Kakadu Plum Liquid Extract is a botanical cosmetic ingredient obtained from the fruit of Terminalia ferdinandiana, an Australian native plant. It is valued in skincare and haircare for its naturally occurring polyphenols and antioxidant compounds. It is suitable for facial serums, brightening serums, toners, essences, moisturizers, eye products, facial masks, lotions, after-sun products and anti-aging formulations.
Uses in Skincare
Kakadu Plum Extract is primarily useful as an antioxidant and skin-conditioning botanical. It can be incorporated into products intended to support brighter, smoother and healthier-looking skin.
Benefit Cosmetic Purpose
Antioxidant Care Helps formulate products designed to protect against visible effects of environmental stress
Brightening Suitable for products targeting dull and uneven-looking skin
Skin Conditioning Helps maintain a soft, smooth and conditioned skin feel
Anti-Aging Care Useful in formulations targeting the appearance of fine lines and premature skin aging
Radiance Suitable for serums and creams designed to promote a fresh, luminous appearance

Uses in Haircare
In haircare, Kakadu Plum Extract can function primarily as a botanical conditioning and antioxidant ingredient.
It can be used in shampoos, conditioners, hair masks, scalp serums, leave-in conditioners and hair treatments. It is particularly appropriate for products marketed toward dry or dull-looking hair, scalp conditioning, improved shine and protection from environmental stressors.
Formulation
Because your extract is a glycerin/water-based liquid, it is suitable for the water phase of cosmetic formulations. For heat-sensitive botanical formulations, it is generally preferable to add it during the cool-down phase, commonly below about 40°C, unless the supplier specifies otherwise.
