Functions
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Skin Protecting
Helps rebuild and strengthen your skin barrier — the invisible shield that keeps moisture in and irritants out. Essential after over-exfoliating or harsh weather.
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.
