VITAMIN C INFUSION TECHNIQUE™
Shimmer Chef Proprietary Blend
Five Feel-Good Formulas containing Vitamin C Infusion Technique™
At the heart of Shimmer Chef’s artistry lies the Vitamin C Infusion Technique™ — a proprietary process in which a curated rotation of orange, lemon,lime, papaya, and grapefruit peels are fermented for nine days in raw apple cider vinegar. This slow transformation creates a living, therapeutic extract flooded with pre-, pro-, and postbiotics. Through this bio-fermented metamorphosis, vitamins, enzymes, and polyphenols are unlocked in their most potent form, becoming readily bioavailable to maximize skin, hair, and scalp health.
For Skin & Mood
The Vitamin C Infusion Technique™ delivers a powerful barrier health boost. Natural AHAs gently refine and smooth texture, vitamin C and antioxidants brighten and protect, while apple cider vinegar restores balance to the microbiome and pH. Because these nutrients are bio-fermented, they are more effectively utilized by the skin, awakening the skin–brain connection to create a fresh feeling that calms stress, uplifts mood, and enhances emotional vitality. The result is skin and mood feel purified, resilient, and radiant with renewed luminosity.
Apple Cider Vinegar – Helps detoxify and rebalance skin’s surface, harmonizes pH, and replenishes the microbiome while soothing visible irritation. The complexion feels refreshed, renewed, and more comfortable. Its crisp tang sharpens the senses, clears mental fog, and transforms renewal into a ritual of clarity and balance.
Lime, Lemon & Orange Peels – Provide antioxidants, vitamin C, and natural fruit acids that gently refine texture, smooth the look of pores, and sweep away dullness for a polished, luminous appearance. Their sparkling zest uplifts mood, reduces stress, and restores clarity with a fresh, energizing lift.
Grapefruit Peel – Delivers vitamin C, enzymes, and flavonoids that visibly brighten tone, restore clarity, and soften the look of uneven spots for a vibrant glow. Its vibrant aroma enlivens the senses, enhancing vitality and awakening inner radiance.
Papaya Peel – Offers papain, carotenoids, and fruit acids that smooth texture, refresh dullness, and leave skin looking supple, soft, and renewed. Its enzymatic energy mirrors emotionally, releasing heaviness and instilling lightness of spirit. Skin is left visibly clarified, radiant, and resilient, with a supple vitality that radiates health. Beyond the surface, the effervescent brightness of citrus awakens the senses, easing stress and restoring clarity.
Skin Imbalances Support
Acne & Congestion – Gentle fruit acids from citrus and papaya help refine the look of pores, sweep away surface impurities, and rebalance oiliness, leaving skin clearer, smoother, and more polished in appearance.
Eczema & Dryness – Apple cider vinegar supports skin’s natural pH balance while fermentation creates pre-, pro-, and postbiotics that help reinforce the skin barrier. The result is skin that feels more comfortable, less tight, and visibly nourished.
Rosacea & Sensitivity – Antioxidants and soothing compounds from citrus and papaya peels help calm visible redness, reduce the look of irritation, and restore balance for a more even, radiant complexion.
This rare bio-fermented concentrate brings clarity to oily, blemish-prone skin while offering comfort to dry, fragile, or reactive conditions — supporting balance, resilience, and renewed vitality across a spectrum of skin imbalances.
Sun Protection Support
Citrus peels – Rich in vitamin C and flavonoids such as naringin and hesperidin, they help neutralize free radicals generated by UV exposure, reducing oxidative stress for healthier-looking skin.
Papaya peel – Provides carotenoids and flavonoids that help defend against UV-induced oxidative damage while supporting barrier strength and resilience.
Apple cider vinegar – Primarily balances pH and supports the microbiome, with modest antioxidant effects that contribute to environmental protection.
Perimenopause & Menopause Support
How It Can Help:
Reveals radiance – Bio-fermented vitamin C from citrus peels, combined with gentle AHAs and enzymes from lemon, orange, and papaya, helps resurface and brighten skin, countering the look of dullness that can accompany estrogen decline.
Supports firmness – Vitamin C helps improve the look of firmness and elasticity, while flavonoids such as naringin and hesperidin defend against oxidative stress that contributesto visible signs of sagging.
Strengthens the barrier – Fermentation creates pre-, pro-, and postbiotics alongside apple cider vinegar, helping to rebalance pH and reinforce the skin barrier for a complexion that feels less dry and fragile.
Refines texture – Gentle enzymatic exfoliation and pH balance help smooth unevenness and unclog pores, addressing the combination of breakouts and sensitivity that can emerge during hormonal shifts.
Lifts mood – Crisp citrus aromatics engage the skin–brain connection, helping to restore clarity, ease stress, and uplift emotional well-being during transitional seasons.
For Hair & Scalp
The Vitamin C Infusion Technique™ brings vitality to the scalp and hair through a nine-day fermentation of citrus and tropical peels in raw apple cider vinegar. On the scalp, natural fruit acids gently refine buildup and restore optimal pH, creating a healthy environment where follicles feel fresh and unobstructed. This nutrient-dense infusion delivers vitamin C, flavonoids, and bio-fermented postbiotics that support harmony within the scalp’s delicate ecosystem, encouraging lasting comfort and balance.
Its gentle astringent touch clarifies and refreshes the follicle environment, helping regulate excess oil while imparting a purified, weightless feel. Antioxidants derived from citrus peels help defend scalp and strands against everyday environmental stressors, preserving vitality with luminous resilience.
For hair, this rare concentrate smooths the cuticle, enhances elasticity, and restores natural shine. Strands emerge softer, stronger, and visibly renewed, leaving a shimmery vitality. The effervescent citrus–vinegar essence enlivens the senses through the skin–brain connection, lifting energy and releasing scalp tightness.
The result is an extraordinary ritual where scalp and hair are restored to balance and beauty — a unique alchemy of fermentation, citrus vitality, and sensorial awakening found only in Shimmer Chef.
