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.
Aloe Vera Gel used in this formula for its ability to moisturize and heal

Spring Water hydrating
Hydrolyzed Keratin comprising an extensive part of our hair are the living cells keratinocytes, which produce keratin. When the outer layer of keratin is damaged, the hair becomes weak, flaky and unhealthy. Along with environmental pollutants, the use of coloring, bleaching, drying, curling, and ironing the hair will cause damage. Hydrolyzed keratin was found to have almost the same amino acids profile found on the human hair. This allows immediate replacement of cystine. During this mending stage the occurrence of dryness and split ends are reduced significantly. Since keratin is the strongest type of protein for your hair, this process allows your hair to become healthier, stronger, fuller and thicker.

After sustaining a LOT of damage from the lockdowns (stress), and then getting ready to sell our house and move, and then finally staying in an AirBnB for a month while our new house was being finished where the water was brutal, my hair was a damaged, nasty mess. Loving My Silky Hair Serum is perfect for my hair. Not too heavy in the summer, and still emollient in the winter. And it smells soooooooo good! I love this product.

Wow, it sounds like your hair has been on quite the rollercoaster ride! From the stress of lockdowns to the unpredictability of AirBnB water, (hahahaha I remember your story and the other guests) your locks have truly earned a medal for bravery! ️ But fear not, our Loving My Silky Hair Serum has swooped in like a superhero to save the day (and your hair)! Not too heavy in the summer yet still ready to battle winter dryness, what a versatile little miracle worker! And the smell? It's practically a hair perfume at this point! Here’s to silky strands and less “bad hair days!”
Keep rocking that luscious mane! I always need to give some love to horses.
You are always an inspiration. Markey
Skin is like smooth glass... non-invasive... simple and easy.... affordable... great stuff
What can I say? Garden of Wisdom's products are always lovely. This is one of the light, exfoliating products that gives an immediate glow with a finish like smooth glass, without any over-drying (or even any drying) effects).
Even my dentist and hygienist complimented my skin a few weeks ago.
I've been a GoW customer since my late 20s and I'm now 57. My skincare needs have, obviously, changed. However, as my skincare (and haircare) needs change, GoW always gives me what i need, based on what my skin needs.
I cannot do without Markey and Garden of Wisdom. No one will give you the personalized and individualized treatment services, clean products, clean raw ingredients, and custom formulations... Especially at a very affordable cost and fast shipping.

Love the progeline peptide repair serum
I love this serum! I’ve tried many things over the years but this takes the cake!
I am falling in love with the texture of GOW products. This is lightweight and GENTLE formula for mild acne and redness, I am still in the works of finalizing my routine but this is HERE to STAY! Honestly it's impossible to even find a similar product with this good of formulation without the excess ingrinets that can be sneaky and cause problems.

Great Overnight Jumpstart To Hairgrowth
I enjoy using this as an overnight scalp jumpstart to hair growth. It smells lovely and even though a little more heavy than other follicle stimulators, as it is intended to be rinsed out after overnight, it contains high end ingredients of competitor brands plus even better ingredients not found on the market. My scalp feels rejuvinated each use :)

AMAZING !
Love this serum. Does a great job of fighting current and future acne. Love how clean the ingredients list is!
I found GOW searching for progeline peptides, as it is supposed to be one of the best peptides for wrinkles, and I am so glad that I did. I love this serum and every other product I have tried. Thank you!
Hi Anonymous
Thank y♡u for this very cool review!
We are very confidant in the results this serum provides.
We are excited to hear back with your future results.
Your GOW Team 😊
I am amazed at how fast this works to fade my sun spots better than any treatment I've gotten to try and remove them. The fact that it gets rid of breakouts is an added bonus!
Hi Anonymous 😉
Thank you for this great review! This Clear, Brighten and Prevent is truly a game changer.
Sharing your success means that other may try this and find a secret weapon for their skincare arsenal.

Love this shampoo! I have an oily scalp but dry hair, and somehow this formula balances both. My hair is much softer (less breakage), and it doesn't need washing as often. It's remarkable that this works without conditioner.

We’re blushing, or maybe that’s just our shampoo bubbling with pride! Thank you for the lovely shoutout to Locks of Lovely Shampoo.
Balancing an oily scalp and dry ends is no small feat, but this shampoo understood the assignment.
We’re thrilled to hear your hair is feeling softer, stronger, and sassier with less wash-day drama (and no conditioner sidekick!).
Who knew one bottle could do it all? We might start calling it the overachiever of the shower shelf.
Thanks again for sharing the love your hair clearly has great taste. ♀️

I am loving this serum! Jen recommended this to me as a way to move away from moisturizers and creams. It is helping so much with redness, acne, and PD. My skin feels happier.

This is one of our most popular serums and for a great reason and exactly as you stated.
Happy skin is what we are all about. Maybe we should change our motto to this!
