The highest concentration of vitamin C of any known natural source - 50 x more than an orange - Australian native Kakadu plum was originally a bush medicine and food source for native Australians.
The high vitamin C concentration is incredibly beneficial in actively stimulating the production of collagen to plump and improve the texture and appearance of skin, reduce hyperpigmentation and even out and brighten skin tone. Super-charged with powerful antioxidants including gallic and ellagic acids, skin elasticity and suppleness is improved and inflammation is reduced, helping to restore skin radiance. Still only wild-grown, wild-foraged and wild- harvested, the sustainable sourcing of Kakadu Plum continues to support preservation of Aboriginal communities, culture and land care.

Native to northwestern Australia to

Macadamia nuts – or seeds - have been traditionally foraged by local Indigenous communities for their highly nutritional benefits and their medicinal and healing properties. Oil from the nuts was also used as a cosmetic base for ceremonial face and body paint. Similar in composition to skin’s own lipids and easily and quickly absorbed, Macadamia nut oil is high in monounsaturated fatty acids, including omegas 6 and 9, palmitic and linoleic acids which are moisturising, softening, and regenerating to help improve the texture and appearance of skin. Macadamia is also rich in anti-inflammatory phytosterols to calm and soothe red and irritated skin.

Native to north eastern NSW and central
Queensland,
