Garden of Wisdom's Classic Chamomile Face Cream with Emu Oil is a decadent yet simple face cream. Great for adding your own actives, and perfect for all skin types. Moisturizes effectively without leaving a greasy layer of residue on the skin.
NOTE: New option available if you are looking for a lighter texture - see our Lighter Version(located under the formula option), which contains Sugarmulse(emulsifier) instead of Polawax NF.
Method of Application Apply a pea sized to a dime sized amount, depending on what your skin needs, after the water soluble phase of your routine. This should be the final phase of layering in your skin care routine, as it will help to hold moisture and nutrients in 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.

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!

Best thing I have ever done for my face
I used to shy away from heavier creams as I have oily skin and a history of acne. But there is something about this face cream, it feels like mayonnaise when you put it on but it just absorbs so quickly and leaves you dewy, not greasy, and very moisturized. (My doctor actually asked me if I'd been getting laser peels done and...nope! Just this and a basic gentle face wash and sunscreen.) I recommend it to everyone I know.
Oh my gosh Paula, thank YOU! We love to hear reviews like this! They make our day and make everything we do come into full perspective!!
Appreciating you for taking the time to write this review!

Classic
I've been using this moisturizer (lighter version) for a few years now. It is fantastic! I find I can use it all year round. In the winter my face feels protected from the cold and wind, and in the summer it feels great when I've gotten too much sun. So soothing and doesn't leave my skin feeling oily. An all around great product!
This is an often overlooked product!
Glad you are liking it! Thank you :)
Well…first off, I need to confess I did not pay attention and I have been using this on my face. Just a drop but it’s been really great! In the winter my skin is so dry and needs an oil and this is what I had so…I used it. No complaints, it did the job and my skin is really clear and hydrated. I will have to get the face version and use this for my body but I do really like it!
Bakuchiol Body Bliss Oil (Body Only)
Amy de Gorgue
The results are INCREDIBLE
I’ve tried so many eye creams and serums over the years and nothing has come close to Beautiful Eyes Serum w/Regu-age! The skin around my eyes is extremely sensitive and I’ve had reactions to most products—ranging from burning and irritation to clogged pores and increased milia. This serum has caused zero side effects and is very soothing to my sensitive skin. That alone would have been enough to keep me coming back for more… but the results have been ASTOUNDING!!!
Beautiful Eyes has truly taken years off of my appearance! My eyes look larger than they have in years because the product does such an incredible job tightening the skin on my eyelids! I’ve also seen a DRASTIC reduction in the lines underneath my eyes and my crows feet are nearly non-existent when I’m not smiling. I’m blown away!!
Every time I get complimented on my youthful appearance, I always recommend Garden of Wisdom and this magical serum. Thank you, Markey, for crafting the cleanest, most effective products on the market! I’ll be a customer for life!!!

Adipofill Serum
As a senior I didn't know what to expect. However, in the last two weeks I have noticed that my deep wrinkles look smoother and fuller. i realize it's important to persevere if one wants to make a change. So I'll continue using it morning and night. Thank you for a quality product!
This is the best cream for “mature” skin. I have tried many highly recommended expensive products but this is the only one that actually works, together with a couple of other GOW products as recommended by Jen, to give my skin that “youthful glow” as commented on by my friends. I especially appreciate the natural ingredients with no strange chemicals!
However, as good as this cream is, it is eclipsed by the amazing customer service and suggestions from Jen who tolerated my multiple questions and responded so quickly that I felt as if I was their only customer!
Thank you Jen and GOW for all your help and wonderful products.

Magical for my whole body!
I love using this on my body. It's magical on knees and elbows. Definitely reviving for dry/rough skin and magical for the rest of my body. Hope this gets made into a body lotion.

So far I like the PPSO and the way the oil quickly absorbs into the skin

Banishes redness
Bought this for my husband to treat redness on his face. It's hard to get him to use products. Started with a sample. I worked, so he asked me to order more. He must really like it. Thanks Garden of Wisdom!

Great for clogged pores
This product works well on my sensitive skin. It has helped clear clogged pores on my nose as well as reduce small bumps that frequently appear on my cheeks. I'll keep this one on hand at all times.

I’ve never used oil based cleanser before; I was hesitant to try it because I have combination skin
I’ve never used oil based cleanser before; I was hesitant to try it because I have combination skin. My T zone does feel a bit oily when I’m done using this product but before long that diminishes. So for winter weather, this product has been fine - will have to see how it goes once the hot, humid weather returns
Hi there! We're glad to hear that you gave our Blemish Prone Cleansing Oil a chance, even though you were hesitant at first. We understand that combination skin can be tricky to manage, especially with oil-based products. We're happy to hear that the oiliness has diminished after using the product and that it has been fine for you during the winter weather.
We recommend continuing to use it and monitoring its performance during the hot and humid weather.
Thank you for trying our product.

⋆.˚✮ ✮˚.⋆ for taking the time to share this. Hearing that you’re noticing your skin look smoother and fuller with continued use means a great deal to us.
Skincare changes take patience, and your note about perseverance really resonates. As someone who is almost 70 myself, I understand how important it is to give the skin time and consistency, and to choose products that feel supportive rather than aggressive.
Thank you for your trust and for being part of Garden of Wisdom.
