Native Botanical Skincare: Australia’s Gift to Natural Beauty

The Power of Native Botanical Skincare

Australia’s native plants hold remarkable healing and rejuvenating properties; shaped by sun, soil, and resilience. At Rose & Co., our approach to native botanical skincare honours these ingredients in their purest form. We craft our perfumes and skincare on our farm, using sustainable methods and ethically sourced botanicals that nurture both skin and planet.

Kakadu Plum: Vitamin C for Bright, Healthy Skin

• Boost collagen and skin elasticity

• Brighten and even skin tone

• Protect from environmental stress and free radicals

Our Kakadu Plum extract is sustainably harvested and supports Indigenous communities — an ingredient that’s as beneficial for the land as it is for your skin.
