Garden of Wisdom's Black Raspberry Seed Oil (this oil smells amazing)is a lightweight, fast-absorbing oil with many skin benefits. Rich in antioxidants, it is a powerful defense against free radicals, helping protect the skin from environmental stressors that contribute to premature aging. This oil is particularly notable for its high concentration of multiple forms of Vitamin E, which enhances its protective properties while also promoting skin repair and rejuvenation. In addition to its antioxidant benefits, Black Raspberry Seed Oil is abundant in essential fatty acids, including omega-3 and omega-6, which help to nourish and maintain a healthy skin barrier. These fatty acids support hydration, improve skin elasticity, and contribute to a smooth, supple complexion. With its lightweight texture and rapid absorption, Black Raspberry Seed Oil is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin. Its natural composition makes it an excellent addition to skincare formulations aimed at anti-aging, hydration, and overall skin health. Whether used alone or blended with other nourishing ingredients, Black Raspberry Seed Oil is versatile and beneficial in any skincare routine.

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.
I am loving this black raspberry seed oil. I put it on at night, leaving it on all night, and the next morning my skin is so hydrated and plump. I absolutely love it. Thanks GOW for allowing us to order samples. It really helps.
Appreciate this very lovely review!
