Artisanal Heritage
Meets Modern Science
HERITAGE
The roots of our brand were planted centuries ago on a farm in a small island province in Korea. It was there that Hanega, 107’s parent company, was founded. The artisans of Hanega, now one of the oldest and largest aged vinegar breweries in Korea, have been handcrafting proprietary fermented ingredients and products utilizing unique recipes that have been kept secret for many generations – secrets we now harvest for our skincare products.
AGED VINEGAR
Hanega’s aged vinegars and fermented extracts are not only great for gut wellness, but they’re also great for skin wellness. They are the foundation of 107’s product portfolio, and we use them in all our products, including our topical skincare formulations. Hanega’s proprietary, multi-year fermentation process produces an extraordinarily rich culture of probiotics that transforms peak-harvested raw ingredients and prebiotics into a potent mixture of postbiotics, including vitamins, minerals, amino acids, amino-peptides and organic acids, that are beneficial for skin wellness. The longer the vinegar ferments, the higher the conversion and concentration of these beneficial postbiotics. Our aged vinegars are a superfood for your skin.
INNOVATION
After years-long research of fermentation science, we also discovered the meticulous, multi-year fermentation process of our aged vinegars helped break down other beneficial raw ingredients into smaller, more absorbable molecules and actives for skincare applications as well. By utilizing our proprietary multi-year aged vinegar to ferment proven skincare ingredients, we were able to enhance the effectiveness and absorption of various actives for use in topical skincare formulations.
