The scientific name of Davidson’s Plum, Davidsonia jerseyana, is derived from the surname of the Scottish-Australian botanist John Davidson. The plum is native to the rainforest regions of Northern New South Wales and Southern Queensland, where it grows on tall trees with dark green leaves. Davidson’s Plum is a versatile ingredient that has been used in skincare for its numerous benefits.
Davidson’s Plum is a rich source of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that are beneficial for the skin. It is known for its deep purple colour and tart flavour, making it a popular ingredient in skincare products. The plum is high in anthocyanins, which are powerful antioxidants that help protect the skin from environmental damage and premature ageing.
