Sunflower Seed Oil is conditioning, nourishing, protective, and effectively relieves skin conditions like eczema and dermatitis. Castor Oil is very emollient and excellent for lip products, conditioning, anti-aging, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory. Olive Wax leaves a velvety non-oily feel on the lips, almost like a protective layer that restricts moisture loss while enhancing the suppleness of your skin. Cocoa Butter replenishes the skin's moisture and creates a barrier to protect it from moisture loss. Compared to other oils and creams, cocoa butter tends to be absorbed well without leaving the skin greasy. Candelilla Wax emollient, and a skin-protective barrier agent that helps prevent the skin from losing moisture. Castor Wax helps emulsify and thicken lotions and creams, hold together lip and body balms, and form a protective barrier between skin and the environment. Cocoa Butter is an antioxidant, excellent barrier protection holding in the lip’s moisture. Mango (seed) Butter is rich in unsaponifiables, making it highly emollient. Its especially high content of oleic acid makes it comparable to Cocoa Butter in moisture-sealing properties. Liquid Crystals(cholesterol) could possibly offer protection from UV damage.

Oat Beta Glucans healing, anti-aging, anti-irritant, anti-itch, since it can work through the Cellular Lipid Matrix it lends itself to diminishing the appearance of fine line and wrinkles, excellent moisturizer with film forming moisturizing properties, stimulates collagen synthesis (meaning to create a matrix by combining actual dermis properties synergistically). Manuka Honey 17+ antimicrobial, bacteria inhibitor, healing, the list goes on and on and on and... Prickly Pear Seed Oil is exotic and rich. It conditions the skin, nourishes it, and restores the pH balance while smoothing wrinkles. This oil is a favorite with everyone who works at GoW. Ceramide Complex with aging, skin loses its youthful moisture, suppleness, and smoothness. Thanks to the loss of essential ceramide molecules, skin ceramides makeup 50% of the lipids in the extracellular "cement" that binds together protective cells in the outermost skin layer, the stratum corneum, loss of skin ceramides renders aging skin permeable to moisture, leaving skin dry, rough, and itchy; ceramide loss is also a major contributor to wrinkles. Leucidal SF(lactobacillus fermentation) has no parabens and is not formaldehyde-releasing. Cupuacu Butter is considered a “super-moisturizer” because of its hydrophilic (water-loving) properties. Cupuacu Butter restores elasticity to the skin while providing anti-oxidants and hydration
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.
I love this lip balm! I have super dry lips from previously using Accutane twice, as well as having an autoimmune condition that leads to dry skin. My skin and lips are sensitive, and I have had no issues with this lip balm. It is nourishing and has not caused any breakouts. It has become a staple that I always want to have with me. I keep some in my nightstand, my purse, my office, and my table downstairs. It is THAT good! I look forward to ordering more when it is back in stock.
Hi Kim 😊
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We are so ❤️happy to hear that our lip balm has been gentle, nourishing, and a true staple for you. It means a lot to know it has been helpful for your sensitive skin and lips, especially given your history with dryness.
We look forward to having it back in stock for you soon.
Warmest wishes, and thank you for your continued support for GOW.

THE One!
My favorite lip balm of all time. This doesn’t just coat your lips. It treats them and then you can actually stop using it because it’s not addictive. Now that I’m over 60, my lips seem to get dry more often. I’m using it before bed every night or every other night to keep the dryness from getting worse.
Thank you Margie for the amazing review.
This Healing Lip Balm is one of our top sellers and for good reason ;-)
Everyone here loves it as well. I'm so glad you touched on the 'addictive' part of lip products!
Not many even realize this is happening.
Again, thank you and thank you for being such a long time customer.

AH-MAZING!!!!!!
I’m a lip balm junkie; I’ve tried them ALL. Recently I started my search for an all-natural, non-toxic lip balm. The two I bought elsewhere were causing my lips to flake. I was worried I was going to have to go back to the toxic, waxy balms, until I tried this.
This balm is mind-blowingly amazing!!!! My lips cleared up overnight. They are now soft, supple and flake free. This balm lasts after you apply it; my lips stay hydrated for hours and hours (even through eating and drinking). I’m quite simply BLOWN AWAY.
I will NEVER be without this again; it’s now a holy grail product for me.
Thank you for this beautiful balm, and please never stop making it!
What a beautiful review!! We love that this is helping you so much :) This is a staff fave as well :)

Very nourishing, great under matte lipstick
This feels very nourishing on the lips. It's also excellent under matte lipsticks that are otherwise hard to apply and feel/look dry. The only cons are that it doesn't smell or taste of chocolate and that it doesn't stay put all night. Its smells and tastes like the raw ingredients and you have to reapply it every couple of hours. I haven't tried a lip balm in a stick that stays put all night yet anyway. IM happy with it! The ingredients are lovely.

Updated Review
I’ve left a review before about how much I love this stuff, but I just wanted to update to say I love the new formula even more. It has been a blessing for my dry lips and has really made a difference in how often I deal with chapping and peeling. I have them in multiple places throughout my house, so I always have one nearby. :)

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₍⑅^..^₎♡
This product has become a required staple in my skincare routine. I use it everyday on my very sensitive skin that is prone to redness and dryness. Not only is it extremely calming and soothing, but it also makes my skin look more plump and moisturized. I never want to be without this product; it has shot to the top of my "best skincare products of all time" list, next to the gentle cleansing gel. I highly recommend trying this if you have sensitive or aging skin that needs a boost of rejuvenation.
MW 😊
Your words touch our hearts. Thank you for sharing how Repair and Recovery Facial Mist has become a part of your daily ritual. It was created for moments exactly like this, to help calm and comfort skin that needs a little extra care. Knowing it’s bringing balance and radiance to your sensitive skin keeps us inspired.
We’ll also pass along your kind mention of the Gentle Cleansing Gel, which is a perfect pairing.
With gratitude,
Markey & the Garden of Wisdom family
Cannot speak to effectiveness due just starting to use. However, so far, it feels good on my skin and does not break me out as many other products do. The ingredients are wonderful.
Hi Nadine 😊
This is a perfect place to start! When a product 'feels good,' that is the green light to keep testing it.
Please keep us updated. It will take some time to show real results, so continue to be patient.

Great to have on hand if you use a lot of actives!
Sometimes, you just need a great soothing moisturizer, and this one is my new favorite! I recently graduated from using retinol to tretinoin and whoaaaaa boy. All my other creams had actives that were only making the tret burn worse. This was perfect for helping soothe my skin, and now I use it to buffer the tret!
Hi Amanda
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We're always pleased to hear when a product is working for our cherished customers.

We understand the struggle with using actives like tretinoin, and we're happy to hear that our cream has helped soothe your skin. We're always here to provide you with the best products for your skincare needs.
Thank you for choosing our brand!
Markey and the Team From GoW
I'm not sure what happened to this formula in the last handful of years but it pills up terribly. I thought maybe it was a product I was using, but then I realized that even on perfectly clean dry skin washed with plain soap, it was the product drying and then pilling on itself as I was applying more.
I used to LOVE this stuff (especially if my skin was sensitive from actives), so I thought this had to be from improperly storing it or something. My brand new jar did the same thing, though (and it was a large jar!).
Highly recommend spending less on a small jar before learning the hard way. Maybe they have or can fix the issue!

This is a great product
This is a great product. My hair is 3 feet long and was recently destroyed when negligent doctors soaked my hair in saline solution for 4 long hours during my surgery which caused all my hair to break off. I'm devastated. I've been using this product because the ingredients are so good particularly the pea sprout peptide. I believe it's helping with the damage my hair sustainedy

Gratitude to Garden of Wisdom!
The dedicated team at GOW have collaborated with me to develop a skin care routine that works to include a custom blended facial cleanser and moisture products for mature skin. I use the Rosacea Serum along with the Renew and Defend Elixir and Rose Stem Cell Peptide daily. I no longer use prescription creams to manage my rosacea! Their responsiveness to my many questions and attentive care to orders proves the integrity of this small family run business. These people put their heart into sourcing natural ingredients and creating formulas that are gentle and effective. I feel great about supporting this business !

Spray on the go! 😍
Thought to try this for the first time and I don’t regret it. It feels hydrating and refreshing. The spray works great for reapplication.
