The global anti-aging market was valued at a whopping $62 billion in 2021, and by 2027, it is expected to grow to a staggering $93 billion. Gone are the days when reverse-aging skin seemed like a myth, and we were putting so many artificial products on our faces, ruining the skin and creating an overall resistance to healing.
That’s where the power of Australian Native Plants comes into play because these plants not only help you gain your glowing, youthful, and soothing skin back, but they also help your skin absorb various nutrients much better without any side effects.
Shâwelle presents you with a complete guide to the anti-aging effects of Australian botanicals. By the end of this article, you will see how we use them in our products and how our customers heal their skin and gain more confidence daily.
What are Australian Botanicals?
Australian Botanicals or Australian Native Plants are formed in a unique ecosystem with a wide array of native plants with powerful natural medicinal benefits for humans. To make it interesting, these plants have evolved with time in extreme climate change and, as a result, provide us with a high level of bioactive compounds.
This means that Australian Botanicals give your skin the right anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and skin-repairing effects, which are much more efficient than our traditional medical methods. Moreover, most of these plants were used by Aboriginal Australians to heal various diseases, but now, the world is coming to a place where we understand more.
Many recent studies have highlighted the skin-rejuvenating benefits of Australian Botanicals. For example, the Kakadu Plum and Davidson Plum are two of the most popular plants and are naturally high in Vitamin C and B5, both of which are perfect for skin healing.
To sum it up, Australian Botanicals provide perfect anti-aging properties, but for you to understand their true effects, we must take these plants one by one. Now, we discuss some of the most popular Australian Botanicals, specifically the ones that Shâwelle uses in their products.
1. Kakadu Plum

Kakadu Plum is like the bread and butter of Australian Native Plants because this plant single-handedly has the world’s highest source of Vitamin C. In other words, not only does it provide collagen stimulation and production, but it ultimately heals your skin, restores its elasticity, and restores its suppleness.
Moreover, Kakadu Plum also contains ellagic acid, which is a compound that protects your skin from environmental damage. So, whether you’re looking to bring back your youthful skin or reverse the damage the sun has caused, products with Kakadu Plum will always help you a lot.
At Shâwelle, our Active Serum uses Kakadu Plum and many other Australian Botanicals that will support your skin, giving you a whiter complexion, getting rid of fine lines, and providing you glowing skin for anti-aging purposes.
2. Emu Bush

Aboriginal Australians traditionally loved this plant for its healing properties. Moreover, it also acts as an anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory agent, ultimately getting rid of aged skin. To make it enjoyable, the plant’s compounds also reduce oxidative stress, one of the biggest factors in aging.
Emu Bush has repeatedly proven to increase dermal strength, helping skin become firmer, stronger, and younger-looking. This plant is also rich in Phenolic Acids and Glycosides, which improve and repair skin.
Our Crème de la Crème Treatment Moisturiser is a perfect example of the right use of Emu Bush. It is not your usual cookie-cutter moisturizer, but it is powered with some of the strongest Australian Botanicals and award-winning anti-aging bioactives like Reproage and Ectoin.
By using this product, you can heal your aging skin and help it battle against the damage done by the sun, climate extremes, and more.
3. Sandalwood Seed Oil

These seeds are derived from the Australian Sandalwood tree, Santalum Spicatum. Recently, this ingredient has grown a lot in the natural skincare industry due to its anti-aging properties. Sandalwood Seed Oil is packed with a stronger punch of Omega 3, 6, and 9, along with the underrated Ximenynic acid, which helps us improve skin regeneration and tighten the skin.
Another huge benefit of using products with Sandalwood Seed Oil is that it helps reduce fine lines, which is just the right anti-aging property most people are looking for. Sandalwood Seed Oil is known for having strong anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and vasodilatory effects.
All of these effects are perfect for anti-aging, and by providing the right amount of nutrients and oxygen to the skin cells, you can get the best possible skin without any harm. Shâwelle’s Power Oil contains this Sandalwood Seed Oil along with many other Australian Native Plants’ extracts, restoring mature or damaged skin.
And if that didn’t surprise you, the Power Oil also reduces the appearance of pigmented skin, puffy eyes, dark circles, and larger pores, and overall gets rid of aged skin.
4. Kangaroo Paw

The Kangaroo Paw flower is more than just vibrant colors and unique shapes. This type of flower has amazing anti-aging abilities that are known to fix most of our issues. For example, it retains moisture, improving skin elasticity and ultimately reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
Then, the Kangaroo Paw is rich in antioxidants, protecting your skin against environmental damage. However, the key-point that sets Kangaroo Paw aside from other Australian Native Plants is that it enhances skin hydration, repairs, and cools down the skin, which helps in skin healing, especially acne.
Our products, like the Active Serum, contain ample amounts of Kangaroo Paw for the best possible long-lasting hydration.
5. Mount Pepper Leaf

Mount Pepper leaf has the highest anti-oxidant rating in the world and is native to the Tasmanian forests and woodland. This plant is known for reducing the redness of the skin while also battling aginst aging skin. With a good dose of Vitamin C, the Mount Pepper Leaf helps you in collagen production, ultimately making the skin look more alive.
We live in a world where, due to the UV radiations, our skin cells are damaged and many of us have a skin that has lost its youthfullness. Skincare products containing Mount Pepper Leaf like our Active Serum contains Mount Pepper Leaf, which helps you battle against an aging skin and reduces stress, fine lines, leaving radiant, glowy, and stronger skin.
