CONNECTING SKINCARE WITH MIND CARE

Where Outer Radiance Meets Inner Vitality — The Essence of Shimmer

Shimmer Chef is a house of fresh Neurocosmetics. Our formulas are preservative-free, Perfectly Cold-Preserved™, and powered by our proprietary nine-day Shimmer C Infusion Technique™. Founded by chef-esthetician Jennifer Villegas Sanford, each formula is handcrafted in San Francisco with organic, raw, and fermented actives, preserved at peak potency through refrigeration.

At the heart of our collection lies the Shimmer C Infusion Technique™. Our nine-day vitamin C fermentation process uses a curated rotation of fresh citrus and papaya peels, yielding a fresh, bioavailable elixir that anchors five of our nine formulas. Delivered in temperature-preserving packaging inspired by fine cuisine, every Shimmer Chef ritual unites culinary craft, modern science, and conscious purity.

The result is a rare collection that nourishes skin and scalp with living vitality, elevating daily care into a sensorial ritual of renewal.

SHIMMER C INFUSION TECHNIQUE™

Shimmer Chef Proprietary Blend

At the heart of Shimmer Chef’s artistry lies the Shimmer C Infusion Technique™, a nine-day vitamin C fermentation that transforms a curated rotation of fresh citrus and papaya peels into a living elixir of renewal. Infused with pre-, pro-, and postbiotics, this rare method unlocks vitamins, enzymes, and antioxidants in their most potent form, making them readily bioavailable to support skin, hair, and scalp health. This precious infusion is the cornerstone of our transformational power, refining texture, restoring balance, and unveiling luminosity. It is the foundation of The Shimmer Effect™. More than science, it is a sensorial ritual that embodies the philosophy of Shimmer: uniting outer radiance with inner vitality.
