How Botanical Ingredients Support Healthy Skin

When it comes to skincare, nature provides some of the most powerful and effective ingredients—but not all natural skincare is created equal. At Merindah Botanicals, we carefully select plant-based actives backed by scientific research to ensure that every ingredient in our formulations works in harmony with your skin.

Let’s explore the botanical extracts that make our range so effective.

Kakadu Plum – A Brightening Antioxidant Powerhouse

Kakadu Plum is one of the most potent sources of Vitamin C available, containing significantly more than oranges (Konczak et al., 2014). Its antioxidant-rich profile makes it ideal for:

Enhancing skin luminosity
Supporting collagen production for a plumper complexion
Helping protect against daily environmental stressors

Found in: Luxurious Face Cream – A nourishing daily moisturiser designed to promote skin radiance and hydration.

Rosehip Oil – Hydration & Skin Renewal

Rich in essential fatty acids and natural Vitamin A, Rosehip Oil is a favourite for supporting skin regeneration (Lin et al., 2017). This deeply conditioning oil:

Helps improve skin tone and texture
Aids in moisture retention for long-lasting hydration
Supports the skin’s natural renewal cycle

Found in: Nurturing Rosehip Oil – A lightweight, deeply replenishing facial oil that absorbs easily into the skin.

Quandong Extract – Nature’s Skin Revitaliser

Also referred to as Wild Peach, Quandong is rich in bioflavonoids and phenolic acids, known to help:

Gently refine the skin’s surface
Support hydration while balancing the complexion

Soothe skin affected by external stressors
