Kakadu Plum (Terminalia ferdinandiana) fruit extract is a botanical ingredient prized for its exceptionally high vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and polyphenol content, used in skincare to provide antioxidant protection and support brightening. It helps neutralize free radicals and may contribute to a more even skin tone.
