Terminalia ferdinandiana (Kakadu Plum) extract is an Australian native fruit extract exceptionally high in vitamin C (ascorbic acid) along with ellagic acid and other polyphenols, used in skincare for its antioxidant and brightening properties. It helps neutralize free radicals and may support a more even skin tone.

Erythema (redness) | Rare | Transient and typically resolves after discontinuation |
Allergic contact dermatitis | Very rare | Sensitization to plant-derived components is possible in predisposed individuals |
