Botanical Essence is a leading manufacturer and global supplier of premium botanical extracts. Our Kakadu Plum Extract Powder is derived from the wild-harvested fruit of Terminalia ferdinandiana, also known as Kakadu plum, gubinge, or billygoat plum. Native to the pristine tropical woodlands of Northern Australia, this superfruit has earned international recognition for possessing one of the highest natural concentrations of vitamin C in the plant kingdom.
Product Overview
Kakadu plum is renowned for its exceptional nutrient profile. Fresh fruit contains 1,000–5,300 mg of vitamin C per 100 g — approximately 100 times higher than oranges or blueberries. Beyond ascorbic acid, the extract is rich in powerful polyphenols including ellagic acid, gallic acid, and a broad spectrum of flavonoids. These bioactive compounds work synergistically to deliver both water-soluble and lipid-soluble antioxidant protection, making it a versatile ingredient for advanced nutritional and cosmeceutical formulations.
Sustainably sourced and meticulously processed, our Kakadu Plum Extract Powder is ideal for manufacturers, formulators, contract manufacturers, and distributors seeking a traceable, high-efficacy Vitamin C ingredient with clean-label appeal.

Production Process & Quality Control
Our Kakadu Plum Extract is produced using a carefully controlled water extraction process that preserves the fruit’s delicate bioactive compounds.

We maintain full traceability from wild-harvested raw material in Australia to finished powder in our GMP-compliant facility.
