And with so many amazing plants and natural derivatives on offer, we are spoiled for choice - so we've collected some of our absolute favourites for you to see exactly why we use them, and exactly what they do for your skin!

Quandong:
- A unique Australian fruit found widely throughout the deserts, and semi-arid areas of Southern Australia. It has striking, shiny red fruit approximately 15-25mm wide
- Rich with Phenolic Acids that have a multitude of benefits, including antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Its antioxidant activity considered stronger than that of Vitamin E, and its anti-inflammatory action reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- It also contains Rutin, which is a strong anioxidant that can reduce the creation of free radicals. Free radicals cause damage to skin by stealing the charge from healthy celss and making them unstable. Skincare products need antioxidants to protect the skin from breaking down and aging.
- Rutin works synergistically with Vitamin C, inhibiting Vitamin C to oxidise an become a free radical and intensifying the antioxidant activity of Vitamin C.
- Rutin strengthens capillaries, reducing blood pooling in the delicate skin under the eye area, hence reducing dark circles and puffiness.
- Rutin has anti-inflammatory effects which are a major factor in skincare issues like the break down of collagen and elastin, increase in oil production (leading to acne and blemishes), as well as skin discolouration.
