Recently the native Australian active Kakadu Plum has been getting a lot of attention from the beauty and wellness industry. So what is it and why is it causing such a buzz?
We caught up with Australian Natural Beauty Expert Belinda Hughes to explore the many benefits to this Australian super-food.
Kakadu Plum is a traditional Aboriginal bush food, native to Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory. Kakadu Plum has been used by Indigenous Australians for thousands of years as a healing remedy and traditional antiseptic.
Science has recently identified that this ancient Indigenous bush food is one of the world’s richest natural sources of Vitamin C. Vitamin C is one of the three key antioxidants (the others being vitamin A and E) that are essential to holistic natural skincare.
Vitamin C is vital for the formation of proline, an amino acid that stimulates the production of collagen. It helps improve overall skin texture, detoxifies the skin, reduces wrinkles and repairs skin damage caused by UV rays and free radicals.
Kakadu Plum is full of anti-oxidants to helps stimulate skin suppleness and elasticity, balancing your complexion and making it ideal for acne or breakout prone skin. For skin that needs purifying try using a natural exfoliant containing Kakadu Plum, like Burt’s Bees Exfoliating Clay Mask. This clay mask absorbs excess oil and extracts dirt from pores, leaving skin with a smooth, glowing complexion.
