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.

I'm often being asked about Retinol and whether or not I would recommend it. Firstly, let me explain what it is and what it does. Retinol improves skin texture and fights signs of aging by speeding up cell turnover and boosting collagen production.
Main Benefits of Retinol
Reduces fine lines and wrinkles: It stimulates collagen and elastin production to plump the skin and smooth out lines.
Accelerates skin cell turnover: It helps the skin shed dead cells faster, revealing a fresher, brighter, and smoother surface.
Evens skin tone: It reduces melanin production to help fade dark spots, hyperpigmentation and sun damage.
As much as I would love everyone to just empty the contents of their beauty cabinet and start fresh, it’s not practical or affordable for many. So given that one of the most common questions I get asked is ‘where should I start when transitioning to organic skincare’, I wanted to lay out my recommendations.
When going organic, I think it’s good to know not only what to start buying but why. That way you can make informed decisions and know that you’re heading in the right direction.
Lying in bed at 3am, desperate for sleep for come over me, is not how I expected to be spending my Thursday nights. But this is how it seems to be at 45. I’m hot, I’ve taken Panadol about 3 hours earlier to no avail, and I’m hearing every animal noise outside my window (which on other nights I would have slept through). I hate this.
