Why It’s The K-Beauty Skincare Ingredient Of The Year
Vinegar… isn’t that for cleaning and salads?
When you think of skincare ingredients, vinegar might not be at the top of your mind. It smells strong and is usually sprinkled over a salad or even used when cleaning your house. So, putting vinegar on your delicate face can sound like a DIY experiment gone wrong. But no! The vinegar I’ll be raving about today is not the type you buy in your local supermarket—but a fermented, perfected type of vinegar that can transform your skin in more ways than you can imagine. So continue reading to learn all about the benefits of fermented vinegar in skincare!
7-year fermented vinegar used in all 107 Beauty skincare productsSo what is fermented vinegar?
The brand that has made us fall head over heels in love with fermented vinegar is 107 Beauty. 107 uses local Korean ingredients to make their aged fermented vinegar by also adding:
- Three types of local rice (white, brown and glutinous)
- A blend of Asian herbs and local ingredients (including Gingko, Honey, Turnip Root, Dried Orange Peel, Lilyturf Root, Balloon Flower and Korean Red Pine Needles)
- Bedrock Water from Ganghwa Island
What sets 107’s vinegar apart from other vinegar on the market is its long fermentation process.

Did you know that regular vinegar usually is manufactured and ready for consumption/use in less than a day?
Not the vinegar from 107. Stored in traditional Korean earthenware pots (the same type you ferment Kimchi in!), this vinegar is stored and aged for 7 years before it gets incorporated into 107’s skincare products.
Postbiotics form as a result of the fermentation process. And by fermenting the vinegar for as long as 7 years, you better believe this vinegar (and other 107 skincare, like their cleanser!) is packed with skin-nutritious goodies!
What are the benefits of fermented vinegar in skincare?
Fermented vinegar is a real super ingredient—it protects, exfoliates, AND works anti-aging for your skin. How? The answer lies in the postbiotics created through the fermentation process. These include:
- Acetic Acid: Naturally antibacterial and antifungal, this acid exfoliates without sensitizing.
- Amino Acids: The components that build our skin barrier and protects it from both sun exposure and dehydration.
- Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA): Prevents acne, plumps, promotes collagen production and helps fade scars.
Thanks to the delicate formulations of the 107 skincare you can incorporate the fermented vinegar in your skincare everyday, without ever risking sensitizing your skin!
