Bio Kakadu Plum Seed Oil + White Copal is a distinctive botanical blend combining conditioning Kakadu plum seed oil with the fresh, luminous, and softly resinous character of white copal.

Kakadu plum seed oil is obtained from the seeds of Terminalia ferdinandiana, an Australian native tree whose fruit is also known as gubinge or billygoat plum. The seed oil is appreciated for its smooth texture, natural lipid composition, and ability to leave the skin and hair feeling soft, supple, and comfortably conditioned.

White copal contributes bright citrus-like, green, balsamic, softly woody, and delicately incense-inspired nuances. Together, these ingredients create an elegant multipurpose oil suitable for facial care, body products, hair serums, scalp treatments, massage preparations, grooming formulations, natural perfumery, and aromatic rituals.
