The Power of Kakadu Plum: Australia's Native Superfruit for Healthy, Radiant Skin

Nature's Most Powerful Source of Vitamin C

For thousands of years, Australia's First Nations peoples have treasured the Kakadu Plum (Terminalia ferdinandiana) for its remarkable nutritional and medicinal properties. Growing wild across Northern Australia, this extraordinary native fruit has become recognised worldwide as one of nature's richest sources of natural Vitamin C, along with an impressive array of antioxidants and skin-supporting phytonutrients.

Today, Kakadu Plum is celebrated throughout the health, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries for its ability to help protect, nourish and revitalise both the body and the skin.

What Makes Kakadu Plum So Special?

Don't let its small size fool you. This pale green fruit is considered one of the world's most nutrient-dense superfruits.

Kakadu Plum naturally contains exceptionally high levels of Vitamin C, together with gallic acid, ellagic acid and powerful antioxidant polyphenols that help defend the skin against environmental stress and premature ageing.

Its seed oil is equally impressive, containing naturally occurring Vitamins A and E, along with Omega-6 and Omega-9 essential fatty acids, including palmitic, stearic, oleic and linoleic acids, which help nourish and support a healthy skin barrier.

Why We Love to apply Water-Based Formula First?

At Kylie’s Professional, we believe skincare should be layered thoughtfully—just as nature intended.

One of the simplest principles we follow is water first, oil second and the option of a moisturiser or balm . I love a balm at night to help lock all the goodness in.

Our Goddessey Skin Nutrition Kakadu Plum Extract Concentrate is a lightweight, water-based formula designed to be the first nourishing step after cleansing. Water-based ingredients absorb beautifully into the skin, delivering hydration and concentrated botanical actives exactly where they’re needed.

Once absorbed, we recommend following with a light facial oil or moisturiser. A light Oil will slowly absorb and help to lock in the hydration by creating a protective barrier, allowing the skin to stay soft, supple and comfortable throughout the day.

Our concentrate combines Australian Kakadu Plum Extract with glycerine, a powerful natural humectant that attracts moisture to the skin. Together, they leave the skin feeling refreshed, hydrated and beautifully prepared for the next steps in your skincare routine.
