Apple seed oil is beneficial for skin care for several reasons:
Moisturizing Properties: Apple seed oil is rich in fatty acids, such as oleic and linoleic acids, which are known for their moisturizing and nourishing properties. These fatty acids help to strengthen the skin's barrier, retaining moisture and keeping the skin hydrated.
Antioxidant Content: It contains natural antioxidants, including vitamin E and polyphenols. These antioxidants help protect the skin from environmental stressors such as pollution and UV radiation, which can lead to premature aging.
Skin Elasticity: Apple seed oil's emollient properties can improve skin elasticity, making the skin look firmer and more youthful.
Promotion of Clear Skin: The oil has been noted for its ability to promote a healthy and clear complexion, possibly due to its gentle and non-irritating properties, making it suitable for even sensitive skin types.
Collagen Production: Some studies suggest that apple seed oil, due to its nutrient-rich composition, may help promote collagen production, further aiding in skin renewal and rejuvenation.
Properties nutritional while promoting soft and supple skin, gentle, sweet aroma, rich in antioxidants, encourages cell renewal.
Botanical Name: Fuji and/or Red Star Apples Origin: Chile / Organic Extraction Method: Cold Pressed / Gently Refined Color: Translucent Light Green Derived From: The Seed Base Oil: Can be used up to 100% strength Shelf Life: 12-18 months Application: All skin profiles
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 got this as a sample and to be honest it blows everything out of the water…it’s surpassing all my expensive skin care creams and serums that I’m actually considering only using it! Crazy!
Michelle,
Thank you so much for your enthusiastic review!
We don't often hear about the more unique oils, so, this is quite lovely to read. Hopefully, others will see this review and jump on the Apple Seed Oil bandwagon (so to speak).
We appreciate your support and hope it continues to enhance your skincare routine. We love 'crazy'.

Good for emerging blemishes
I like this stuff! My blemishes are usually just tiny irritated white heads or bumps with nothing in them. If I put this on at night, things are much calmer in the morning. It even seems to have a minimizing effect on the few deep painful cystic guys I get, so they end up fading away rather than coming to the surface full of rage. And so far I haven't had any irritation (and I have very sensitive skin). I put this on after my last oil stage, after things have dried down a bit. I feel like that works best since I use it as a spot treatment, and putting it on under other stuff seems like it would just spread it around.

This is the best one!
This is the best one! My skin is sensitive to unusual things and the leucidal hyaluronic acid serums don't give me any issue. I prefer the honey to the regular because it helps my acne. I had to order the regular/pure HA serum last time and I definitely noticed breakouts lasting longer. Honey comb is the way to go!

Gentle non irritating niacinimide serum
Gentle, non irritating niacinimide serum. Another wonderful light and layerable product from GoW. I like how this serum plays well with my other products and it’s not sticky. This has been very helpful for my stepson’s oily teenage skin as well. Thank you!

Awesome progeline peptide repair serum
I have this product daily for over a year and my skin has never looked to smooth. It has helped my fine lines so much that they are barely visible
The product seems to soften the appearance of the skin
The product seems to soften the appearance of the skin. However, I need more time to test the product further. Have a great day.

I love that GOW offers such rare, natural items you can't find anywhere else
I love that GOW offers such rare items you can't find anywhere else. I have very sensitive skin/ type 2 rosacea. I cannot seem to use this directly on my face but I wash with water, then spray when wet a few sprays, let soak in for anti-aging, anti-bacterial benefits, gently press into skin, and wait a minute, then rinse, proceed with routine.

Great Product That is Giving Me Awesome Results
A few weeks ago I purchased the Advance Peptide Nail Support Serum because my finger nails have vertical ridges. I am using the serum every night and I am seeing great results. I have tried many other products over the past couple of years and was about to give up until I found the Advance Peptide Nail Support Serum.

Been using this for almost a decade!
I love this Lavender Recovery Gel so much. Whenever my skin is irritated or healing from something like a popped pimple, I always reach for this recovery gel and it noticeably speeds up the healing process. If my skin is really irritated, I'll apply a layer before bed and cover it with a bandage overnight, and the difference by morning is amazing! I keep the 1 oz pump at home and the 0.25 oz size in my travel toiletry bag, so I'm never without it when I need it. This is a 10/10 product, please never stop making it!
Lavender Recovery Gel – Calming, Soothing for Sensitive Skin
this seems like a very good product, but may be wrong for my skin type. i have rosacea and eczema, and mostly oily skin. i was hoping to find a product that would improve my heavily congested nose and chin without making all the red patches on my cheeks and eye area worse. i tried the product as both a toner and a facial spray, but found it slowly dried out my cheeks and made them redder. so now am am just applying only to my nose and cheeks, and it seems to be helping now, in conjunction with the oat serum. the product has the consistency of a typical toner, and it is scentless. it does not sting or burn when sprayed on, even in the eye area. it feels neither drying nor hydrating, and does not leave you looking greasy.
Hi Donna ♡
Thank you for sharing your experience with our Wild Black Cherry Bark Hydrosol. I'm glad to hear it's helping when used selectively.
We appreciate your detailed feedback and hope it continues to support your skin needs.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need further assistance!
Thought: you could add about 2-3% glycerin to amp up the hydration.

*ੈ✩༺Hello༻*ੈ✩
This is exactly what we hoped our unscented Locks of Lovely Shampoo would work for: gentle enough for those hot summer days when washing your hair becomes an almost-daily necessity! We’re especially happy to hear that it leaves your hair feeling so soft without relying on added fragrance.
Thank you for taking the time to share this!

“Coming to the surface full of rage” may be the best blemish description we have ever read 😂
We’re so happy the Sulfur Clearing Serum is helping those emerging bumps look calmer by morning, including the deeper, particularly stubborn ones. Sulfur can be a bit much for some sensitive skin, so we’re also glad you’ve found a careful spot-application method that works beautifully for yours.
Thankyou 🫶❤️ for such a thoughtful and wonderfully descriptive review!

This is such helpful feedback, Marian! Thank you 💕
Skin can be extraordinarily particular, and sometimes two very similar formulas behave quite differently. The honeycomb version combines the hydration of hyaluronic acid with honey’s naturally humectant and skin-comforting qualities, so it makes perfect sense that your skin has a definite favorite.
We’re delighted you found the one that keeps your sensitive skin happy and those stubborn blemishes from lingering!

Thank you 💕 Amber.
We’re especially happy to hear that one serum is working so nicely for two very different skin needs! Niacinamide can be remarkably useful for helping skin look more balanced, but a formula still needs to be comfortable enough to use consistently. Light, layerable and not sticky is exactly what we wanted this serum to be.
Thank you for sharing it with your stepson and for telling us how it’s working for both of you, Amber!
