I have an incredible passion for Australian wildcrafted ingredients and one of my absolute favourites is Kakadu Plum Oil. Also referred to as ‘Gubinge, Billygoat Plum or Murunga’, this powerhouse fruit is grown natively in Northern Australia, The Kimberleys and Arnhem Land. Used for years by Indigenous communities for its medicinal healing properties, Kakadu Plum Seed Oil offers an extensive list of benefits for the skin. Grown free from human intervention, this beautiful wildcrafted ingredient is harvested in an environmentally friendly manner to protect its pristine natural habitat.

We love using Kakadu Plum oil in skincare for it’s anti-ageing, brightening, antioxidant and soothing properties. Kakadu Plum oil can be found in Our No.3 Exotic Goddess Ageless Serum and & Snowflower Illuminating Face Oil. Read on to learn more about Kakadu Plum oil benefits, and how to incorporate it in your skincare regime.

What are the skincare benefits of Kakadu Plum Seed Oil?

High levels of Vitamin C to improve skin quality

Well known for their incredibly high vitamin content, Kakadu Plums contain over 3000mg of Vitamin C per 100g of fruit1. That’s a Vitamin C concentration 50% higher than oranges!

When used in natural skincare products, this supercharged ingredient works to stimulate the production of collagen and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Vitamin C is also effective at reducing the appearance of scarring or hyperpigmentation as it naturally lightens the complexion.

Antioxidant rich to fight free radicals

Rich in antioxidants, this superfruit detoxifies the skin and fights off free radical damage caused by environmental factors such as pollution or sun exposure. Found in some of the most remote areas of Australia, Kakadu Plums have an extremely rare antioxidant profile. These harsh growing conditions mean each plum develops a highly efficient defence mechanism made up of diverse antioxidants

Naturally antibacterial to balance acne prone skin

Containing the phytochemicals gallic and ellagic acids, Kakadu Plums oil has long been sought after for its antifungal and antibacterial properties. While gallic acid works to restore the skin’s natural barrier, ellagic acid encourages skin elasticity and suppleness. Ideal for acne or breakout prone skin, the oil extracted from these plums help to balance the complexion.

Soothes irritation to reduce sensitivity

If you struggle with skin that’s prone to sensitivity, Kakadu Plum oil is deeply soothing. Containing gallic acid (a natural anti-inflammatory), this botanical ingredient helps to reduce redness, inflammation and irritation.

How can you incorporate Kakadu Plum Oil into your skincare routine?

My favourite way to incorporate Kakadu Plum Seed Oil into any skincare routine is through a targeted facial serum or oil. Our No.3 Exotic Goddess Ageless Serum is the ultimate youth and beauty booster containing a unique blend of wildcrafted botanicals. Hydrating, smoothing and plumping, this serum is ideal for applying after you cleanse and tone. Containing supercharged ingredients including Kakadu Plum, Hyaluronic Acid and Edelweiss, your skin will be left more youthful and restored

If you’re looking to really get your glow back, I would also recommend introducing our & Snowflower Illuminating Face Oil into your daily routine.

You can apply this collagen boosting oil twice daily after cleansing or massage into any areas of the body that’s lacking moisture. My top tip?
