Harm score: 1 (Natural substances)
Terminalia Ferdinandiana, known worldwide as Kakadu plum or Kakadu plum, is a tree growing in the subtropics of Australia, specifically in the Kimberley region and the ending parts of the Northern Territory. It is also sometimes called the Ferdinand's Peak. This plant is especially sought after for its fruits, which are rich in vitamin C, even containing more of this vitamin than any other fruit. They are also very rich in iron, fibre and calcium. It is their unique and specific vitamin C content that has made this plant so popular not only among the local population, who have been eating the fruit for centuries, but also in the world of cosmetics.
The Kakadu plum is used in a wide range of products, including food, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. In the food industry, the fruit is used to make jams, drinks, sauces and toast. In the pharmaceutical industry, its possible antioxidant and anti-cancer effects are being investigated. In the world of cosmetics, the Kakadu plum is highly valued. Its extract is used in skin creams, masks and serums, mainly for its ability to increase collagen production, protect the skin from sun damage and improve its overall appearance and texture. Its powerful moisturising and smoothing effects make it one of the favourite ingredients in the cosmetics industry.
