AN ANCIENT FLOWER FOR A UNIQUE STORY

Anigozanthos flavidus is a stunning and uniquely Australian flower known as the Kangaroo Paw Flower because of its resemblance to … you guessed it - a kangaroo’s paw! The Anigozanthos genus has 11 different species, ranging in various hues of velvety flowers, from red and orange to green and yellow. The Nyoongar people called it Nollamara, Kurulbrang or Yonga Marra and have used the nectar to make sweet drinks or harvested the root tubers to eat.

Native to South-Western Australia, it serves as the emblem for the state of Western Australia, but around the world many countries are beginning to admire this exotic species for fresh cut flowers and now its skin-loving benefits! Through NATIVE EXTRACTS’ innovation in Cellular Extraction, we can now see the flower’s unique water-soluble phyto-compound profile including their derivatives, revealing multifunctional phyto-nutrients for skin care. Even the famed French skincare brand, Clarins, has launched new “Extra-firming Day and Night Creams” backed by this Australian Hero Ingredient, touting the plant’s potential for regenerating skin firmness as it targets young cells at the source with increased collagen output.
