A miraculous anti-aging breakthrough, Garden of Wisdom's Apple Stem Cell Elixir (PhytoStemCell) utilizes Phyto Stem Cells from Uttwiler Spätlauber. This rare Swiss apple regenerates and encourages stem cell growth in the skin and combats chronological aging while protecting human stem cells from stress. We add glycoproteins to aid cellular repair, boost the skin's oxygen content, and increase skin cells' energy levels. This product is a beautiful choice for those who want to address wrinkles, fine lines, and rough and dull, stressed skin. PhytoStemCell Malus Domestica is a liposomal preparation of apple stem cells from Apple Stem CellMalusDomestica Fruit Cell Culture (Uttwiler Spätlauber) Malus Domestica Fruit Cell Culture (Uttwiler Spätlauber). This rare Swiss apple was cultivated because of its known ability to have great longevity. It was shown to cross over to the skin. It has been shown to protect skin stem cells and delay the senescence of hair follicles. PhytoStemCell Malus Domestica provides a revolutionary anti-aging performance for natural rejuvenation. Plant cell culture technology developed this ingredient. NOTE: This is a liquid delivered with a spritzer.
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 into a separate,sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator. Carrier and Exotic Oils - generally, you can refrigerate all carrier oils, although some very rich oils will solidify. This is fine. All you have to do is take it 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. There are some oils with a super long shelf life, like Coconut Cream and Jojoba Oil.
Refrigeration is not necessary, but it surely 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 (whole or ground) should be kept in a dark, cool and dry location. Herbal (liquid) Extracts - these are created using alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents (properties) from each herbs - root, trunk, leaves, and flowers. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be kept in the refrigerator or a dark place. Other Raw Ingredients - i.e., Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc. will all have a different shelf life.

This does something to my skin that I cannot find anywhere else, including in tretinoin. It makes my skin look younger and truly alive, makes my pores look smaller.
I’m 32 and at this point, I generally have pretty dull skin. I miss having the glow and texture I did in my early 20s. This brings it back somehow.
The product texture is also so nice and absorbs fully and quickly.
Kourtney, thank you for such a heartfelt and thoughtful review!

Hyaluronic Acid FREE
This is a great serum. Apple stem cells are one of the best age defying ingredients and protectors to the skin. Also this formula is hyaluronic acid free and I have found no other Swiss apple serums on the market without this ingredient. Some people cannot tolerate HA and this serum will give you the benefits of Swiss apple stem cells without the potential of irritation. So if you have a sensitivity to Hyaluronic acid or reactive skin I would only recommend GOW apple stem cell serum.
Thank you for this review! :)
NOTE from us: Hyaluronic Acid is not an exfoliating acid like other acids. It is hydrating. However for those with a Hyaluronic Acid sensitivity, this is a good choice :)

Hydrating and gentle
I was looking for a serum with peptides and no hyaluronic acid for the change of weather. I bought the sample size and will be buying the full size as soon as it runs out! It’s moisturizing and light, I also don’t notice any smell. After cleansing (skin friendly cleanser) and spritzing rose water on my face, I add this serum then follow with a moisturizer and my skin feels soft and my dry patches are soothed throughout the day.
We're so glad you are loving this!

Use it on my undereyes
I use this serum on the delicate and sensitive under eye skin per Jen's recommendation. It feels so nice, and I find that it actually brightens and fortifies the skin under my eyes. Other under eye creams I've used in the past were either too thick or left small irritated/dry/red patches. A little goes a long way too, which is a bonus! Will keep repurchasing.
Really glad you are liking this product!
