Garden of Wisdom's Mature Skin Collagen Developer is thoughtfully crafted to boost hydration, support collagen and elastin production, and enhance skin firmness. With regular use, it works to diminish the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, leaving the skin smoother and more youthful over time.
An essential detail about the formulation process: Sodium chloride (salt) is introduced to water to improve electrical conductivity, enabling a proprietary process that separates oxygen molecules from H₂O and stabilizes the oxygen within the solution. This innovative method, developed by our supplier, results in a highly stabilized oxygen formulation fundamentally different from the original ingredients, containing extremely low sodium and chloride levels. This advanced process ensures the effectiveness and purity of the final product.
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.

I've been a long time customer of GOW, and this product is one of my go to staples. I use this after cleansing then spritzing one of GOW's hydrating mists (Cranberry or Pomegranate) . The product feels light on my face, light scent and from when I started using it to now, I can see the difference. My skin does look firmer. Please don't ever stop making this.
Evita! It's so nice to see you
Thank you so much for your time writing this review. We know how busy your life is! It's very smart that you use a mist before applying the serum. This saves product and helps the product to glide on and not tug on the skin. 😊

Awesome product
Love the collagen developer. Have been using for several years. Very effective for mature skin
Thank you, Thamaraiselvi
This serum has been around for quite sometime and is still a favorite go to for so many
of our customers.
We appreciate the time you give to us with your reviews.
I use this at night with a few drops of an oil and it’s the perfect level of moisture for my skin, even during winter. Heavy creams cause issue for me and this is perfect.
Hi Harmony ♡
Thank you for talking about this. It is a great product (Decadent Oat Infusion) but
also you mention the perfect routine.
Just a bit of a serum and a few drops of oil works for so many people.
⋆.˚✮ ✮˚.⋆ for taking your journey with us.
You have been around for quite some time and it greatly appreciated.

Amazingly enough... this stuff really seems to be making a difference for the skin under and around my eyes. I'm pleasantly surprised by this eye treatment. I especially love that it is all natural and no silicones, which my skin seems to immensely dislike. I have only been using for a short time but so far am very impressed. I definitely plan to order again!
Rhonda ❤️
We’re so glad to hear this has been making a difference for you, especially so early on.
The eye area can be delicate, so it means a lot to hear it’s feeling like a good fit.
We also understand how important it is to avoid ingredients that don’t agree with your skin, so
we’re happy this has been a comfortable option for you.
Thank you for sharing this with us, and we’re grateful to be part of your routine. ☺️☺️☺️
The Yarrow Blossom mist is great! It calms my sensitive and irritated skin. I have been looking for something like this for a long time. I'm so happy that I found it!
Kim
We’re so happy you found this and that it’s been a calming support for your skin. Sensitive, irritated skin can be such a challenge, so it means a lot to hear this has been a good fit for you.
Thank you for sharing this with us. We’re truly grateful you found your way to it.
My skin is both reactive and acne-prone. Stuff like Stridex pads are too drying, and I reacted to something in the gentler CosRx blackhead power liquid. So it's nice to have a simple product with a short ingredients list! If my skin has decided to play nice with it by the time I finish the sample, I will buy a full size.
Hi Beans
We’re so glad this has been a comfortable fit for your skin so far. We know how challenging it can be to find something that works well for both reactive and acne-prone skin without causing dryness or irritation.
Simple, gentle formulations are something we care deeply about, so it means a lot to hear that your skin is responding well.
We hope it continues to treat you kindly, and we’d love to be part of your routine if you decide to move to a full size.
Markey
This stuff is amazing. It gets all the gunk out of your pores and makes your skin glow with such clarity. I’ve been using this cleansing oil for about 10 years now. I’ll never use anything else. It helped balance my extremly oil acne prone skin as well.
⋆.˚✮ ✮˚.⋆ for this lovely review of the Blemish Prone Cleansing Oil!
Gunk is a perfect descriptive word for a well balanced cleansing oil.
We are so grateful to be part of your routine and wish you the very
best on your skincare journey.

Excellent
I’m so happy to have finally found a nail product that absorbs into the nail (and hopefully the nail bed) instead of sitting on top of it. I love that it needs no removal and that I can keep adding more without developing layers of it on top.
