Kakadu plum (Terminalia ferdinandiana) extract is an Australian native fruit ingredient prized for its exceptionally high vitamin C (ascorbic acid) content along with ellagic acid and other polyphenols, used in skincare for antioxidant protection and brightening. It helps neutralize free radicals and may support a more even-toned complexion.
