Benefits for Skin and Mood

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.

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.

Inside the Formula

Shimmer C Infusion Technique™

Our proprietary nine-day vitamin C fermentation of fresh citrus and papaya peels yields a fresh, bioactive elixir. Fermentation increases the bioavailability of vitamin C, enzymes, and polyphenols, and naturally generates pre-, pro-, and postbiotics that help nurture a balanced microbiome. The result is care that brightens and refines while supporting barrier comfort and hydration. The living aromatics elevate mood through a soothing, sensorial ritual, bringing outer radiance and inner vitality into harmony.

Fermented Organic Citrus Peels

By fermenting citrus peels, actives become easier for skin to receive nutrients and postbiotics to help support a healthy microbiome. Barrier function is comforted and strengthened, texture looks refined, and tone appears brighter. The natural citrus aromatics gently stimulate the senses, encouraging clarity and calm so you feel as good as you look.

Organic Papaya Peel

Papaya peels are dense in papain-rich enzymes to gently smooth texture and support a brighter, more even look without disrupting the skin barrier.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need to keep this in the fridge?

Our fresh, nutrient-rich formulas are preservative-free, meaning they’re alive and at peak potency when stored in the fridge. Just like fresh food, this keeps the active ingredients stable and maximizes their bioavailability so your skin gets the most out of every application.

How long do your products last?

Our preservative-free formulas are made fresh in small batches. They remain active for three months when stored in the fridge (or up to one year if kept in the freezer). Each jar is designed for regular use within that time, so you can enjoy the full benefits while it's at peak freshness.
