Garden of Wisdom's Natural Majik Myrrh Hydrosol Gel refines the complexion while also smoothing out fine lines on the face. Great for any skin type, especially sensitive and Rosacea-prone skin, because of its calming and hydrating properties. A hard-to-find ingredient, Myrrh Resin heals and boosts the reparative process of damaged or sensitive skin. Myrrh is exceptionally soothing for irritated skin.
Formulated in a liposome base, our Hydrosol Gels penetrate the epidermis more quickly than other hydrators while offering the properties of each hydrosol used. Hydrosol Gels restore water, nutrients, and moisture to the skin with a balance of corresponding essential oils formulated in a gel base.
Method of Application Apply a few drops of this serum on your clean fingertips, and smooth it across clean skin. Use during the water-soluble phase of your skin routine (after you cleanse, tone, and exfoliate, but before you apply any oils or creams).
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.
Myrrh Hydrosol refines complexion, smoothes out tiny lines, soothing, healing, great for sensitive skin
Liposome Base (soy based) penetration enhancer Liposomes frequently favor the disposition of encapsulated active ingredients in the epidermis and dermis, while the permeation rate is decreased. This helps to fix active ingredients to the outermost skin layers as desired for cosmetic products. Simultaneously, the washing out may be delayed so that, for example, aqueous sun care products containing liposome-encapsulated UV filters are water resistant.

I wanted to try this gel because it sounded so good but I am allergic to most essential oils. I got a sample and have been using it over the last two weeks and my skin seems to accept it and benefit from it. I am pairing it with the Decadent Oat Enriched Emulsion no scent. These two combined make my skin feel so soft and hydrated. I also love the smell of the Myrr!
Hi Liz!
I just responded to another post you made so this may be redundant but please know we truly appreciate your kind words and time to respond for us.
It's great to hear that you've found a gel that works well for your skin, especially given your allergy to most essential oils. It's always a relief to discover products that suit your needs and enhance your skin's health. Pairing it with the Decadent Oat Enriched Emulsion must be a lovely combination for moisture and softness. Plus, enjoying the scent of Myrrh Co2 Extract (which is very rich in scent yet so calming as well) adds a nice touch to your routine! Keep enjoying your skincare journey!
