Terminalia ferdinandiana (Kakadu plum) extract is derived from an Australian native fruit exceptionally rich in vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and ellagic acid, used in skincare for its antioxidant and skin-brightening properties. It helps neutralize free radicals and may support collagen synthesis and a more even skin tone.
