Garden of Wisdom's After Bath Body Conditioning Oil does what most creams and lotions can't. It locks in moisture with its high butter and oil content, keeping your skin conditioned and moisturized all day. Cocoa Butter traps in the water, and aids in the healing process while nourishing rough, dry skin that craves oils and butters. This is an excellent choice for everyone's body.
Method of Application Apply to moist skin 1-2 times a day, or as desired. Applied just out of the shower or bath is a fantastic way to help this absorb into the skin.
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.
Pumpkin Seed Oil decadent, warm and rich oil, extremely conditioning, rich in vitamins and minerals, high in lecithin, linoleic and alpha-linoleic acids
Palm Oil (fully sustainable) conditioning
Rice Bran Oil moisturizes, softens, high in fatty acids
Avocado Butter anti-bacterial, healing, anti-wrinkle, healing for skin conditions such as eczema, sensitive skin, and dry skin, very emollient
Cocoa Butter healing, moisturizing, helps to diminish stretch marks
Despite having dry eczema prone skin on my body, heavily occlusive oils are a huge no. This oil was THE best thing to happen to my sad winter skin. The "linoleic content" in sunflower seed and the other oils isn't just to sound fancy, it's actual science in action. And then the bit of avocado and cocoa butters add just enough luxurious nourishment and my skin is left feeling conditioned without feeling suffocated or like I need to itch off the product! Tried some other brand oils in between, but nothing compared. Thank you GoW for making these products that actually work. I could cry.

First, thank you ♡ for being a long-time customer and friend to Garden of Wisdom. ❀
I really love this oil blend. I apply this right after a shower while my skin is still wet, and oh my gosh,
it sinks in, and the scent of cinnamon is one of my absolute favorites.
Wishing you all the best, and thank you for being part of our Garden of Wisdom family all these years.
Markey, Jen, and your friends @ GoW ᓚ₍⑅^..^₎♡

Love this!
After trying the After Bath Conditioning Oil I have become addicted to using it after every bath or shower. I even take a small bottle whenever I travel. As I am in my 60's I battle crepe-y looking skin and using the conditioning oil really keeps it in check. I have given several bottles as gifts as well because it feels luxurious! Best used on damp skin.

Love this oil, it has made my skin feel soft, hydrated and glowing.
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
We are happy to hear our Anti-Puffy Eye Serum works well for your sensitive skin and provides the soothing relief you need. We appreciate your support!
Thank you for being such a loyal and long-time customer,

My dermatologist recommended your product and I like it. Clean beauty.
Hi Madelon, (such a cool name) ✌︎㋡
We are thrilled to hear your dermatologist recommended our Lactic Acid Exfo Pads! That is really so cool and we appreciate running it past your Dr for their feedback. I wish it was doable to have a derm who was straight up honest to support companies like ours that offer products created with the customer in mind, not, the dollars.
Thanks for your kind words and support.
Wishing you the very best in your skincare journey.

Effective as a spot treatment. I may have overused it when I first got it (all over my face, twice a day), which might have been a bit irritating. But now I use it as a spot treatment if I feel any spots that might be headed toward a bit or blemish. And in the morning, those spots definitely feel dryer and less angry.
Hi Caroline ✋😃
Thank you for sharing your experience with our Oxygen Rich Super Charged 15% Gel. Honestly, I would have done the same thing by using it over my entire face and probably my neck, just for good measure. •ᴗ•
Receiving positive reviews always make us smile over here. Spot treatment is a perfect way to explain the use of this product.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

This feels really great on my hair. I love that it's silicone free and also fungal acne safe! (Very hard to find with conditioners!) Note that it is a leave-in. I use it after a hair wash before gels, and I also use it throughout the week on my ends for a moisture refresh. My one downside is that I don't like the smell when I put it on dry hair... I wish it had a dab of something herbal, even though I do like that it isn't scented with essential oils. But other than that I love it and plan to keep using it!
Hi Caroline
Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback.
We strive to keep our customers happy and are delighted to hear you love the conditioner and appreciate its benefits.
Your note about the scent is valuable, and we'll consider it for future formulations. We can certainly add a drop or a few of what you would like.
Just let us know.
We look forward to serving you again!

I love your squalane. It's a must for day and night. Love the way my skin feels and looks!
Thank you so much.
Thank you, Joanne 🙌
It's always so nice to hear when a customer loves a product or in this case, an ingredient.
We're thrilled to hear you love our Squalane. It's wonderful to know it makes such a positive difference for your skin. Squalane Oil has become insanely popular the past few years.
We appreciate your support and enthusiasm.

I love this serum so much. I have sensitive skin, and use this once a week so it lasts a while, and it makes such a big difference. Smooths lines, cleans pores, and evens skin tone.

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.

Feels great on the skin
Feels great on the skin. I use it after cleansing but before serums, and it feels much more useful than a mineral water spray. I also like that it can be used throughout the day for a little boost. I had it in my purse last time I took a flight and I think it helped my skin stay happy during the journey.

I recommend it to everyone!
I love this schampoo!! I was a little skeptical if an all natural shampoo would work, especially since I have fine, straight hair that tends to get greasy after only a couple of days with regular high quality shampoos, but this really works. I can go for 3 full days without washing it and I immediately noticed how powder soft my hair felt after the first wash. I think it even washes out the hard water. I will definitely be buying this again!
