World’s richest Vitamin C source, at your skin’s service

 

Not many have heard of the kakadu plum (Terminalia ferdinandiana), and yet this little fruit - and its fruit extract - are veritable treasure troves of skin benefits due to their high Vitamin C content. Actually, kakaduplum has the distinction of being the richest known natural source of Vitamin C.

While it may seem like there is a new skincare superfood in the market every other day, the proven benefits of kakadu plum make it stand out from the crowd. This fruit and its extract are considered miracle workers for skin issues like dullness and uneven complexion.

Kakadu Plum: The world’s richest source of Vitamin C that’s essential for skin health 

Kakadu plum is a small, sour fruit native to Australia. Green in colour and a bit like almonds to look at, it is found in northern regions of Australia. The native Aborigine tribes of Australia have revered this fruit for tens of thousands of years!
It is estimated that this fruit contains 55 times the Vitamin C found in an orange! It is also a storehouse of antioxidants and nutrients that keep you healthy and glowing.

Kakadu Plum Extract: All the skin benefits of Kakadu Plums with high convenience

So, kakadu plums grow only in parts of Australia. The chances of getting some fruits for DIY skincare is possible only and only if you live in that geographical region. To fill this gap and to bring you their wholesome skin benefits, we bring skincare products (details towards the end of this blog post) with genuine, high quality Australian kakadu plum extract as their star ingredient.

Kakadu Plum Extract has Vitamin C for skin health

Kakdu plum extract is ultra rich in Vitamin C which is a vital molecule for skin health. To understand how exactly Vitamin C helps your skin, and why it is so revered in the beauty industry, read on.

Vitamin C found in kakadu plums is essential for Collagen synthesis

Vitamin C’s role in collagen synthesis makes it vital for skin health. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. It is the body’s own glue that holds all the body systems and organs together, covered by the skin. It is collagen that keeps your skin firm and your bones strong. Unfortunately, aging, combined with other factors like sun damage, lead to a breakdown of collagen, which in turn leads to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Collagen is essential for keeping your skin firm, healthy and youthful - and Vitamin C, which stimulates collagen synthesis, helps you do just that.

Vitamin C found in kakadu plums is a potent antioxidant

Vitamin C is also a potent antioxidant that helps neutralize harmful free radicals. Free radicals are unstable atoms that can damage skin due to oxidative stress. This can make your skin look dull, tired and aging. Vitamin C, with its free radical-fighting properties, helps protect your skin from signs of damage and keeps your skin cells healthy.

Vitamin C found in kakadu plums is the way to fairer, brighter skin

Troubled by uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation? Vitamin C is a nutrient that can help you get fairer, brighter skin with regular consumption and topical use. Vitamin C lightens tanning that occurs due to exposure to the sun, giving you a fairer and brighter complexion. It also helps inhibit the enzyme tyrosinase, which helps prevent melanin production that leads to darker skin tone.

Traditional beauty uses of kakadu plums

Aborigines, the native tribes of Australia (the continent that’s also the native home of kakadu plums), revere kakadu plums as a sacred fruit and have been using it as a food, medicine and a beauty aid since thousands of years. As a natural anti-inflammatory and antibiotic, it can get rid of bacterially-induced acne, soothe irritated skin, reduce redness and more. Plus, it is so rich in other antioxidants besides Vitamin C too. These not only neutralize free radicals and protect your skin from pollution and environmental damage; they can also brighten your complexion when applied topically.
