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 Papaya Purée 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

Shimmer C Infusion™

Our proprietary nine-day vitamin C fermentation of fresh, organic 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.

Coconut Yogurt

Organic coconut yogurt deeply hydrates and nourishes the skin while delivering beneficial probiotics to support microbiome balance. Rich in lauric acid and emollient fats, it helps calm irritation, strengthen the skin barrier, and reduce inflammation, promoting a clearer, more balanced complexion. Its creamy texture transforms application into a soothing ritual that supports both skin vitality and a sense of well-being.

Eucalyptus Essential Oil

Organic eucalyptus Essential oil refines and purifies the skin with cineole (eucalyptol), potent antioxidants, and ceramide-supporting compounds that help calm irritation, balance excess oil, and protect against environmental stressors. Its crisp, clarifying aroma turns application into a refreshing ritual that helps ease tension and promote mental clarity, leaving skin feeling fresh, smooth, and luminous.

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 Papaya Purée 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.
