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.
Lovely, fresh product and exceptional customer service
After placing my order I realized that I had made a mistake in my shipping choice and GOW was kind enough to help me to upgrade the shipping. Many companies no longer respond to such requests as it is time consuming to backtrack and correct customers' errors. None-the-less, GOW met my request despite the inconvenience that I surely caused and I thank them for that!
The blackberry oil, oh my, fresh and richly emollient. After a bad experience with a mass marketed product from another company (received a very rancid oil blend, yuck) I was very pleased to find my oils from GOW to be in prime condition. This particular product is not only fresh but more true to how I would expect a blackberry seed oil to present itself. I know that I will be back for more face care products. Narrowing things down will be the most challenging part but, thankfully, GOW offers trial sizes, making experimenting with different blends much more cost effective.
In a day and age where the customer is often lost in the sauce, it is refreshing to find a company that still operates on a personal level. Thank you, GOW, you all rock!

Simply amazing and transformative!
I am definitely a skincare junkie and this is the best thing I have found for my aging skin! (I’m 44) I have the driest, most sensitive skin and am fighting wrinkles. I used Sunday Riley’s Juno oil for years but have replaced it with this oil. It is the star ingredient in Juno. Juno was very expensive and this is better! I also use GOW Black Cumin Seed Oil, Squalane, Pomegranate Oil, Prickly Pear Seed Oil and Carrot Seed Oil. Blackberry Seed Oil is my favorite but they are all wonderful! I apply the oils straight to my face and mix them with my moisturizer and foundation. This oil makes my wrinkles around my mouth (and between my brows) disappear and gives me an amazing glow, plus it simply feels amazing, comforting and nourishing. The quality and value of GOW products is incomparable and I just keep trying more and more. I very recently got the Lactic Acid 8% Exfo Pads and they are doing more for my skin than Sunday Riley Good Genes! I now can’t wait to try even more GOW products! Thank you!
Thank you so much for your review! :) We're so glad you are loving the Blackberry Seed Oil (and then some!)

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.

The skin under my eyes is very sensitive and there are not too many products I can tolerate, but this has never bothered me at all. I keep it in the fridge and it's soothing and moisturizing, and does help somewhat with puffiness.
Thank you for your kind words, Tracey
