Collection: Vitamin C
Like vitamin E, vitamin C is a powerhouse antioxidant. Remember, antioxidants are substances that slow or prevent damage to our bodies’ cells caused by unstable molecules called “free radicals.” Free radicals can cause illness and symptoms of aging (like wrinkles) through the damage they cause cells. Vitamin C benefits the body in so many ways, such as boosting our immune system, aiding in collagen formation and helping wounds heal faster. For our skin and lips, in addition to helping repair free radical damage, vitamin C’s ability to stimulate collagen helps smooth the skin, improving its texture and quality.
