Ingredient Spotlight: Australian Native Kakadu Plum

February 11, 2026

Australian Native Kakadu Plum (Terminalia ferdiandiana) is a fruit native only to Australia. This gorgeous green gem, found from the Kimberley to Cape York, has been valued by indigenous Australians for over 40,000 years, both for its food and medicinal properties. Also known by its indigenous names of billygoat plum, gubinge and murunga.

Primarily used as a food source, it was also used for medicinal purposes. The fruit and bark contain natural antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties and so were used as a balm for burns, cuts, wounds, and rashes. It was also taken internally for colds, flus, and headaches.

Whilst this beautiful fruit is still used today by indigenous communities for both food and medicine, it is also harvested commercially to be sold as a food and used in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.

We utilise it in our Ultimate Biome Spritz, primarily as a natural source of vitamin C, the highest known natural source in the world – containing about 100 times more vitamin C than oranges. In addition to this, its naturally high levels of gallic and ellagic acids offer incredible benefits to skin.

Kakadu Plum provides great benefits for skin including acting as an antioxidant to fight free radical damage, boosting collagen, reducing wrinkles and dark spots, brightening skin tone, and improving hydration, making it essential for anti-aging, protection against sun damage, and promoting a radiant, even complexion.

We source this ingredient from Northern Rivers based business, Native Extracts, whose values align well with ours – sustainability, conscious sourcing and eco-conscious manufacturing.
