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.

| Mild transient stinging or tingling | Uncommon | May occur on application due to high natural vitamin C/acid content, especially on sensitive or compromised skin. |
| Skin irritation or redness | Rare | Possible in sensitive individuals or at high concentrations. |
| Allergic contact dermatitis | Very rare | Botanical extracts can occasionally trigger hypersensitivity; patch testing is advisable. |
