107 uses the wonders of fermentation science to create effective products. Based on rigorous scientific research, they have carefully selected proven and effective skincare ingredients and have had Hanega’s artisans ferment them to develop proprietary vinegar-fermented extracts that have higher concentrations of absorbable actives for enhanced effectiveness. As 107 values balanced skin wellness, they have combined their proprietary vinegar-fermented extracts with their proprietary aged vinegars, their Probiotics Complex and their Prebiotics Complex to create a holistic VINBIOME™ Complex that helps to promote a healthy skin microbiome and sustainable skin “prejuvenation”.

For generations, the artisans of Hanega have fermented vinegar with ginseng root for Traditional Asian Medicine doctors, who used these vinegars to make traditional medicine. Panax ginseng root is often known for having large amounts of unique saponins called ginsenosides, such as Rg1, Rg3, Rg5, Rh1, Rh4 and Rk1, which are beneficial for health and wellness. The long and meticulous fermentation process of aged vinegar further breaks down these unique saponins to more variety and more easily absorbable ginsenosides. 107's proprietary VinB10-Biotic™ Ginseng is fermented with 10-year black vinegar and further refined into a multi-functional ingredient that helps to firm and soothe the skin.

One of the most important ingredients for aged vinegar is a Korean fermentation starter called “nuruk,” which is a mold of wheat that is naturally fermented with various microorganisms and enzymes. “Nuruk” has a rich concentration of polysaccharides that are beneficial to skin health. In collaboration with Hanega’s artisans, 107 has found the optimal fermentation and refining process to break down these wheat polysaccharides into the most effective form for skincare formulations. Their proprietary VinB10-Biotic™ Wheat is fermented with 10-year black vinegar and further refined into a multi-functional ingredient that helps to firm and soothe the skin.

Another important ingredient for Hanega’s aged vinegars is pine tree needles, which is sourced from acres of pine trees at Hanega’s brewery in Ganghwa Island. Unsurprisingly, pine tree bark extract is often recommended as a skincare ingredient by Korean dermatologists due to its outstanding antioxidant capabilities. Together with Hanega’s artisans, they have found the optimal fermentation and refining process to increase the content of taxifolin, which is one of the representative antioxidant components found in pine trees. 107;'s proprietary VinH7-Biotic™ Pine is fermented with premium 7-year gingko vinegar and further refined into an enhanced antioxidant ingredient that helps to combat oxidative stress on the skin.

VIN-B10 is 107’s proprietary vinegar ingredient processed from Hanega’s 10-year black vinegar with 35+ beneficial nutrients such as amino acids, organic acids, minerals and vitamins. This premium aged vinegar contains more vitamins, such as vitamin A, B5, C and D, that help to brighten and hydrate skin. The Hanega artisans source the organic rice used in this premium aged vinegar from trusted rice grain farmers from all around Korea.

Hanega’s artisans care deeply about their proprietary probiotic cultures. They nurture their probiotics as if they were their own children. They feed their probiotics with the best herbs and naturally-sourced foods, and they even put on traditional Korean folk songs to provide a calm environment for the probiotics to grow. And they never, ever, enter the storing room when they themselves are not in a good emotional mood. The artisans take this much care for their probiotics because they know that effective fermentation of the probiotics culture is critical to producing abundant and balanced postbiotics.
