reinforce the rich texture, reduce moisture loss, and create a protective, conditioning layer over dry skin.

Yes. Sensitive skin is one of the main reasons Tano exists.

Tano formulas go through extensive safety and stability testing, including HRIPT testing, and are reviewed by our medical advisor. They’re built to deliver visible change without overwhelming the skin.

Many of our customers came to Tano because other “anti-aging” products left them red, dry, or irritated. If you read our reviews, you’ll see this theme over and over: skin that finally feels calm, comfortable, and supported, while still improving in how it looks.

We always recommend patch testing, but Tano was built for long-term, daily use, even for reactive skin types.

Tano products are extensively safety and stability tested and medically reviewed as part of our development process.

While skincare is personal and dermatologists will always differ, our approach is rooted in medical-grade formulation standards, not trend-driven cosmetics. Our focus from day one has been skin function first, aesthetics second.

Tano products are formulated without retinoids and without many of the ingredients people are commonly told to avoid during pregnancy.

They are designed to support skin comfort, hydration, and resilience and have been thoroughly safety reviewed and tested. Many customers choose Tano specifically during pregnancy because it offers performance without harshness.

As always, we recommend confirming any skincare routine with your healthcare provider.

No. Tano products are cruelty-free and are not tested on animals.

Tano began with an injury, not a product idea.

After a childhood accident that nearly cost our founder his leg, banana sap was used in a remote setting to stop the bleeding and protect the wound. That experience never left him.

Years later, it turned into an obsession. Tano originally started as a medical research effort focused on wound environments, burns, and first-aid applications. The goal was to understand how banana sap interacted with skin under extreme stress.

As the research evolved, something unexpected emerged. Banana sap was powerfully activating pathways tied to collagen production, barrier function, and skin recovery.

Skincare wasn’t the plan. It became the inevitable direction.

Today, Tano operates as natural clinical-grade skincare, built to support how skin actually functions. We bridge the gap between gentle-but-ineffective and effective-but-harsh. Every formula is rooted in biological performance, not trends.

Banana sap is the living, nutrient-rich fluid found inside banana plants, specifically the “trunk” of the tree.

Tano uses whole, raw banana sap, not isolated compounds. Through a proprietary stabilization process, we preserve its activity so it can be safely used in skincare without stripping away what makes it biologically interesting.

This work led Tano to formally register banana sap as a cosmetic ingredient and to build patented methods around how it can be used in formulations.

Tano was the first company to research, register, and build cosmetic applications around banana sap.

Our patents cover methods for using banana sap in skincare systems, including how it can be stabilized and formulated. This protects Tano’s ability to continue developing unique products around this ingredient long-term.

Only Banana Balance Cleanser and Balbisiana Body Butter contain fragrance.

Age Well Face Cream, Everyday Body Lotion, and Reformulate Serum are fragrance-free.

When we do use fragrance, it comes from Sozio, a world-class fragrance house known for strict safety and regulatory standards that meet or exceed EU requirements. The scent is subtle, skin-appropriate, and designed to fade quickly after application.

Many customers who normally avoid fragrance still comfortably use these formulas.

This is one of the most common reasons people find Tano.

A large portion of our customers come from routines that left their skin irritated, inflamed, or constantly “recovering.” In our reviews, you’ll consistently see people talk about how their skin finally feels calm, balanced, and strong, not just moisturized.

Our internal research showed banana sap interacts with biological pathways related to barrier support and inflammation regulation. That’s why Tano tends to work so well for people whose skin doesn’t tolerate conventional actives.

Tano doesn’t numb the skin. It supports it.

Tano is not positioned as a medical treatment. But this is one of the most common experiences customers share with us.

Many people with eczema-prone, reactive, or historically “difficult” skin say Tano is the first product they’ve used consistently without flare-ups. Our research showed activity in pathways tied to barrier function and inflammatory response, which aligns closely with what customers report feeling and seeing.

We always recommend patch testing and consulting a professional for diagnosed conditions, but real-world feedback here has been one of the strongest signals we’ve seen.

Yes. And not just for one stage of life.

As skin changes, whether from stress, hormones, environment, or time, its core needs become very similar: stronger barrier, better hydration, improved resilience, and support for collagen production.

Customers across many life stages talk about smoother texture, more comfortable skin, and visible improvements in firmness and fine lines. People dealing with hormonal shifts often mention that Tano feels like something their skin can finally tolerate while still delivering visible change.

In lab testing, banana sap showed strong collagen-supporting activity. In real life, customers most often describe smoother skin, softer fine lines, and skin that feels more resilient and supported.

This is one of the most consistent themes across our reviews: skin that not only looks better, but behaves better.

“Tano” comes from the second half of the word plátano, meaning banana or plantain.

It reflects both the origin of our hero ingredient and our belief that powerful skincare can come from overlooked natural sources when approached with rigor, patience, and respect.

Tano defines natural clinical-grade skincare.

We exist between traditional natural brands, which are often gentle but limited, and conventional clinical brands, which are often powerful but harsh.

Tano is built to deliver clinical-level performance through biologically supportive, naturally derived systems.

Tano stands for building products with integrity, patience, and biological respect.

We don’t chase trends. We invest in ingredient research, extensive testing, and formulation depth. Every product is built to support how skin actually functions, not just how it appears.
