Garden of Wisdom's Calendula Blossom Hydrating Mist contains calendula, which is very healing for inflamed, damaged or irritated skin. Calming and soothing, it is great for those with sensitive skin. Hydration. Hydrating. Hydrate. What do these really mean? Hydration is the process of replacing water back into the skin also known as TWL or transepidermal water loss. Hydration loss is usually although not always caused from evaporation. When our skin becomes dehydrated we will start noticing tightness of the skin and a more noticeable gathering of fine lines and wrinkles. Also, when we are using harsh ingredients or products for an extended period of time, this will contribute to dry, irritated, dehydrated and in general unhappy skin. So, hydrate from the inside out as much as possible and spritz your skin all day long if needed. GoW offers a plethora of hydrating methods.
100% Free of Synthetic Fragrance
Method of Application Apply throughout the day as needed and during the hydration stages of your routine before any hydrating gels. May also be used in place of a toner.
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.
I've been using another hydrating mist from GOW and have been very happy with it. But, I decided to try a different one because I like to experiment. Glad I did. I love the Calendula scent. And of course, it feels great on my skin too.
We really appreciate your review!
