Snake Vine has been showing up in all the right places lately, and for good reason. More people are turning to Australian skin products that use native botanicals, and Snake Vine is proving to be one worth talking about. Known for its strength in nature and now its antioxidant ability in skincare, this plant is stepping into the spotlight, especially with the hotter months ahead.
Australia’s summer brings its own set of skin concerns. Between intense sun, dry air, and environmental stress, it becomes important to find protection that can help skin stay calm, hydrated, and strong. People are looking for real, local ingredients that deliver visible comfort, not just trends. That’s part of why Snake Vine is gaining attention, it responds to exactly what our summer skin is asking for.
What Is Snake Vine and Where Does It Come From
Snake Vine, or Hibbertia scandens, is a hardy climbing plant that grows along coastal regions and bushland across eastern Australia. It is adapted to thrive in harsh conditions, which already says a lot about what it can do. Traditionally, Aboriginal communities recognised its soothing nature, using it in natural preparations to support skin recovery. Now we’re beginning to understand more about why.
With growing respect for Indigenous knowledge, more skincare makers are turning toward ingredients like Snake Vine, not just because they are local, but because the wisdom around their use points to lasting skin benefits. And with careful, responsible harvesting now part of the process, it sits well with people who want clean products made with care, not shortcuts.
Why Snake Vine Is Making Waves in Skincare
One of the biggest reasons people are drawn to Snake Vine is its incredible antioxidant profile. It is rich in catechins, which are compounds that help protect the skin from oxidative stress. That means less damage from UV exposure, air pollution, and daily wear. What makes Snake Vine even more exciting is that these catechins are up to 100 times more potent than Vitamin C.
That strength helps explain why it is being included in more pro-aging products. We are seeing smoother texture, better hydration, and fewer signs of irritation when it’s used in the right way. And because it feels light on the skin, it works well in everyday moisturisers, even for those who lean sensitive or reactive. This makes Snake Vine not just a strong performer, but one that fits easily into daily care.
According to Founder's Formula, the Australian Snake Vine Super Anti-Oxidant Moisturiser is formulated with Snake Vine extract to deliver intensive antioxidant support, help smooth skin texture, and retain natural moisture, supporting the skin’s barrier against environmental stress.
How Snake Vine Works with Other Native Botanicals
Snake Vine has its own strengths, but when paired with other Australian botanicals, it takes on a new level of support. We look at ingredients like Aloe Vera, Tasmanian Pepper Berry, and Australian Swamp Pennywort because they all speak to our environment and how it affects our skin.
When we combine them, they target different issues at once. Where Snake Vine firms and protects, Aloe Vera helps cool, Swamp Pennywort restores, and Pepper Berry calms. You’ll find this approach in products like our Snake Vine Super Anti-Oxidant Pro-Aging Moisturiser, a formula built to help skin stay supple, resilient, and hydrated under challenging conditions. That combination matters more in summer when skin gets tested more often.
Choosing the Right Products for Long-Term Skin Support
Not sure if Snake Vine is for you? It tends to suit most skin types, but it shines when your skin is showing signs of stress. If you often deal with dryness, fine lines, or uneven tone, looking into Australian skin products with native ingredients can be a smart step.
• For daily hydration without heaviness, the Wild Rosella Hydrating Moisturiser is a gentle, antioxidant-rich option. It gives the skin a soft, dewy finish and locks in moisture using Wild Rosella, Aloe Vera, and native emollients.
• When skin feels rundown or needs help recalling its bounce, the Snake Vine Super Anti-Oxidant Pro-Aging Moisturiser steps in with deeper restoration. It includes peptides and ceramides that work alongside Snake Vine to boost firmness and barrier strength.
• For a final layer, especially after sun or active ingredients, our Botanical Barrier Balm (SLUG) gives skin a chance to rest overnight. It’s made with Australian oils and natural waxes that trap in moisture without clogging, wrapping dry or delicate skin in calm.
If dryness, barrier repair, or seasonal stress keep showing up for you, using these products in layers can provide real day-to-day comfort and longer-term support.
