Garden of Wisdom's Wickedly Rich McDreamy Cream is highly regarded for its restorative and soothing properties. Formulated with handcrafted oat milk, gentle hydrosols, and nourishing sesame seed oil, this cream delivers a luxurious application that envelops the skin with antioxidants, antibacterial agents, and anti-inflammatory actives. The result is deeply moisturized, calm, and irritation-free skin, making it an excellent choice for a balanced skincare routine.
Shelf Life and Storage Information for Our Products and Ingredients
Finished Productsย - generally don't need to be refrigerated as they are preserved, but you canย refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. The shelf life for most products is 9-12 months.ย 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 dryย 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 Possibleย
Exfoliating Acidย - products have a shelf life of 9-12 months. The only things we don't suggestย refrigerating are the Mandelic Acid Serums or Salicylic Acid Serums, as they can crystallize inย the refrigerator. If this happens, you can set the product into a hot water bath to see if theย 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.ย ย ย
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.ย ย 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)ย 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 Moisturizer!
I have very dry skin and this is a new constant in my skincare routine. It feels thick going on, but quickly soaks in and does not leave any sort of greasy feeling. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite products!
Wendy ~
Oh my gosh!!! Mentioning the thickness and how it quickly melts in IS amazing ๐ฏ as we use zero obsure ingredients for this to happen.
We are all so happy to see this! Thank you for sharing your wonderful feedback!

Very helpful for problematic skin on the backs of my arms
I have struggled for years with the skin on the backs of my arms. I believed I was getting ingrown hairs, so in an effort to clear up the resulting bumps, I was using scrubs and loofahs and drying toners, only to have the problems become worse. I scratched as the bumps and created sores on my skin. I will not wear short sleeves in public because I am embarrassed by the sores and scars on my arms. I finally decided to just try being gentle with my skin because nothing else was working. I emailed GOW and Jen recommended this cream. I have used it for about a week now and my skin is actually healing. It doesn't feel dry and bumpy when I touch it, which means I am not tempted to pick at my skin and make it worse. I think it will take a lot of time and care to make my skin healthy again, but this product is helping where others have not. In hindsight, I think my skin was just very dry and was trying to heal itself but didn't have the moisture and nutrients to take care of itself. (I have also used this cream on my face a few times and it is really a lovely face cream as well. It goes on thick but once it is rubbed in it feels light and clean and my skin stays soft and smooth.)
Such a wonderful thing to hear! Thank you!

Wickedly Rich McDreamy cream is, hands-down, the best face moisturizer for winter
I have rosacea-leaning, otherwise normal, 52-year-old skin, and WRMDC is my cure for freezing cold, wind-blasting Michigan winters. It makes my face practically dewey and moonlights as a very lux hand cream. Only very oily skin might not benefit from it. I brought it with me to the Windy City for a women's weekend, and my friends kept sneaking dollops of it when I wasn't looking. Please never stop making it! It's a jewel in your excellent collection.
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!
