Why Kakadu Plum is Australia’s Superfruit for Skincare

Introduction

When it comes to natural skincare, few ingredients are as powerful—or as uniquely Australian—as Kakadu Plum. Known as the world’s richest natural source of Vitamin C, this native fruit has been used for centuries by Indigenous Australians for its healing properties. Today, it’s one of the hero ingredients in many of our Pt78 Skin and Body formulations, offering unmatched antioxidant benefits for anti ageing, hydration, and overall skin vitality.

The Science Behind Kakadu Plum

Kakadu Plum contains up to 100 times more Vitamin C than oranges, making it one of the most potent antioxidants in nature. Vitamin C is a key ingredient in skincare because it:

• Boosts collagen production for firmer, smoother skin

• Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

• Brightens dull skin and evens out tone

• Protects against oxidative stress caused by pollution and UV exposure

By pairing Kakadu Plum with other natural actives, Pt78 serums and moisturisers harness its full potential to deliver results you can see and feel.

Kakadu Plum vs. Global Alternatives

Globally recognised skincare brands like SkinCeuticals have long embraced the power of Vitamin C in formulations such as C E Ferulic. But Kakadu Plum gives Pt78 products a unique advantage: a natural, sustainable, and local source of Vitamin C that works synergistically with other Australian botanicals. By combining this native extract with cutting-edge formulations, Pt78 bridges the gap between traditional plant wisdom and modern skincare science.
