Vitamin C, sourced from organic acerola cherries, is an antioxidant that helps protect the skin against free radical damage, while also functioning as an essential co-factor necessary for collagen formation and wound healing.  Together, silicon and vitamin C are essential for collagen cross-linking; the process through which collagen becomes strong and resilient.” BEND BEAUTY
