Terminalia Ferdinandiana (Kakadu Plum) fruit extract is an Australian native botanical exceptionally high in vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and other antioxidants such as ellagic and gallic acids. In skincare it is used to combat free-radical damage, support collagen, and promote a brighter, more even skin tone.
