L-ergothioneine Superior (mushroom) Antioxidant Serum There are insufficient words to define how exceptional, adequately extracted, and sustainably sourced mushroom infusions are for our skin. Mushrooms can create an isotonic environment, which means that the properties of each mushroom are balanced both inside and outside of the mushroom. This formula harnesses the potent benefits of the Mataike Mushroom (Grifola Frondosa Fruiting Extract), Reishi Mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum), Chaga Mushroom (Inonotus obliquus), and Cordyceps (Cordyceps Sinensis). Together, these mushrooms contribute to overall cell health, anti-aging, calming, hydration, nourishment, and optimal functionality, providing comprehensive support for your skin.
but wait for it …
The absolute captain of this antioxidant team is L-Ergothioneine! L-Ergothioneine is a naturally occurring amino acid and an extremely potent antioxidant. It is unique among antioxidants because it has a specific transporter in the human body, the ergothioneine transporter (ETT), which allows it to be efficiently taken up and accumulated in tissues where it can exert its antioxidant effects.
L-ergothioneine is found in various foods, with exceptionally high levels in mushrooms. This serum is great for ALL Skin Types!
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.

🌿 A Note About Mushrooms
NOTE: Mushrooms and their plant matter are extracted through a process that contains only the plant material and then preserved with Leucidal SF (Mushrooms are full of water).
🌿 Handcrafted at Garden of Wisdom
Our Anemarrhena Extract is handcrafted in-house by gently extracting the dried root in a blend of 85% spring water and 15% alcohol. This traditional extraction method helps draw out the plant’s naturally occurring beneficial compounds without the use of glycerin or added preservatives.

I have been using my " mushroom magic" for a few weeks. The consistency, to me, is very different. I was pleasantly surprised at how easily it melts into my skin. This is the first product that has worked so well at reducing my redness!
Sending you a super duper thank you for taking the time to review our L-ergothioneine Serum!

My skin looks healthier!
I am very happy with how my skin has reacted to this product. I thought I had adult acne for the past couple of years so I've tried all kinds of products to "cure" my skin condition. I spent hours reading beauty blogs and articles on skin care and product recommendations and also wasted a lot of money, only to have my skin get worse because of all the garbage I was putting on it. I went to a dermatologist and they prescribed expensive and harsh treatments. I finally came across GOW online and sent them an email to see what they would recommend for my "challenging" skin. Jen was so helpful and responsive to my (many) questions! I feel like this product is helping with healing my skin after using harsh products for years, and I also feel like it gives my skin a bit of a glow. I use this in the morning with Apple Stem Cell Cream and my skin looks fresh and clear all day.
We're so happy you are liking this product! this product is under appreciated for how much it can help! Thank you!
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.
Hi Jennifer 😊
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're delighted you appreciate our unique products and are finding a routine that works for your skin.
Your thoughtful review means a lot to us.
Stay radiant!

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...

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!

The one ounce bottle with the dropper was a convenient way to refill my bottle with the pump top

Bakuchiol (Sytenol®A) Botanic Facial Oil Booster
Karen Nagamoto
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.

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.
