Kakadu plum (also known as Gubinge, Billygoat Plum or Murunga) is a native tree from Australia, the fruit is wild harvested by indigenous communities exclusively in the Kimberleys, Northern territory and Arnhem land.

Other than being a native Australian extract, why is Kakadu Plum so good for our skin? The key actives and benefits* of Kakadu Plum include:
