What makes a night cream natural? And why Kakadu Plum wins.

The word “natural” is everywhere in skincare. But what does it really mean?
For us at Botanical Skincare Lab, it means this: using thoughtfully chosen ingredients that support the skin’s own rhythms, without unnecessary additives or synthetic fillers. It means offering hydration, softness and nourishment with real, recognisable plant-based elements. And it means creating a cream that feels good on your skin and sits comfortably with your values.
Our Kakadu Plum Night Cream is one of those formulas that speaks for itself. Rich, velvety and packed with powerful botanicals, it is designed to support skin overnight while you rest.
What natural skincare is — and is not
A truly natural night cream avoids common synthetic ingredients like artificial fragrances, parabens or silicone-based fillers. These can sometimes sit on top of the skin rather than working with it.
Instead, a natural formula supports the skin’s protective barrier, adds hydration and may help soothe or calm sensitivity, depending on the ingredients used. The best natural creams feel balanced. They are neither too greasy nor too light, and they give your skin a soft, rested feel when you wake.
The power of Kakadu Plum
Kakadu Plum is a small native fruit found in northern Australia. It has one of the highest known concentrations of Vitamin C in the world, and that makes it a beautiful ingredient for nighttime repair.
Vitamin C plays a role in collagen formation, which supports skin firmness and smoothness. It is also an antioxidant, meaning it helps protect skin from the visible signs of ageing caused by exposure to pollution and daily stress.
Our Kakadu Plum Night Cream pairs this potent extract with deeply nourishing ingredients like shea butter, jojoba oil and Vitamin E. These work together to soften and hydrate while you sleep, leaving your skin with a soft glow and an even feel by morning.
Who it is for
This cream is suited to all skin types, but it has been especially loved by people with dry or mature skin. It feels soothing without heaviness, and absorbs well without a sticky residue.
If your skin often feels dull, tired or dehydrated at the end of the day, this may be a good match. Many customers notice their skin feels more supple and hydrated with regular use.

How to use it
Apply a small amount after cleansing, using clean fingertips to massage it into your face and neck. Some people like to use it after a face mist or serum, while others prefer it on its own.
If you are unsure how your skin will respond, you can patch test a little behind your ear or along the jawline before applying it more broadly.
Why simplicity matters at night
Your skin does a lot of repair work while you sleep. That is why we believe night cream should support that process, not interfere with it. Our Kakadu Plum Night Cream has no synthetic fragrance and no overpowering scent. It simply offers comfort and care, letting the ingredients do their work quietly.
In summary
A natural night cream should never be about compromise. It should be about choosing better ingredients and trusting in what they can do over time. Kakadu plum brings brightness. Shea butter and jojoba bring softness. And the complete formula works in harmony with your skin overnight.
If you have been searching for something simple, kind and nourishing to add to your evening routine, this might be it.
