Key Ingredient
Terminalia Ferdinandiana (Kakadu Plum) Fruit Extract
The world's highest known natural source of Vitamin C, recognised for its exceptional antioxidant density and its role in supporting collagen synthesis and skin luminosity. It benefits ageing, uneven and environmentally stressed skin seeking visible brightening and protection from oxidative damage.
Key Ingredient
Caryodendron Orinocense (Cacay) Seed Oil
Recognised for delivering three times the Vitamin A of rosehip oil alongside high concentrations of Vitamin C and linoleic acid, making it one of the most nutritionally dense botanical oils available for skin. It supports cell renewal, absorbs readily without heaviness and benefits dry, ageing and blemish-prone skin seeking long-lasting hydration and improved clarity.
Key Ingredient
Macropiper Excelsum (Kawakawa) Leaf Extract
An endemic New Zealand botanical traditionally valued in Rongoā Māori for skin inflammation, kawakawa leaf extract is naturally rich in myristicin and pellitorine, the most abundant of its more than 60 biologically active compounds, recognised for their role in modulating inflammatory signalling pathways and supporting skin healing.
Key Ingredient
Organic Nigella Sativa (Black Cumin) Seed Oil
One of the most antioxidant-dense plant oils, recognised for its scientifically validated anti-inflammatory and skin-hydrating effects and centuries of traditional use for troubled and mature skin. It supports deep moisture retention, barrier resilience and skin recovery, particularly benefiting dry, ageing and sensitised skin types.
The Frankie Apothecary Approach
Rongoā Māori wisdom. Twelve botanicals. One oil.
Frankie Apothecary is a natural skincare brand guided by Rongoā Māori, a tradition that approaches the body as a whole and plants as layered, intelligent medicine. That understanding shaped this oil entirely. Kakadu Plum at the centre, for antioxidant correction and Vitamin C at a concentration no synthetic can replicate cleanly. Cacay for cell renewal. Kawakawa alongside it, for the anti-inflammatory calming that Rongoā Māori has recognised in this native leaf for generations. Nigella Sativa for barrier resilience. Rosehip, Acai and raspberry seed for essential fatty acids that hold moisture without weight.
The result is a formulation that addresses what skin actually experiences all at once: oxidative damage, reactive episodes, moisture loss and uneven tone, not as separate concerns requiring separate products, but as a single question answered by one carefully considered oil.
A few drops. Light on the skin, absorbed quickly. What remains is the steady, quiet work of twelve botanicals moving like the hand of time in the same direction at once, to address accumulated damage, replenish what was lost and rejuvenate the skin's vitality and appearance.
What does the Frankie Apothecary Replenishing Kakadu Facial Oil do for the skin?
This award-winning, certified organic facial oil delivers concentrated antioxidant support, essential fatty acid replenishment and anti-inflammatory calming in a single formula. Centred on Kakadu Plum, the world's highest known natural source of Vitamin C, it works to support collagen synthesis, neutralise free radical damage and encourage a more luminous, even skin tone over time. Secondary botanicals including Cacay, Kawakawa, Nigella Sativa and Rosehip address barrier hydration, cell renewal and surface reactivity simultaneously. It is designed for skin that requires both visible correction and daily gentleness without compromise between the two.
How does this facial oil differ from a standard rosehip or Vitamin C oil?
Where a standard rosehip oil delivers primarily essential fatty acids and moderate Vitamin A, the Frankie Apothecary Replenishing Kakadu Facial Oil works across multiple correction pathways simultaneously. Kakadu Plum provides Vitamin C at a concentration far exceeding conventional Vitamin C oils, Cacay adds three times the Vitamin A of rosehip and the Kawakawa infusion introduces a clinically recognised anti-inflammatory not present in most face oil formulations. The result is a formulation that addresses oxidative damage, cell renewal, barrier support and skin reactivity in a single application rather than requiring separate products for each concern.
Is the Frankie Apothecary Replenishing Kakadu Facial Oil suitable for sensitive and reactive skin?
The Frankie Apothecary Replenishing Kakadu Facial Oil was specifically formulated to serve both antioxidant correction and skin calming, making it well suited to sensitive, reactive and eczema-adjacent skin. Kawakawa, jojoba, raspberry seed oil and Nigella Sativa provide layered anti-inflammatory support, while the formula contains no synthetic fragrance, sulphates or petrochemicals that commonly trigger reactivity. It is 100% natural and certified organic, making it appropriate for those who have struggled to tolerate conventional face oils or who require a formula gentle enough for long-term daily application.
How long does one 30ml bottle last and does it represent good value?
At one to two pumps per application, a 30ml bottle provides approximately 3 to 6 months more depending on your personal application style. Given the density of natural and certified organic botanical actives in the formula, including high-value ingredients such as Kakadu Plum extract, Cacay and Acai, the formulation represents considered value relative to single-ingredient alternatives that require multiple products to achieve the same breadth of correction.
How should I use the Frankie Apothecary Replenishing Kakadu Facial Oil?
Apply one to two pumps of the Frankie Apothecary Replenishing Kakadu Facial Oil to freshly cleansed skin morning and evening, or once daily as best serves your skin. Press gently into the face and neck rather than rubbing to support optimal absorption.To improves spreadability and allows the oil to distribute more evenly across the skin. Combining a spritz of hydrosol or water with the oil as this supports deeper integration between the skin cells, enhancing absorption and overall hydration performance. Apply before moisturiser on drier skin types, or if your prefer you can choose to where it alone as a lightweight standalone treatment in the evening or during the day under an SPF.
