Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.

Nourishes & Protects
Traditional Use
Vanilla has been used by indigenous Mesoamerican cultures for centuries as a flavoring and fragrance ingredient. The plant itself was incorporated into pre-Columbian Aztec cosmetic and perfuming preparations.
