Garden of Wisdom's Synergistic Anti-inflammatory Niacinamide and B-5 Serum is a powerhouse formula designed to nourish, heal, and restore balance to the skin. Infused with potent anti-inflammatory ingredients, this serum effectively soothes damaged, irritated, and inflamed skin, making it an ideal solution for those struggling with acne, sensitivity, or signs of aging. Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) works to regulate oil production, refine pores, and brighten the complexion, while Pro-Vitamin B5 (Panthenol) deeply hydrates and strengthens the skin barrier, promoting overall resilience and repair. Whether you have youthful or mature skin, this advanced serum delivers a targeted blend of essential vitamins to enhance skin health, combat breakouts, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and redness. Gentle yet effective, it provides long-lasting hydration and protection, leaving your skin looking calm, clear, and radiant.
Method of Application Apply 2-3 drops to your skin before oils and creams. Spritzing with spring water or a hydrosol first will help the serum to penetrate the layers of the skin, and offer an easier and more complete application.
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 into a separate,sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator. Carrier and Exotic Oils - generally, you can refrigerate all carrier oils, although some very rich oils will solidify. This is fine. All you have to do is take it 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. There are some oils with a super long shelf life, like Coconut Cream and Jojoba Oil.
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 (whole or ground) should be kept in a dark, cool and dry location. Herbal (liquid) Extracts - these are created using grain alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents (properties) from each herb - root, trunk, leaves, and flowers. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be stored in the refrigerator or a dark, dry place. Other Raw Ingredients - i.e., Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc. will all have a different shelf life.
