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.

I really like this stuff! I have super sensitive, fungal acne-prone skin. This takes off makeup and sunscreen right away, and it doesn't feel stripping or irritating. If I use it on the skin near my eyes it stings just a bit, hence the 4 stars, but it's not to stop using it. In the morning I use it as my sole cleanser, and at night I follow it with a GoW cleanser in the shower.
Thank you so much, Caroline. We really appreciate you taking the time to leave such a thoughtful and detailed review.
Hearing that Micellar Cleansing Dew has worked well for your super sensitive, fungal acne-prone skin means a lot to us, especially since skin like yours can be incredibly difficult to please without irritation. We’re so happy it’s helping remove makeup and sunscreen gently without leaving your skin feeling stripped.
We also sincerely appreciate you mentioning the slight stinging around the eye area. That kind of feedback is genuinely helpful for both us and other customers. The eye area can be especially delicate, so we completely understand your caution there.
And, we love hearing that it has become part of both your morning and evening routine alongside another 😊GoW cleanser.
Thank you again for your support, trust, and kindness toward our small company.
It means a great deal to us.

great for removing thick sunscreen
This micellar water is the best! I am in the ocean a lot and so wear thick mineral waterproof sunscreen. In the past, trying to get it all off so that my skin didn't break out was always a challenge because the foaming cleansers would dry out my skin. That is why this is a life saver. As another review mentioned, I shake the bottle, pour about a teaspoon or so in my palm and smooth over my face and neck. You can literally see the sunscreen (or make up) melt off. I rinse and then cleanse one more time with the gentle cleansing gel (another winner IMO). My skin is clean but not dry! I love the sensitive formula. Thank you GOW for making such amazing products!
Rebekah,
This made all of us 😁 so much. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience so thoughtfully.
We know exactly how difficult it can be to remove heavy mineral sunscreen without ending up with skin that feels tight, stripped, or irritated afterward, especially for those spending so much time in the sun, salt, and ocean air. Hearing that the Micellar Cleansing Dew has made that process gentler and easier for you honestly means the world to us.
We also love that you shared your method because that “melting away” moment is exactly what we hoped people would experience when formulating it. Clean skin that still feels comfortable and balanced afterward was always the goal.
And pairing it with the Gentle Cleansing Gel makes us extra happy over here 😊 Those two were truly designed to complement one another for sensitive, easily overwhelmed skin.
Thank you again for your kindness, your support, and for being part of the GoW community.
Reviews like this remind us why we keep doing what we do every day.
Markey, Jen and Your Team at GoW

Better than I expected
I don't consider myself to have ultra-sensitive skin, but wanted a morning wash that was as close to water as possible. This works wonderfully for me to achieve that; my skin definitely feels clean but not overly dry. This is my first step in the morning and at night when/if I double cleanse.
Hi Elizabeth
Thank you so much for sharing this! We’re thrilled to hear that our cleanser gives you that “as close to water as possible” feel while still leaving your skin clean and balanced. It’s perfect as a gentle start to the day.
Your GOW Team wishing you the best in your skincare journey

The best make up remover
The Micellar Cleansing Dew is the best for makeup removal. I love the sensitive formula, very gentle. I use it all over my face including the eye area. I’ll hold a saturated cotton pad for several seconds to break down my mascara and eyeliner. Then splash my face with water. Wonderful product!!❤️
Hi Helen
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re so happy to hear that the Micellar Cleansing Dew has become your go-to for makeup removal, especially around the delicate eye area. Your method of letting it sit to gently break down mascara is spot on! We truly appreciate your kind words and love hearing how our formula is working for you.

This absolutely works and it works quickly! I notice a difference in my nail health, strength and length and I noticed a difference within a week. I stopped using it for a couple of weeks and my nails went back to dry and peeling. Within a few days of using it again, they were growing and strong. People actually noticed and complimented. It's easy to use with the brush application as well.

I recommend this to EVERYONE with KP
I recommend this to EVERYONE who tells me they have KP or body acne. It’s magic, fr.
I used to get breakouts on my glutes and KP on my arms but if I use this 2-3x a week…. Clear as day! I’ll use it a bit more in the summer too.
It’s strong so be sure to wash your hands afterwards and avoid any compromised skin and BODY ONLY!
Thanks GoW for consistently having the best quality prices while still charging reasonable costs instead of inflated ones. Tysm!!!

I wish you had a choice of a bigger bottle size or a big refill container. It would also be advantageous for the environment
