CONNECTING SKINCARE WITH MIND CARE
Where Outer Radiance Meets Inner Vitality — The Essence of Shimmer
Shimmer Chef is a house of fresh neurocosmetics — preservative-free, Perfectly Cold-Preserved™, and powered by the proprietary nine-day Vitamin C Infusion Technique™. Founded by chef-esthetician Jennifer Villegas Sanford, each formula is handcrafted in San Francisco with organic, raw, and fermented actives, preserved at peak potency through refrigeration.
At the heart of our collection lies the Vitamin C Infusion Technique™, a fermentation of organic citrus and papaya peels that powers five of our nine formulas. Delivered in temperature-preserving packaging inspired by fine cuisine, every Shimmer Chef ritual unites culinary craft, modern science, and conscious purity.
The result is a rare collection that nourishes skin and scalp with living vitality — elevating daily care into a sensorial ritual of renewal.
VITAMIN C INFUSION TECHNIQUE™
Shimmer Chef Proprietary Blend
At the heart of Shimmer Chef’s artistry lies the Vitamin C Infusion Technique™ — a nine-day fermentation that transforms a curated rotation of citrus and tropical peels into a living elixir of renewal. Infused with pre-, pro-, and postbiotics, this rare process unlocks vitamins, enzymes, and antioxidants in their most potent form, making them readily bioavailable to maximize skin, hair, and scalp health. This precious infusion is the cornerstone of Shimmer Chef’s transformational power — refining texture, restoring balance, and unveiling luminosity. More than science, it is a sensorial ritual that embodies the philosophy of Shimmer: uniting outer radiance with inner vitality.
Our Founder
"With each of our formulas, I wanted them to feel indulgent yet effortless. It’s like giving your body a little gift—a moment of renewal you’ll see and feel immediately."
