Apple Cider Mignonette Vitamin C Accelerator

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. Each application becomes a moment of indulgence and renewal — revealing shimmer inside and out, where outer radiance meets inner vitality.

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.

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.

Shimmer Chef’s Apple Cider Mignonette Vitamin C Accelerator is antioxidant-rich, helping to defend skin against oxidative stress and environmental aggressors. It is designed to complement daily SPF — functioning as a reinforcement for skin vitality and protection, but not as a replacement for sunscreen.

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 contributes to 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.

Gently shake the bottle, then saturate a cotton pad with mignonette. Press and hold onto the face, neck, and décolleté, allowing the elixir to absorb before lifting. For deeply parched skin, repeat the ritual for added nourishment. Once absorbed, follow with Shimmer Chef’s Grapefruit Glacé Morning Face & Body Balm or Shimmer Chef’s Bergamot Beurre Evening Face & Body Balm.
