From Parched to Plump: Best Moisturiser Routine with Kakadu Plum

If your skin feels tight, flaky, or dull, you’re not alone. Dry skin can be frustrating, but the solution might be closer than you think.

The humble Kakadu Plum (Terminalia ferdinandiana), Australia’s native superfruit, is rich in Vitamin C, ellagic acid, and polyphenolic compounds that revive even the thirstiest complexions.

Recognised as bush tucker and valued in traditional medicine by Traditional Owners, this botanical wonder is more than a fruit, it’s a cultural and skincare treasure. When paired with skin-loving ingredients like Jojoba Oil, Kakadu Plum extract can take your moisturiser routine from parched to plump.

Why Kakadu Plum is the Game-Changer for Dry Skin

Kakadu Plum isn’t just another skincare trend, it’s one of the most powerful natural sources of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) in the world. Here’s why it works wonders:

• Rich in Vitamin C: With up to 100 times more Vitamin C than oranges, Kakadu Plum brightens skin, boosts collagen production, and acts as a natural Vitamin C skin protector.
• Ellagic Acid and Gallic Acid for Protection: These bioactive compounds defend against oxidative stress and reduce collagen breakdown.
• Antioxidant Properties: Its strong antioxidant capacity neutralises free radicals and supports healthy cell viability.
• Traditional Use: Indigenous culture has used Kakadu Plum in bush medicine, food preservation, and as a skin protector for centuries.

The Power of Pairing Kakadu Plum with Jojoba Oil

A face moisturiser is only as good as its ingredient synergy. Jojoba Oil is a natural emollient that mimics your skin’s own sebum, locking in hydration without clogging pores. When blended with Kakadu Plum extract:

• Moisture is sealed in for longer-lasting hydration.
• Skin feels soft, supple, and nourished.
• You benefit from Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and polyphenolic compounds.
• Together, these bioactive compounds deliver antimicrobial activity and anti-inflammatory activity to keep skin calm and healthy.

This duo creates the ultimate nourishment face moisturiser for dry, mature skin.

You will find this powerful ingredient mix in our Kakadu Plum Hydrating Face Cream & Kakadu Plum Dream Night Cream. You can check out our duo pack of Kakadu Plum Face Creams by clicking here.
