Kakadu Plum: The Ingredient You Need in Your Skincare Regime

AUSTRALIA'S NATIVE SUPERFRUIT

Originally discovered in the UNESCO World-Heritage listed Kakadu National Park in Northern Australia, the Kakadu Plum (Terminalia ferdinandiana) is classified as a superfruit thanks to its extraordinary composition of vitamins and antioxidants.

Recognised globally as the fruit with the highest recorded levels of natural Vitamin C, the Kakadu Plum also contains large amounts of polyphenols (mainly gallic and ellagic acids) with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, plus vitamins E and A, offering an impressive list of skin and health benefits.

HISTORICAL USE

For thousands of years, local indigenous communities have drawn upon the nutrient-rich Kakadu Plum as both a food and medicine, serving as a traditional source of bush tucker, or pound into a natural antiseptic and soothing balm for aching limbs.

ENVIRONMENT

With an extremely high sun index, Kakadu is home to some of the toughest climatic conditions in the world, annually exposing the Kakadu Plum to harmful sun rays and harsh growing conditions. The fruits have consequently developed a highly efficient self-defense system to survive. This system is made up of a combination of powerful antioxidants to protect the fruits against UV radiation and a violent free radical attack and is what makes the Kakadu Plum the natural powerhouse it is today.

HARVESTING

Kakadu Plums are sustainably hand‐picked from their natural environment by small local teams on foot from April to June each year, in an area close to the Kakadu National Park. The ingredient is then extracted from the entire fruit through a gentle water‐based process preserving the quality of the antioxidant components. 

VITAMIN C BRIGHTENS SKIN TONE & IMPROVES SKIN QUALITY

With over 5000mg of Vitamin C per 100g of fruit, the Vitamin C concentration of the Kakadu Plum measures up to 100x higher than that found in an orange, the highest recorded levels of Vitamin C of any fruit in the world.

Vitamin C actively lightens the skin by reducing the production of the skin's natural pigment – melanin, which over time, provides a brighter and more even skin tone.

This super-antioxidant also plays a vital role in stimulating the production of collagen, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improving the quality of the skin for a smoother appearance.

ANTIOXIDANTS FIGHT FREE RADICAL DAMAGE

Harsh growing conditions have forced the Kakadu Plum to develop a highly efficient self-defence system made up of a combination of powerful antioxidants to protect the fruits against UV radiation and free radical attack.

Between the increase in exposure to harsh UV rays thanks to climate change, pollution, and the effects of technology, our skin is regularly exposed to a wide variety of elements that fast-forward the clock on a natural, youthful glow.

This powerful combination of antioxidants protects the integrity of the skin by fighting off damaging free radicals that are created in the skin as a result of exposure to these elements.

ANTIBACTERIAL PROPERTIES BALANCE BREAKOUT-PRONE SKIN

Kakadu Plums contain large amounts of polyphenols, mainly gallic and ellagic acids, with powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties that restore balance to the skin.

These impressive properties help to remove acne-causing bacteria and flush out impurities to restore the skin’s natural barrier and encourage skin elasticity and suppleness.

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY PROPERTIES CALM & SOOTHE SKIN

Naturally rich in Vitamin C, gallic, and ellagic acids, the Kakadu Plum is perfect for sensitive skin. The deeply soothing extract is known to calm irritated skin helping to reduce redness and inflammation.

It’s high Vitamin C content also helps skin to recover from sensitives and redness from overexposure to the sun or inflammatory skin concerns.
