Profile of Shirley Billot, Founder of the Brand Kadalys

Originally from Martinique, Shirley Billot is the founder of the cosmetics brand Kadalys.

It was in 2009, following a general strike against the high cost of living in Martinique, that Shirley realized the island had limited resources, few prospects, and an underdeveloped entrepreneurial landscape. She decided to create a company that would both celebrate her culture and showcase Creole expertise.

Thus, Kadalys was born. The company recycles waste from the banana industry in Guadeloupe and Martinique into high-value cosmetic and nutritional ingredients. After securing several patents, the brand is now primarily distributed in Asia—and soon, in the U.S.

Discover the story of a founder who started with nothing, yet showed determination and perseverance to pursue her dreams. An inspiring journey that will make you want to take the leap into entrepreneurship.
