Benefits for Skin and Mood

Cacao Powder – Rich in flavonoids, minerals, and essential fatty acids, cacao protects against oxidative stress, restores elasticity, and stimulates circulation for firmer, revitalized skin. Its bioactive compounds — including theobromine and anandamide — ease stress and uplift mood, enhancing emotional clarity through the skin–to–mind connection.

Chia Powder – Packed with omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and minerals, chia reinforces the skin barrier, restores deep hydration, and calms inflammation. These same compounds nurture emotional balance and inner calm.

Creamed Honey – Hydrates with natural humectants, refines with gentle exfoliation, and defends with antibacterial protection. Its golden sweetness soothes the spirit, reducing tension while leaving skin supple and luminous.

Fresh Avocado – Abundant in oleic acid and vitamins A, C, D, and E, avocado nourishes and strengthens the skin barrier, restoring softness and elasticity. Its creamy comfort elevates mood and nurtures ease.

Matcha – Delivers powerful catechins (EGCG), chlorophyll, and minerals that shield against oxidative stress, brighten the complexion, and calm irritation. L-theanine enhances calm clarity, balancing skin health with mental focus.

Nutmeg – Exfoliates and refines with gentle spice, while antimicrobial compounds purify and smooth. Its warm aroma subtly awakens serotonin pathways, enveloping the spirit in comfort.

Turmeric – Provides curcumin antioxidants that refine tone, diminish discoloration, and calm inflammation. Its golden glow enlivens the complexion while soothing stress pathways through the skin–to–mind connection.

This neurocosmetic synergy leaves skin plump, nourished, and radiant, while the spirit feels soothed, balanced, and restored to harmony. Especially effective for dryness, sensitivity, and dullness, this plaster restores shimmer and equilibrium across face and neck.

Skin Imbalances Support

Acne – Honey purifies, nutmeg refines pores, and turmeric calms irritation for a clearer complexion.

Rosacea – Chia, avocado, and honey restore barrier resilience and soothe redness.

Eczema – Avocado and chia deeply hydrate and fortify, while cacao and turmeric ease flare-associated stress.

Dryness – Avocado, honey, and chia flood skin with moisture, restoring softness and plump vitality.

This restorative mask comforts and rebalances, supporting clear, supple, and resilient skin across all ages.

Sun Protection Support

Cacao Flavonoids – Buffer oxidative stress from UV exposure.

Matcha Catechins – Protect DNA while calming sun-induced irritation.

Turmeric Curcumin – Neutralizes UV-triggered free radicals.

Avocado Oil – Rich in vitamin E to shield against photo-aging.

Together, these botanicals form an antioxidant veil that complements — not replaces — SPF.

Perimenopause & Menopause Support

Restores hydration – Avocado, honey, and chia replenish moisture and ease hormonally dry skin.

Supports elasticity – Cacao’s minerals and avocado’s fatty acids fortify thinning skin and improve suppleness.

Defends against oxidative stress – Matcha and turmeric provide strong antioxidant defense against photo-aging.

Calms and uplifts mood – Cacao’s neuroactives, nutmeg’s warmth, and matcha’s balance restore clarity and inner ease.

This handcrafted plaster comforts and restores through life’s transitions, supporting outer shimmer and inner harmony with rare indulgence.

How to Use

Using Shimmer Chef’s application brush, sweep on a thick layer of Cacao Crème Face & Neck Plaster mask to clean, dry skin across face and neck. Allow the plaster to rest for 10–40 minutes, adjusting the time to match your skin’s nutritional needs. To remove, gently press handfuls of water into the mask until it returns to its original creamy consistency, then use Shimmer Chef’s bamboo spatula to carefully lift away the mask and deposit onto a paper towel or washcloth. Dispose in kitchen trash or compost. Do not rinse face. Follow with Shimmer Chef’s Grapefruit Glacé Morning Face & Body Balm or Shimmer Chef’s Bergamot Beurre Evening Face & Body Balm to lock in nutrients and complete the ritual.

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?

Because our formulas are made fresh in small batches, they have a shelf life of 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.

What makes Shimmer Chef different from other skincare brands?

We don’t just use superfoods, we treat skincare like nutrition—blending the expertise of a culinary chef and an esthetician to create living formulas that work with your skin, not against it. Our products are handcrafted, zero-waste, and fermented for maximum potency, all without synthetic preservatives or fillers.
