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.
Spring Water hydrating Banana Distillate hydrating, wonderful, natural scent Glutathione healing, encourages healthy cell development it is the major anti-oxidant produced by the body. Antioxidants such as vitamins C or E cannot be made by your body and in fact could not work properly if glutathione were not present. ^Our immune systems depend on a steady supply of glutathione. Without it, our immune defenses become weakened. It is important in detoxifying many substances including heavy metals, breakdown products of cigarettes and automobile exhaust, many cancer-causing agents, and a multitude of pollutants and toxins we encounter on a daily basis. The major source of energy produced in our cells is derived from tiny structures called mitochondria. These mitochondria would literally burn up without the presence of glutathione.

Hi! I’ve used this after home dermarolling and it soothes and calms my red treated skin. The scent is light and refreshing. Thank you!
Hi Erika
This is really an outstnading serum for soothing redness and calming the skin down after
invasive treatments. You might be the first to say the scent is light and refreshing though.
The glutathione is the trick but can be pretty strong for many people. They do power through
it because it works so well.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review.

Banana Serum ("Day-O!")
I like this serum a lot in finding it quite soothing. I am currently waiting to see how it does in helping me to heal a recently damaged skin barrier (am now 6 weeks into using it on a routine basis) and get my once pretty skin back. It has a delightful but subtle, natural banana aroma. I'm not sure yet how it does in subduing my barrier-compromised redness/blotchiness, but then it also seems my skin has been adversely reacting to another product I've been using for the same length of time. Hopefully, now that I've omitted said product, the Banana Healing Serum may now be able to work some magic to alleviate the blotchy look.
My only gripe is how the aim of the 1oz. bottle's dispenser can be somewhat off: I've had it hit my shirt rather than the palm of my hand several times now, so I try and press down on the top as gently as possible to avoid wasting any product. I've not noticed this issue with two other GoW serums I've got which are in the same sort of bottle. I'm likely to buy a 4 ounce bottle of this particular serum next time so, at least then, that issue will be moot.
Thank you for taking the time to review this product! We're so glad it is soothing!

I use the Banana Healing Serum on one area at the bridge of my nose. It has the combined power of calming down the redness and smelling great.
One of our most popular Rosacea/Sensitive skin products! Thank you :)

Awesome!
I have combination skin and at times it can be dehydrated and oily at same time, it's crazy! I don't know what I would do without the Banana Healing Serum, it really repairs my skin overnight. I really don't smell any banana? This miracle in a bottle is awesome, I LOVE it and will never go without. :)
This serum has really reduced my redness! It's especially helpful any time my skin is freaking out - it seems to reduce the time it takes for breakouts to heal. The hydration and consistency are exactly what I needed as an extra step between my hydrating toner and moisturizer. Also, a friend I was catching up with actually commented on my "glow" - I thought that was only something that happened to people with naturally good skin.
Hi Katie,
What a wonderful review, thank you! We love hearing how you’re using the Calming Moisture Serum between toner and moisturizer, and even more that it’s helping calm redness and speed up healing when your skin acts up.
That “glow” compliment from your friend is the best feedback of all. Proof your skin is really happy.
Warmly,
The Garden of Wisdom Team ❤️
This cream is really helping to balance my combination dehydrated skin. I'm using the lighter version. It doesn't seem to be clogging my pores or causing any breakouts, which I can't say for many other moisturizers. It's a strong contender for a permanent spot in my routine.
Thank You, Katie 😊❣️
So glad the Chamomile Cream is keeping your skin balanced and breakout-free, that’s the best outcome we could hope for!
Your GoW Team
I have very red and easily irritated skin. This product annihilates the redness overnight. I had been really struggling to find something that helped and this was the only thing that did. It didn't irritate my skin in any way when applied. If there's a moisturizer to match in the future, I volunteer as the guinea pig lol. Thank you for a wonderful product.
Hi Jen!
Thank you for taking the time to write this review. The Tepezcohuite Calming & Brightening Complex has become popular, and for the same reasons, it has helped your skin. We are so happy for you!

I have very sensitive acne prone skin so I dont often try new things, especially masks that can be harsh. This left my skin soft and hydrated, it tingled slightly but left no redness.
Hi Jenn
Thank you for sharing your experience with our Sulfur Clearing Mask. We are pleased to hear that it worked well for your sensitive skin and left it feeling soft and hydrated. We understand the importance of using gentle products for acne-prone skin and we're glad to know this mask did not cause any redness. Thank you for giving our product a chance and we hope it continues to meet your expectations.
Have a beautiful day,
Markey
Smells divine and glides across the skin! Delicious!
Ann,
What a perfect way to describe this product.
Keep us updated with your results? It's always nice to know when products do and even when they don't give the expected results.

I have never been able to use vitamin C of any kind on my face. Not sure what the difference is here but this one works great and doesn't bother me at all! I think it's helping even out my skin tone but I've only been using it maybe a month so far and in my experience you have to give things at least three months to really see results. But so far so good!

Seeing Results!
I got the 10 ml. size to sample the product and see if it does what it claims. My skin seems to like products with niacinamide in them so I thought it couldn't hurt to try TXA+Z. I'm happy to say that I'm beginning to see results regarding fading of stubborn after-blemish hyperpigmentation on my face and, while I use other products for this purpose as well, I think the TXA+Z is doing most of the heavy lifting at this point. I like the feel of this serum and have been using it in the morning. I'm back to get the 1 oz. size before I run out.
This product is amazing. My skin looks and feels better after only a couple of weeks. I am pleased. Thank you Mother Earth for the gifts Garden of Wisdom uses from you. Thank you Garden of Wisdom for using these gifts for our benefit. Blessings to all of you
