Ceramide Complex with aging, skin loses its youthful moisture, suppleness, and smoothness. Thanks to the loss of essential ceramide molecules, skin ceramides makeup 50% of the lipids in the extracellular "cement" that binds together protective cells in the outermost skin layer, the stratum corneum, loss of skin ceramides renders aging skin permeable to moisture, leaving skin dry, rough, and itchy; ceramide loss is also a major contributor to wrinkles. Leucidal SF(lactobacillus fermentation) has no parabens and is not formaldehyde-releasing. Cupuacu Butter is considered a “super-moisturizer” because of its hydrophilic (water-loving) properties. Cupuacu Butter restores elasticity to the skin while providing anti-oxidants and hydration
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.
I love this lip balm! I have super dry lips from previously using Accutane twice, as well as having an autoimmune condition that leads to dry skin. My skin and lips are sensitive, and I have had no issues with this lip balm. It is nourishing and has not caused any breakouts. It has become a staple that I always want to have with me. I keep some in my nightstand, my purse, my office, and my table downstairs. It is THAT good! I look forward to ordering more when it is back in stock.
Hi Kim 😊
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We are so ❤️happy to hear that our lip balm has been gentle, nourishing, and a true staple for you. It means a lot to know it has been helpful for your sensitive skin and lips, especially given your history with dryness.
We look forward to having it back in stock for you soon.
Warmest wishes, and thank you for your continued support for GOW.

THE One!
My favorite lip balm of all time. This doesn’t just coat your lips. It treats them and then you can actually stop using it because it’s not addictive. Now that I’m over 60, my lips seem to get dry more often. I’m using it before bed every night or every other night to keep the dryness from getting worse.
Thank you Margie for the amazing review.
This Healing Lip Balm is one of our top sellers and for good reason ;-)
Everyone here loves it as well. I'm so glad you touched on the 'addictive' part of lip products!
Not many even realize this is happening.
Again, thank you and thank you for being such a long time customer.

AH-MAZING!!!!!!
I’m a lip balm junkie; I’ve tried them ALL. Recently I started my search for an all-natural, non-toxic lip balm. The two I bought elsewhere were causing my lips to flake. I was worried I was going to have to go back to the toxic, waxy balms, until I tried this.
This balm is mind-blowingly amazing!!!! My lips cleared up overnight. They are now soft, supple and flake free. This balm lasts after you apply it; my lips stay hydrated for hours and hours (even through eating and drinking). I’m quite simply BLOWN AWAY.
I will NEVER be without this again; it’s now a holy grail product for me.
Thank you for this beautiful balm, and please never stop making it!
What a beautiful review!! We love that this is helping you so much :) This is a staff fave as well :)

Very nourishing, great under matte lipstick
This feels very nourishing on the lips. It's also excellent under matte lipsticks that are otherwise hard to apply and feel/look dry. The only cons are that it doesn't smell or taste of chocolate and that it doesn't stay put all night. Its smells and tastes like the raw ingredients and you have to reapply it every couple of hours. I haven't tried a lip balm in a stick that stays put all night yet anyway. IM happy with it! The ingredients are lovely.

Updated Review
I’ve left a review before about how much I love this stuff, but I just wanted to update to say I love the new formula even more. It has been a blessing for my dry lips and has really made a difference in how often I deal with chapping and peeling. I have them in multiple places throughout my house, so I always have one nearby. :)
I’ve been trying many of the cleansers that GOW makes and I love them all, but I think this is my absolute favorite so far. The texture is absolutely luxurious and I love the smell. It’s really gentle on my sensitive skin yet leaves it feeling clean and soft. Thanks for another great product, GOW!

VISIBLE EFFECTS IN AGING SKIN
This product has made the most difference to fine lines and wrinkles of any one product I use, especially in DEEP FROWN LINES IN LOWER FACE - and I use a lot of serums! It is definitely worth the price - the most I've ever spent on any skincare product. After trying the small-sized bottle, I purchased the 4 oz bottle at regular price and bought another bottle two weeks later during GOW's spring sale!
I’m really loving this hand cream. It’s super luxurious and at the same time not too heavy or thick. It feels greasy at first, which I happen to like because my skin is really dry, but then it absorbs quickly.

Great oil
Great oil, smells nice and worked well for my beard oil blend. I did some research and this was a non-typical carrier oil I wanted to try. Leaves a nice shine and absorbs well.

I just started using this product
I just started using this product, thus it is too soon to write a review since I have only used this product 3 times.

Margie,
This is so lovely to read… thank you
It means a lot, especially knowing you’ve tried so many of our cleansers. We’re really glad this one is standing out for
you… that balance of gentleness, softness, and still feeling clean is exactly what we hope for.
Our best, always your GoW team and Jen, of course ℒ ♡

Lyn ... Thank you!
This means so much… truly ❤️
Hearing that it’s making a visible difference, especially in deeper lines, is something we never take lightly. And the fact that you came back for the larger size, and then again during the sale… that kind of trust means everything to us.
Thank you for sharing this so thoughtfully.
Markey, Jen, and our amazing team ͙֒

Hi Margie!
This is such a good description
That “rich at first but absorbs quickly” feeling is exactly the sweet spot… I’m so glad your skin is loving it.
NOTE: My skin loves it too. My hands are about to turn 70 (nothing else, of course), and this is very comforting.
Thank you for being a lovely customer and friend.
