Why skincare loves Kakadu plum

Vitamin C is one of the most used ingredients in modern skincare, and Kakadu plum carries the highest recorded natural vitamin C content of any fruit on earth. Our own Kakadu plum powder, inside every capsule, is laboratory-tested at 12.1% natural vitamin C. That’s why the little green fruit from Australia’s north now appears in products around the world.

Looking for vitamin C for skin from a natural source? There are two ways to use Kakadu plum: eat it as a food, or choose skincare that contains it. Both are below.

Vitamin C is just one of the fruit’s natural compounds. It also carries vitamin E, lutein and a whole family of tannins. The full list: Kakadu plum benefits

From the inside: eating your vitamin C

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient your body can’t make — it has to come from food. Many people simply add Kakadu plum to what they already eat: a spoonful in a smoothie, a sprinkle on breakfast — or the no-fuss option, our Kakadu Plum Capsules (140 × 500mg of pure farm-grown powder).

Kakadu plum, vitamin C and collagen

Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin. Our Kakadu plum is lab tested at 121mg of natural vitamin C in every gram, which is 60mg in every capsule.

From the outside: on your skin

Two easy ways to put Kakadu plum on your skin:

1. The simple DIY way — mix a small amount of powder with plain yoghurt or honey for a weekend face mask. Patch-test first, as with any new skincare. Our capsules are an easy way to get the Kakadu plum powder: twist one open — that’s 500mg of the same freeze-dried Kakadu plum, ready to mix straight in.

2. The ready-made way — Kakadu plum is one of the ingredients we blend into our own Paw Paw Face Cream, alongside 30% paw paw extract and hyaluronic acid, on an organic aloe vera base instead of water. Lightweight, hydrating, made in Australia.
