Garden of Wisdom's Sulfur Clearing Serum is a powerful yet gentle solution designed to target breakouts, regulate oil production, and support overall skin clarity. Perfect for all skin types, this serum works as both a spot treatment and a preventative solution for acne-prone skin. Its liposome base enhances penetration, ensuring the active ingredients are effectively absorbed while keeping the skin hydrated.
     This advanced formula combines potent botanical extracts and minerals to combat acne while soothing and healing the skin. Rosemary Verbenone Hydrosol acts as a gentle sebum regulator, boosting circulation and delivering antioxidant benefits, while aloe vera gel calms irritation, promotes healing, and provides mild antibacterial properties. Oregano leaf extract further enhances the antibacterial and antiseptic effects, helping to fight acne-causing bacteria.
    For hydration and skin barrier protection, glycerin locks in moisture, while zinc oxide provides a soothing and protective layer. Sulfur powder actively dries blemishes, reduces excess oil, and prevents clogged pores, making it a key ingredient for clear skin. DIM powder (Diindole Methane) from cruciferous vegetables supports hormonal balance and detoxification, addressing acne from within. Aspen bark extract delivers antibacterial and anti-inflammatory benefits, while white licorice root extract (Glycyrrhiza Glabra) helps to brighten skin, lighten hyperpigmentation, and inhibit tyrosinase, reducing unwanted dark spots. Silica powder is a natural thickener that absorbs excess oil for a balanced, shine-free complexion.
     With its unique blend of clarifying, healing, and skin-nourishing ingredients, the Sulfur Clearing Serum is an essential step in achieving clearer, healthier skin. Whether used daily or as needed, it helps prevent breakouts while maintaining hydration and skin comfort.

Method of Application
Apply serum to skin after cleansing/toning and before other products in your routine. This is a water-based serum, so it would go underneath any oils or creams. For best results use 2x per day.

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.
