It is a powerful ingredient
recognized as the world’s richest source of Vitamin C. This natural extract
is celebrated for its antioxidant properties and its ability to combat signs of skin aging.
Hailing from the northern territories of
Australia, particularly around the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Kakadu National Park, the Kakadu Plum or
Terminalia Ferdinandiana has been part of the indigenous diet and traditional medicine for thousands of years. It thrives in an environment with extremely high
UV radiation levels, developing a unique composition to protect itself against oxidative stress.
It significantly reduces the appearance of wrinkles,
enhances skin luminosity and brightness, and improves overall skin tone evenness. It also energizes dull-looking skin,
offering a youthful radiance and protecting against environmental aggressors.
Thanks to its high Vitamin C content
and antioxidant activity, it helps in fighting free radicals, reducing oxidative stress, and preventing premature
skin aging. It promotes collagen and hyaluronic acid production, essential for maintaining skin firmness, elasticity,
and hydration. This results in a smoother, more radiant complexion with reduced signs of aging.
It works by enhancing
the delivery of vitamin C into the skin. This action helps to maximize the skincare benefits of vitamin C,
including its antioxidant protection, collagen synthesis, skin brightening, and reduction of hyperpigmentation.

Prevents Loss of Skin Density Upon Sun Exposure: It helps maintain skin density and firmness, even when exposed to the sun.
InfraGuard offers dual protection against IR radiation:
Stops Free Radicals: It reduces the formation of harmful molecules inside the mitochondria, thereby minimizing collagen breakdown.
Supports Mitochondria: It ensures the mitochondria remain functional and healthy, even under the stress of IR exposure.
Antioxidant power: In- vitro studies have shown that InfraGuard works almost as well as vitamin C in neutralizing harmful molecules called free radicals. It successfully eliminates all the damaging reactive oxygen species (ROS) caused by infrared (IR) light inside the mitochondria, which are the powerhouses of skin cells. This protection helps keep the mitochondria and their DNA functioning properly, even under IR-induced stress. Additionally, InfraGuard shields skin cells from the harmful effects of blue light from screens and pollution in the air, protecting your skin from further damage.
Skin Firmness and Density: Clinical trials showed that volunteers who used a sun cream containing 2% InfraGuard experienced improved skin firmness and density compared to those who used a regular SPF30 cream. This suggests that InfraGuard offers additional protection against IR-induced skin damage, preventing the loss of skin density upon sun exposure.
