How to Use

KEEP REFRIGERATED UP TO 3 MONTHS/ FREEZER UP TO 1 YEAR
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.

Inside the Formula

Cacao Powder

Organic cacao powder is rich in antioxidants, flavonoids, and essential fatty acids that help protect the skin from free radical damage while supporting healing, renewal, and elasticity. Its soothing, revitalizing properties help calm irritation and promote a radiant, even-toned glow, while natural caffeine and theobromine help boost circulation to firm and detoxify the skin.

Avocado

Organic avocado delivers deep nourishment through its rich content of essential fatty acids, oleic acid, vitamins A, C, D, and E, and antioxidants. It helps deeply moisturize the skin, support collagen production, reduce inflammation, and protect against free radical damage, leaving skin soft, supple, and revitalized.

Creamed Honey

Organic creamed honey nourishes deeply and locks in moisture while helping refine skin texture. Its antibacterial and humectant properties support clearer pores, help prevent breakouts, and draw hydration into freshly renewed skin.

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.

What skincare products does this replace?

This isn’t just another step in your routine—it’s a multitasking powerhouse. Our Cacao Crème Face and Neck Plaster is designed to replace all skin creams- from your eyelids to your toes, this creams does it all! By simplifying your skincare with one balm that does it all while delivering fresh, nutrient-dense ingredients your skin barrier actually recognizes. Instead of layering multiple synthetic products, this one formula is everything in one—hydrating, exfoliating, balancing, and strengthening your skin barrier in a single step.
