Referred to as ‘Nollamara’, ‘Kurulbrang’ or ‘Yonga Marra’ in the Nyoongar language, kangaroo paw is an Australian native plant that has been utilised by Indigenous Australians for generations in traditional medicine. Rich in nectar, its vibrant, fuzzy flowers reminiscent of a kangaroo paw, contain natural antioxidants that shield the skin from environmental harm caused by free radicals. With hydrating qualities that enhance skin elasticity and diminish the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles, Kangaroo Paw extracts also exhibit anti-inflammatory attributes, offering potential relief for irritated or sensitive skin.

The key actives and benefits* of kangaroo paw include:

• TRYPTOPHAN – An essential amino acid that improves skin barrier function, increasing hydration levels, and reducing inflammation
• CHLOROGENIC ACID (CGA) – Mitigates damage from environmental factors, soothes inflammation and displays antioxidant, antimicrobial (including acne-causing bacteria) and anti-inflammatory properties
• AMINO ACIDS – Boosts collagen synthesis upholding skin smoothness and moisture, while diminishing visible signs of aging
• ORGANIC ACIDS – Acts as gentle exfoliant, helping to breakdown and remove dead skin cells and unclog pores
• RUTIN – A flavonoid that increases skin elasticity and reduces wrinkles
