Garden of Wisdom's Conditioning Cream Cleanser contains moisturizing ingredients like ceramides, oat protein, hyaluronic acid, and glycerin. These ingredients help hydrate the skin while cleansing, which is essential for managing eczema, as dry skin can trigger or worsen eczema symptoms. Individuals with eczema may have different sensitivities and preferences. Make sure to check our ingredients to make sure you do not have any issues with them. For eczema-prone skin, it's crucial to opt for a cleanser product formulated to gently clean the skin without stripping it of its natural oils. This is crucial for individuals with eczema, as their skin barrier is often compromised, and harsh cleansers can exacerbate dryness and irritation.
The exact cause ofEczemais not fully understood, but it is believed to be a combination of genetic and environmental factors. People with eczema often have a weakened skin barrier, which makes their skin more susceptible to irritants and allergens. When these triggers come into contact with the skin, it leads to an immune system reaction, resulting in the symptoms of eczema.
The symptoms of Eczemacan vary from person to person, but common signs include dry, itchy, and inflamed patches of skin. These patches can appear anywhere on the body but are most commonly found on the face, hands, elbows, and knees. Scratching the affected areas can worsen the condition and may lead to infections.
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 is not necessary, but it surely 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 alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents (properties) from each herbs - root, trunk, leaves, and flowers. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be kept in the refrigerator or a dark place. Other Raw Ingredients - i.e., Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc. will all have a different shelf life.
