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.
That said, if you are concerned about heat exposure, you are welcome to add an ice pack to your order for extra peace of mind. Click here to add an ice pack.

I am a (roughly) 40 year old who still gets hormonal acne, and the over the counter acne stuff I used to rely on is now WAY too harsh for my aging skin. This stuff works wonders. It often takes care of blemishes with just one application over night. For really stubborn stuff, I might need a few applications, but it rarely ever develops into a giant, long lasting blemish. I love this stuff.

Great for my Cysts
I adore this truly Majik gel. When I feel one of those nasty cysts rearing it's ugly head, the tiniest dab obliterates it overnight. For me, it is drying if I try to just glob it on--less is more, maybe counterintuitively like a lot of things with acne (more scrubbing just makes it worse, harsher products too!). For that reason, one tiny bottle lasts for ages. I'm still on the same one from last fall!
This is underrated yet very effective product! Thank you for the review :)

Less acne and less drama!
If the cats got acne, they would use it too. It would probably work on them! It's really magic, I wish I had it when I was a teenager, I wouldn't have damaged my skin with benzoyl peroxide. The tween in our house uses it every day. Thank goodness for this product!! Much less drama in our house thanks to GOW.
Thank you Tracy! This was one of our original (and still) most popular acne serums!

Give this a try!
I have been using the Anti-blemish gel ... for two days. It really does work (I have used everything from store and derm). I was in a foul mood and took it out on my skin....PICKED!!!! I have very strange skin and almost never pick. If I pick at a blackhead or small clogged pore, there is a %90 chance it will turn into a huge lump that takes about two weeks to go away. I stupidly picked about 5 spots!!! Plus, a real cyst appeared on my chin. I get the type of cysts that never form a head and take a few weeks to go away.
I used just a small amount of product, twice a day on clean skin. The picked spots were %85 clear by morning and the real cyst actually formed a head and is almost gone. I carried on w/ my normal routine after applying the Gel.
B/c you use such a small amount, the bottle should last forever. The gel is like a thick Ha w/o a smell (I couldn't smell anything). It seemed gentle, it didn't burn or cause my skin to peel. I highly recommend trying this out.
The BEST lil balm I’ve ever used. And I’ve been round a time or two. Absolutely decadent.
Miles,
I LOL when I read this because I thought of Dolly Parton's 'Best Little Whorehouse in Texas', the movie. Aside from the laugh, thank you for the wonderful review.
I absolutely adore this balm as well.

this cleanser didn't work for me, but i give it 4 stars because it seems to be a well formulated product that most skin types would like. i have extremely sensitive skin, eczema and rosacea, and i find if i use it more than two or three times a week i get kind of pink and blotchy. the cleanser has a lovely slippery texture, spreads and rinses very easily. it is quite concentrated so it should last a good while. it has a nice grainy, oaty scent that some people may not like (the aroma doesn't linger). here is a handy tip-if you are annoyed by the label getting wet and sticky when you touch it, try covering it with a few coats of clear nail polish, it really helps!
Hi Donna, thank you for sharing your detailed experience. We're glad you appreciated the formulation and texture, and we appreciate your tip about protecting the label.
Sorry to hear it isn't ideal for your sensitive skin, but your feedback will be taken back to
our next meeting for discussion. 🧐 Nail Polish is a great idea! Our labels are 'water-resistant' but not waterproof.
Thanks for your support!
Your GoW Team ❤️
Hi D R
Thank you for your kind review.
I am always such a goober about oils, and I wanted to mention that oils don't offer hydration
just conditioning, etc., although they are excellent to add after a hydration step in your routine to hold the moisture to the skin.
Wishing you all the best in your skincare journey.
Markey 🌸🌸🌸
Hi DR,
Thank you for your feedback.
Squalane is so popular, so your experience will help others decide whether it is the right choice for their skin.

I love this stuff
I love this stuff. It's got so many great moisturizing ingredients. I even love the herbal color :) I do a pump of this plus a pump of the decadent oat enriched emulsion plus 4-5 drops of squalane oil as my moisturizer twice a day and my skin feels calm and hydrated.

Wound Healing Oil
I have a scar that is a year old. After using a silicone scar cream for a whole year, it was still burning, itchy, raised and red. I started applying Wound Healing Oil twice a day. Within a few days, the itching and burning was under control. It's been 5 months now and the redness has subsided and the scar is starting to flatten. It's a slow process, but it's working.
