Garden of Wisdom's Follicle Stimulator is a targeted scalp treatment thoughtfully formulated FREE of essential oils. Whether you have a sensitive scalp, prefer fragrance-free formulas, or simply prefer to avoid essential oils, this lightweight formula delivers advanced peptide support without weighing down the hair.

Healthy-looking hair begins with a healthy scalp. That's why we selected Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3, Red Clover Blossom Extract, Copper Tripeptide-1 (GHK-Cu), Niacinamide, Caffeine, Biotin, and nourishing amino acids to support the scalp, condition the hair, and encourage an optimal environment for fuller, healthier-looking hair. We chose every ingredient because it serves a purpose, not because it's trendy.

Marshmallow Root Infusion helps soothe and hydrate the scalp, while Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5) and Keratin Amino Acids help improve softness, strength, and resilience without leaving the hair feeling heavy or greasy.

Like every Garden of Wisdom formula, this product is made in small batches using carefully selected ingredients and preserved with Leucidal® SF and AMTicide® Coconut to help maintain freshness. No essential oils. No added fragrance. Just thoughtfully chosen ingredients working together to support a healthy-looking scalp and beautiful hair.

Method of Application
Apply generously and directly to a clean scalp, concentrating on the areas where support is desired. Massage gently into the scalp. Allow the product to absorb for 20–30 minutes before applying other hair-care products. It may also be applied in the evening and left on overnight. Use consistently for best cosmetic results.

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.
