Abstract This review looks at how banana peel, which is mostly treated as waste, actually holds many useful properties. Studies show that it contains good amounts of nutrients and several bioactive compounds that can help in health-related areas. Banana peel has been found to show antimicrobial, antioxidant and even anticancer effects, which makes it useful in food, medicine and cosmetic industries. Along with this, its ability to support skin health and reduce environmental waste adds more value to it. As new methods of extraction and processing continue to improve, the practical use of banana peel is likely to increase even more in the future. Overall, this review highlights that banana peel is not just a waste material but a promising natural resource with multiple applications.
