Method of Application Apply as often as desired. Typically you will cover the wound with a bandage if the environment is conducive to dirt, bacteria, etc. Leave the bandage off so air can circulate.
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.

Thanks a million for creating this truly wonderful product! In combination with your decadent oat emulsion with no essential oils added, this wound healing oil has nearly healed areas of irritation on my face that I have been struggling with for years. After taking Accutane twice, I still struggled with my skin, only to learn later that my blemishes were probably more related to rosacea and allergic reactions to coconut derivatives and other ingredients I was using from other brands. I have tried countless products and spent thousands of dollars on expensive, medical-grade products over the years, desperate to find something that would help my skin. I discovered this wonderful brand on the website Sensitive Skin Oasis, which is dedicated to helping other allergy sufferers find products that will work for their skin. I was initially hesitant, because I had never heard of the brand. I will forever be grateful that I took a chance. I am so glad that this brand does not waste money on expensive packaging, but the products inside are truly incredible and better than anything I have ever tried thus far. This wound healing oil has healed areas of dermatitis, redness, picked skin, and blemishes, even cuticle damage! I will forever buy this product and hope that you will always please continue to make it, just the way it is. I am using the version without added essential oil, just to be safe with my sensitive and hypoallergenic skin. Thank you, Garden of Wisdom!

Wound Healing Oil is Amazing!
This Wound Healing Oil is AMAZING !!
I use this oil after micro needling treatments.
I cannot use the products I’m offered after the treatment so I decided to try this wonderful oil.
I was completely blown away! The difference between not using, and…using this oil after treatments was like night and day. I use the oil 2/3 times a day for the first 2 days post treatments and heal so much more quickly and thoroughly. It is so soothing!!
Also, my daughter-in-law had a small but stubborn cut on her finger for a few days. I gave her the oil to use and before she left my house… She said it was 90% healed.!
She couldn’t believe it. I was not the least bit surprised. I will never be without this oil in my home! I believe the uses are most likely, endless!.
Please, never stop making is outstanding oil!
Thank you, Garden Of Wisdom. Your products, and all your fantastic advice through the years have been priceless!!
This is for sure one very popular product amongst our customers! Thank you so much for your review!

Wound Healing Oil
I received a sample of your healing oil and want to let you know I think this oil is fantastic! The oil has significantly inspired my healing. I apologize for the detail of my story below, but I want you to know how great the oil performed for me. I had a basal cell carcinoma removed from my chest. This was removed through the "scrape & burn" method, which leaves a fairly good sized hole in the skin.. I applied your oil 5 days after the surgery and after using my method...when I applied the oil for the first time, the wound looked like it should-red, raised ring on the outside w/a yellowish moist center. On day 5, I applied your oil and covered the wound with gauze. After 8 hours I removed the dressing to clean the wound and discovered the yellowish center was about half gone. I did the same a second time and the next morning all the yellow crud was gone, the wound was clear. After the next 24 hours and two more cleanings & oil applications, the wound is significantly less inflamed, much smaller and much further along in healing than it has ever been at day 8 after the surgery. In addition, the wound stopped feeling irritated after the first 8 hours - whereas, in the past, the wound is extremely irritated. I know that the true test will be in about 2 weeks after the wound completely heals. But for now, I am amazed at what the oil has done in 48 hrs! I strongly encourage you to offer this oil in your product line. Thx so much
