Kakadu Plum
When it comes to natural skin care, the Kakadu Plum is a true superhero ingredient. This small, sour fruit is native to Australia's Northern Territory and has been used by Indigenous Australians for its healing properties for millennia. In the world of modern skincare, it's celebrated for its remarkable benefits, and it's a star ingredient in our Kiwi-Kissed Ultra-Nourishing Moisturiser.
What is Kakadu Plum?
Kakadu Plum (Terminalia ferdinandiana) is not just any fruit; it holds the title for the highest recorded levels of vitamin C of any plant in the world—up to 100 times that of oranges. This potency makes it an exceptional ally in vegan skin care and a powerful, cruelty-free skin care staple for those looking for ethical yet effective products.
Kakadu Plum's Skin Benefits
The benefits of Kakadu Plum in skincare are manifold, primarily due to its extraordinary vitamin C content. Here's what this Australian gem can do for your skin:
-
Potent Antioxidant Protection: The high levels of vitamin C in Kakadu Plum make it a potent antioxidant, helping to protect the skin from environmental damage, such as pollution and UV rays, which can lead to premature aging.
-
Boosts Radiant Skin: Vitamin C is also known for its ability to brighten the skin, reduce pigmentation, and enhance skin radiance. Consistent use of products containing Kakadu Plum, like our moisturiser, can lead to a more luminous complexion.
-
Supports Healthy Skin: The fruit is packed with skin-friendly phytonutrients that nourish the skin, supporting its natural barrier and promoting overall skin health.
-
Age-Defying Effects: Kakadu Plum's natural properties can help to stimulate collagen production, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and maintaining the skin's elasticity for an age-defying effect.
-
Versatile for All Skin Types: Due to its natural composition, Kakadu Plum is suitable for all skin types. Whether you're dealing with dry, oily, combination, or sensitive skin, or various skin concerns, this ingredient can be a beneficial addition to your skincare routine.
