Explained

Terminalia Ferdinandiana Seed Oil is from the Kakadu plum seed. The Kakadu plum is native to northern Australia. The Kakadu plum holds the record for having the highest amount of natural vitamin C.

Like other plant oils, Kakadu Plum Seed Oil is an emollient. As an emollient, it helps hydrate the skin by creating a film that traps moisture in. This helps keep your skin hydrated.

The Kakadu Plum is an antioxidant. Antioxidants help fight free-radical molecules. Free-radical molecules are capable of damaging our cells and other genetic material. Antioxidants help stabilize free-radicals and thus may reduce the signs of aging.

The high vitamin C content of Kakadu plum also helps lighten skin. Vitamin C has been shown to block the process of skin darkening that leads to hyperpigmentation.

Kakadu plums have been used by indigenous cultures as medicine to help treat colds and as an antiseptic.
