Ascorbyl Palmitate (Stable Vitamin C)
Brightening, antioxidant, gentle
A fat-soluble form of Vitamin C, Ascorbyl Palmitate, is more stable and less irritating than L-ascorbic acid, making it suitable for daily use in brightening routines.
Banksia Flower
Soothing, hydrating, cell-regenerating
Native to Australia, Banksia is known for its cell-regenerating and moisturizing properties, promoting elasticity and softness. It helps soothe inflammation and provides a luminous glow.
Calendula Extract
Anti-inflammatory, healing, calming
Known for its soothing properties, Calendula is a go-to for irritated, dry, or sensitive skin. It supports skin repair and barrier health while calming redness and discomfort
Desert Lime
Brightening, firming, Vitamin C-rich
This citrus native thrives in the arid Australian outback and is loaded with Vitamin C, ferulic acid, and antioxidants. It helps improve skin elasticity, fade pigmentation, and enhance natural glow.
Emu Apple
Hydrating, antioxidant-rich, anti-inflammatory
Known for its vibrant purple hue, Emu Apple is packed with phyto-compounds and antioxidants that help calm inflammation, hydrate the skin, and fight oxidative stress. It's ideal for sensitive or reactive skin types.
Hyaluronic Acid (HA)
Deep hydration, plumping, barrier-supporting
A staple in modern skincare, Hyaluronic Acid draws moisture into the skin, helping it stay hydrated, plump, and youthful-looking. Ours is vegan-sourced and low molecular weight for deeper absorption.
Kakadu Plum
Rich in natural Vitamin C, brightening, and antioxidant properties
This powerhouse fruit from Northern Australia boasts the highest concentration of Vitamin C in any natural source. It helps brighten the complexion, even skin tone, and protects against environmental stressors. Kakadu Plum supports collagen production, reduces dullness, and boosts radiance.
Papaya Enzymes (Papain)
Gentle exfoliation, smoothing, clarifying
Papaya enzymes offer a natural alternative to chemical exfoliants. They help break down dead skin cells without irritation. This leaves skin soft, smooth, and radiant, making it perfect for congested or breakout-prone skin.
Pineapple Enzymes (Bromelain)
Anti-inflammatory, enzymatic exfoliation, glow-boosting
Bromelain helps to gently dissolve dead skin cells while reducing redness and swelling. It’s especially beneficial for blemish-prone or uneven skin.
Quandong (Native Peach)
Anti-inflammatory, brightening, and wound healing
Rich in Rutin, Vitamin E, and phenolic acids, Quandong supports skin cell regeneration, soothes inflammation, and helps to reduce the appearance of dark spots and uneven texture.
Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A)
Refining, renewing, and anti-aging
This gentler form of retinol helps refine texture, fade fine lines, and speed up cell turnover. Unlike traditional retinoids, it’s suitable for sensitive skin and works synergistically with calming botanicals.
Resveratrol
Anti-aging, antioxidant, protective
Derived from grapes and berries, Resveratrol protects against free radical damage, supports skin firmness, and helps reduce signs of aging by neutralizing environmental stressors
Rosehip Oil
Nourishing, reparative, anti-scarring
Cold-pressed and packed with essential fatty acids and Vitamin A, rosehip oil is beloved for its ability to fade scars, reduce inflammation, and deeply nourish dry or mature skin.
