Garden of Wisdom's Oat Enriched Facial Serum is a luxurious blend that draws on the time-honored healing properties of oats and honey to deliver profound hydration and rejuvenation for your skin. Known for their calming effects, oats work to soothe and comfort irritated skin, forming a protective barrier that seals in moisture while promoting softness and healing. This enriching formula not only alleviates redness and irritation but also minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, unveiling a visibly smoother and more radiant complexion. Transform your skincare routine with the power of nature and experience the radiant glow you deserve.

Method of Application
Apply 4-5 drops to moistened skin. Pat in gently. Continue with your routine. When your skin is irritated or inflamed just apply and leave the other products for a bit later.   
    Trust your instincts.

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.

Shipping Transit Note:
Some customers have asked whether products can be affected by time in transit, especially during warmer months. Our products are formulated and preserved to remain stable during normal shipping times and should not spoil simply from being in transit.

That said, if you are concerned about heat exposure, you are welcome to add an ice pack to your order for extra peace of mind. Click here to add an ice pack.

Oat Beta Glucans offer powerful healing, anti-aging, anti-irritant, and anti-itch benefits by penetrating the Cellular Lipid Matrix, the core structure of skin lipids. This ability allows them to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles effectively. Additionally, they serve as an excellent moisturizer with film-forming properties that lock in hydration. Oat Beta Glucans work synergistically with the skin’s natural dermal properties to create a stronger, more resilient complexion by stimulating collagen synthesis.
