Founded by Verónica Díez and Rodrigo Folgueira, the company makes ecological, vegan, and cruelty-free personal care products that are free of endocrine disruptors.

Banbu will use the funds to boost production capacity, expand its product catalogue, and accelerate growth across digital and physical sales channels.

Why now? Consumer demand for healthier, lower-impact personal care products is rising fast. Banbu has carved out a niche in solid cosmetics, hair care, oral hygiene, deodorants, and facial products — all in low-waste, refillable, or plastic-free formats.
