Restore balance to irritated, inflamed, or overworked skin with our Repair and Recovery Facial Mist Botanical Relief for Stressed, Sensitive Skin is a calming facial mist made from potent herbal infusions and soothing botanicals. Designed specifically for sensitive skin and those prone to redness, itchiness, or inflammation, this gentle formula promotes deep hydration, helps repair the skin barrier, and provides relief from discomfort.
At the heart of this soothing mist is Lemon Balm Hydrosol, an antioxidant-rich hydrosol known for its cooling, calming, and relaxing effects on the skin. A restorative blend of herbal teas, including Calendula, Marshmallow Root, Arnica Blossom, Meadowsweet Blossom, Plantain Leaf, and Chickweed, delivers anti-inflammatory, healing, and anti-itch benefits while forming a lightweight, breathable film to protect the skin barrier. Infused with Marrubium Extract, a powerful botanical active that helps reduce redness and irritation, and enriched with Larch Tree Extract for antioxidant and water-binding support, this elixir replenishes and soothes without clogging pores. Gum Arabic provides a light, natural thickening effect, while Leucidal SF, a probiotic-based preservative, keeps this formula safe and friendly to the microbiome. Whether you're treating sun-exposed skin, post-treatment irritation, or general sensitivity flare-ups, this botanical recovery serum is your daily go-to for comfort, hydration, and healing.
Method of Application Use this facial mist as needed to soothe and heal the affected area. Use as needed for maintenance.
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.

Magic in a bottle!
This product has become a required staple in my skincare routine. I use it everyday on my very sensitive skin that is prone to redness and dryness. Not only is it extremely calming and soothing, but it also makes my skin look more plump and moisturized. I never want to be without this product; it has shot to the top of my "best skincare products of all time" list, next to the gentle cleansing gel. I highly recommend trying this if you have sensitive or aging skin that needs a boost of rejuvenation.

Always calms my skin
I love this serum. It has helped my skin whenever it got irritated. I tried “Oh No! What did I do to my skin?” serum and I want to say I liked the consistency of that one more, but for those looking for a lighter serum, “Repair and Recovery” would be perfect.
We are so happy this serum is being loved by you! Thank you!

miracle product for irritated skin
This serum has become my favorite product in a long time! My skin is extremely sensitive and prone to breakouts which means Im always looking for products that will reduce redness and inflammation. Well this serum is incredible for just that! I will be ordering the largest size asap.
One of our favorite products to recommend for our sensitive skin customers!
This is delightful. I think it was on sale or I got a.sample to try and loved it. One thing to note: it smells lovely but does not smell like mango. I misunderstood that the first time I ised it. It light, rich, absorbs easily, and leaves no weird texture afterwards. A very lovely experience.
🌼🌼🌼 Thank you for your lovely review! We're glad you enjoyed the cream and its texture. We'll keep in mind your note about the scent. Hope you continue to love it!
The Mango you are referencing is the Mango Butter as we don't use fragranced oils in our products. We can add some scents just contact us privately as we have essential oils and blends that you may enjoy.
Thank you, again,

Thanks for sharing your experience!

Love this new formula with the frankincense so much that I had to get the larger size! I've been using hyaluronic acid plus squalane oil as a moisturizer because I couldn't find a moisturizer that didn't irritate my face or make it drier. I like that this balm has a few simple amazing ingredients with no added fragrance or preservatives. It doesn't irritate my skin or flare up my rosacea. This is the only moisturizer that has actually provided hydration for my skin. I use a small dab at night so the product lasts for many months and leaves my skin with a healthy glow.
Hi Teresa, your review truly makes us smile. I always read reviews out loud and I know the staff here is very proud of their work. Knowing this facial balm works so well for your skin is awesome to hear! Thank you for sharing your experience and for being a loyal customer.
Wishing you continued glowing skin!

Such a lovely oil!
Such a lovely oil!
It glides on so smoothly, feels like a substantial oil without leaving me greasy, and I love that it has a mild color so I can put it on directly. I live in the Southwest so it’s so fun to use the oil from a plant that I see around me all the time! Thank you Garden of Wisdom for being the oasis in the desert and delivering such wonderful products!
