This Garden of Wisdom oil blend was specifically formulated for use on aging and mature skin. It expertly conditions dry skin, holding hydration to the skin, leaving it moisturized. As well as being conditioning, this oil blend is extremely nourishing and healing, so it will keep skin healthy and help repair damage. This oil is extremely rich, but can be used during winter months when skin is faced with dryness, itching, and irritation.
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.

Great have used it for years and the only products I use. I have had Doctors even compliment my skin
Hi Cheryl
Thank you for your feedback.
WOW, it's so amazing when a doctor can actually take the time to compliment a patient, but about their skin is
even more impressive!
We are here for you, anytime.

I’ve been using this oil for years
I’ve been using this oil for years. As someone in their 40s and living in the desert, this oil gives a gentle hydration, supporting perimenopause skin, without being greasy or heavy on my sensitive skin type.
Hi Sharon
Thank you for such a thoughtful review and for sharing the results you experienced over time.
It’s the kind of feedback that genuinely helps others feel confident in trying this oil blend!

Great for all skin types
I have been using this oil for so many years , I can’t even remember life without it . I have combination skin , and after trying this oil I realized that this is exactly what my skin needs . I use a hydrating mist before ( I switch those up) and then this oil . Even though I was acne prone before and I was afraid it will cause breakouts , this oil is keeping my skin balanced , no break outs just juicy skin . I even use it in the summer !
Thank you GOW for this wonder oil !
Thank you very much for your review! :)

amazing for barrier repair
This oil really helped my inflamed, dry face return to looking healthy and bright. It's great for wintertime and mixes well with other products. Great for damaged hair or scalp issues too, work it into lotion for smooth hands, heals eczema and rough patches quickly. Cholesterol and vitamin rich oil like this is essential if you have dry skin type in general!
The one ounce bottle with the dropper was a convenient way to refill my bottle with the pump top
The one ounce bottle with the dropper was a convenient way to refill my bottle with the pump top. Absolutely love what this has been doing for my skin.
Bakuchiol (Sytenol®A) Botanic Facial Oil Booster

So far my skin likes this after spritzing with hydrosol. Then I mix a little with sweet almond oil to help seal it in. It doesn't clog my pores or make me break out like other products. Thank you!
I just tried the Pomegranate Super Fruit Hydrating Mist. Great scent. Great hydration for use throughout the day.

I love this serum so much
I love this serum so much. I have sensitive skin, and use this once a week so it lasts a while, and it makes such a big difference. Smooths lines, cleans pores, and evens skin tone.

Unclogs pores and smooths bumps
This product has unclogged my pores and smoothed the bumps on my cheeks. I have very sensitive skin and this did not irritate my face. It does not work overnight, you need to stick with it for a while but it worked for me!

Superb for Soothing Sunburns
Love this. So simple but effective. I use it daily on my face as it soothes my sensitive skin. Whenever anyone in our family has had too much sun or a sunburn, we use this - it's incredibly soothing and hydrating. Even my picky kiddos happily put it on sun-parched skin.

Work horse in my skin care routine
Work horse in my skin care routine. Have used for years. I spray a few sprays after cleansing on my face, neck, and chest, then use the extra moisture it provides to spread my serum. Resets the ph of my skin, makes everything feel more comfortable, and cost effective. Love it.
I love that GOW offers such rare, natural items you can't find anywhere else
I love that GOW offers such rare items you can't find anywhere else. I have very sensitive skin/ type 2 rosacea. I cannot seem to use this directly on my face but I wash with water, then spray when wet a few sprays, let soak in for anti-aging, anti-bacterial benefits, gently press into skin, and wait a minute, then rinse, proceed with routine.

A few weeks ago I purchased the Advance Peptide Nail Support Serum because my finger nails have vertical ridges. I am using the serum every night and I am seeing great results. I have tried many other products over the past couple of years and was about to give up until I found the Advance Peptide Nail Support Serum.
Patricia!!!
Thank you for this feedback. I love this product. It has smoothed out the ridges in my fingernails and is strengthening them as well.
I LOVE PEPTIDES.
Happy hands and nails to you...
Markey 👌
I love this Lavender Recovery Gel so much. Whenever my skin is irritated or healing from something like a popped pimple, I always reach for this recovery gel and it noticeably speeds up the healing process. If my skin is really irritated, I'll apply a layer before bed and cover it with a bandage overnight, and the difference by morning is amazing! I keep the 1 oz pump at home and the 0.25 oz size in my travel toiletry bag, so I'm never without it when I need it. This is a 10/10 product, please never stop making it!
Hi Rachel, thank you so much for your wonderful review! 💜
I love this serum myself, and I have never been fond of lavender,
so that says a lot!
Your loyalty means the world to us. We'll do our best to keep it available forever! 😊
I love how light and layer-able this hydragel is. The green tea and oat beta glucans are simple, but effective ingredients that just make sense together! This is a great addition to any skincare regimen.
Hi there!
This is such a great review, thank you!
This has become one of our top-selling products.
It's awesome to hear you love the light moisturizing it offers and find it perfect for your skin.
Thank you for sharing your experience!
Markey 😊
