Shelf Life and Storage Information for Our Products and Ingredients
Finished Products - generally don't need to be refrigerated as they are preserved, but you can refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. The shelf life for most products is 9-12 months. Vitamin C Serum(s) and VitaResurface products should continually be refrigerated to extend their shelf life. Sample Sizes - do have a shorter shelf life (generally 3-6 months), and items in jars can dry up quicker than this if the lid is not tightened well enough (Vitamin C Serums - use within 90 days).
Please Keep Your Products Out of Humidity, Heat, Direct Light and in a Dark Cabinet When Possible
Exfoliating Acid - products have a shelf life of 9-12 months. The only things we don't suggest refrigerating are the Mandelic Acid Serums or Salicylic Acid Serums, as they can crystallize in the refrigerator. If this happens, you can set the product into a hot water bath to see if the crystals will dissolve.
Additional Items That Require Refrigeration and/or Kept in the Dark
Hydrosols and Distillates - remove 1 ounce of hydrosol and add it to a separate, sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator. Carrier and Exotic Oils - generally refrigerate all carrier oils, although some very rich oils will solidify. This is fine. All you have to do is take the oil out, warm it up at room temperature, and it should liquefy. If not, set the bottle in a hot water bath and occasionally shake the bottle, which will hopefully turn into a liquid. Some oils, like coconut cream and jojoba oil, have a super long shelf life.
Refrigeration of The Following Ingredients is Not Necessary, But it Won't hurt
Essential Oils - essential oils are best stored in a cool, dark place. Co2 Extracts - these should continually be refrigerated. Butters - we suggest refrigerating our "skincare" butters. You can remove what you need and keep the rest in the fridge. Clays - keep in a dry, dark place. Shelf life is at least 2 years. Herbs All herbs <i>(whole or ground)</i> should be kept in a dark, cool, and dry location. Herbal (liquid) Extracts are created using grain alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents (properties) from each herb, root, trunk, leaf, and flower. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be stored in the refrigerator or a dark, dry place. Other Raw Ingredients - such as Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc., will all have different shelf lives.
Shipping Transit Note: Some customers have asked whether products can be affected by time in transit, especially during warmer months. Our products are formulated and preserved to remain stable during normal shipping times and should not spoil simply from being in transit.
That said, if you are concerned about heat exposure, you are welcome to add an ice pack to your order for extra peace of mind. Click here to add an ice pack.

I started using this about 3 months ago and it is a game changer. I have had three people ask me what I am using. Everyone says I am glowing! It’s the only thing I have changed in my routine. Highly recommend it for women over 50.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this. Hearing that the Bakuchiol Botanic Facial Oil Booster has been a game changer for your skin and that you’re seeing that kind of glow means more than I can say.
Creating products that truly support skin as it changes over time is deeply personal to me. As someone who is almost 70, I understand firsthand how important it is to feel comfortable, confident, and at home in your skin.
Thank you for trusting us and for sharing your experience with others.
With gratitude,

UPDATE: We love hearing that you’re seeing such a beautiful glow and receiving compliments!
One important note for anyone reading: this is our concentrated 2% body formula. If you have been applying it to your face, we recommend switching to our Bakuchiol 0.75% Botanic Facial Oil Booster, which was formulated specifically for facial use.

Love it for my neck. Will try on my face at some point. I have Rosacea so I have to be careful with my face. Love Bakuchiol for the body too.
Hi Cynthia 😊
Thank you for taking the time give us a review.
It's so exciting to know the Bakuchiol p;roducts work so well with your sensitive, Rosacea skin profile.
Have a wonderful week.

Clogging pores
I think after introducing this oil booster in my skin regime I have been getting white heads and congested skin by clogging pores.
Hi Sam 💮
Thank you for sharing your experience. If you were applying this product to your face, please discontinue facial use. This is our concentrated 2% body formula and may feel too rich for facial skin that is prone to congestion.
We have updated the product information to make its intended body use much clearer. Our 0.75% facial Bakuchiol booster is also oil-based, so please reach out to us before trying it if clogged pores or whiteheads are a concern. We would be happy to help you choose a lighter option.

This product make my skin glow! I’m sensitive
This product make my skin glow! I’m sensitive, 63yrs. old and needed something gentle to help with renewal and mild discoloration. I love it and this is my second bottle. Just one pump morning and evening with my moisturizer. Under makeup is a wonderful primer. The more I use it, I’m finding the less foundation I need to use! Thank you for a wonderful product.
Absolutely glowing, just like your skin, Helen! ❤️ We’re so thrilled to hear that our Bakuchiol Botanic Facial Oil Booster is working its gentle magic for you. It’s especially heartwarming to know it’s helping with renewal and discoloration without irritating your sensitive skin.
That radiant, foundation-free confidence? That’s what we love to hear.
Thank you for trusting us with your skincare, your support (and second bottle!) is very important to us!
Markey and the team from GoW
Helen (update):
We do want to clarify that this is our concentrated 2% body formula and is not intended for facial use.
For the face, including use beneath makeup, we recommend our Bakuchiol 0.75% Botanic Facial Oil Booster. It contains a facial-use level of Bakuchiol along with botanical oils and additional actives chosen specifically for facial skin.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to make that distinction clearer. 💗💗💗💗💗💗
this cleanser didn't work for me, but i give it 4 stars because it seems to be a well formulated product that most skin types would like. i have extremely sensitive skin, eczema and rosacea, and i find if i use it more than two or three times a week i get kind of pink and blotchy. the cleanser has a lovely slippery texture, spreads and rinses very easily. it is quite concentrated so it should last a good while. it has a nice grainy, oaty scent that some people may not like (the aroma doesn't linger). here is a handy tip-if you are annoyed by the label getting wet and sticky when you touch it, try covering it with a few coats of clear nail polish, it really helps!
Hi Donna, thank you for sharing your detailed experience. We're glad you appreciated the formulation and texture, and we appreciate your tip about protecting the label.
Sorry to hear it isn't ideal for your sensitive skin, but your feedback will be taken back to
our next meeting for discussion. 🧐 Nail Polish is a great idea! Our labels are 'water-resistant' but not waterproof.
Thanks for your support!
Your GoW Team ❤️
Hi D R
Thank you for your kind review.
I am always such a goober about oils, and I wanted to mention that oils don't offer hydration
just conditioning, etc., although they are excellent to add after a hydration step in your routine to hold the moisture to the skin.
Wishing you all the best in your skincare journey.
Markey 🌸🌸🌸
Hi DR,
Thank you for your feedback.
Squalane is so popular, so your experience will help others decide whether it is the right choice for their skin.

Wound Healing Oil
I have a scar that is a year old. After using a silicone scar cream for a whole year, it was still burning, itchy, raised and red. I started applying Wound Healing Oil twice a day. Within a few days, the itching and burning was under control. It's been 5 months now and the redness has subsided and the scar is starting to flatten. It's a slow process, but it's working.

Sweet & refreshing
I love misting this on my skin before applying lotion! It makes the lotion glide so smoothly and has such a pleasant smell.
