Ingredient to Love: Vanilla | bien-etre skin care information
Vanilla…mmmmmm….we all love this flavor and scent. Would you guess that vanilla pods are actually harvested from an orchid plant? Yep! The vanilla plants have a very short lifespan and their pods need to be harvested within a 24-hour window. After harvesting, the pods are cured and dried for months in order to gain the dark brown color and sweet, rich aroma we know and love.
