Terminalia Ferdinandiana, commonly known as Kakadu Plum, is a flowering plant belonging to the Combretaceae family. This Australian native superfood has become an increasingly popular ingredient within beauty & skincare products as a result of its high levels of natural vitamin C!
Kakadu Plum can easily be distinguished by its oval-shaped appearance, which contains a large seed and turns bright yellow when ripe. Historically used by Indigenous communities for it’s healing properties, the fruit is recognised as a modern-day miracle in the beauty world!What are the benefits of Kakadu Plums?
Commonly found in the North of Australia, Kakadu Plum is a natural source of a variety of vitamins, antioxidants and nutrients. Having a significant Vitamin C content and soothing anti-bacterial properties, Kakadu Plum is increasingly used across skincare and makeup products, due to its promotion of health benefits:
- Anti-aging: The extract from the fruit contains high levels of vitamin C and E, carotenoids and folic acid, which all work to reduce the signs of aging. In addition, Kakadu Plum protects the skin from UV rays, further promoting anti-aging results.
- Anti-bacterial: Containing gallic acid and ellagic acid, kakadu plum works to calm irritated skin while strengthening the outer barrier due to its antibacterial properties. The ellagic acid additionally works to discourage melanogenesis which allows for a more even skin tone. The increased vitamin C content further contributes to overall skin health as it assists in reducing redness caused by various factors, specifically harmful effects of the sun.

Detoxifies and flushes out toxins in the skin: Kakadu Plum is rich in the natural nutrient gallic acid, being a phenolic acid which works to keep environmental toxins out by protecting against free radical damage. The acid effectively safeguards the skin by further building up the protective barrier to prevent free radical attacks from causing dehydration and aging.
