Quandong: The Desert Peach That Brightens and Protects Skin

Introduction

Australia’s unique environment has produced some of the most powerful botanicals in the world, and Quandong—also known as the Desert Peach—is one of its most treasured. Traditionally used in Indigenous medicine and nutrition, Quandong is rich in antioxidants, Vitamin C, and essential fatty acids that provide remarkable benefits for the skin. At Pt78 Skin and Body, Quandong is a key ingredient in formulas that brighten, protect, and support skin health. In synergy with SkinCeuticals, it offers a routine that blends native wisdom with modern science.

Why Quandong is Powerful in Skincare

Quandong’s nutrient profile makes it a botanical that addresses multiple concerns at once. Its benefits include:

• High Vitamin C content to brighten and even out skin tone

• Potent antioxidants to defend against environmental damage

• Essential fatty acids that keep the skin barrier strong and hydrated

• Anti-inflammatory properties that calm redness and irritation

This combination makes Quandong a multitasking ingredient suited for both everyday hydration and targeted anti ageing routines.

Quandong in Pt78 Skincare

We use Quandong extract across several of our formulations to deliver radiance and antioxidant protection:

• Pt78 Cream Cleanser: Infuses Quandong with Lilly Pilly and Avocado Oil to gently cleanse and nourish.

• Pt78 Matte+ Balancing Moisturiser: Combines Quandong with Licorice Root Extract and Grape Seed Oil for lightweight hydration and shine control.

• Pt78 Illuminate Eye Cream: Harnesses Quandong’s Vitamin C power to reduce puffiness and brighten the delicate under-eye area.

• Pt78 Light + Fair Lightening Serum: Blends Quandong with Kakadu Plum and Marine Collagen to target pigmentation and improve luminosity.

Quandong and SkinCeuticals: A Perfect Match

While Quandong provides powerful natural antioxidants, SkinCeuticals complements it with advanced clinical formulations. Products like the Discoloration Defense and the Glycolic 10 Renew Overnight Cream target pigmentation and support skin renewal, pairing beautifully with the brightening and protective effects of Quandong.

Conclusion

Quandong is more than just a native fruit—it’s a skincare ally that brightens, protects, and restores balance to the skin.
