Garden of Wisdom's Calendula Blossom Hydrating Mist contains calendula, healing inflamed, damaged, or irritated skin. It is calm and soothing and great for those with sensitive skin. Hydration. Hydrating. Hydrate. What do these mean? Hydration replaces water in the skin, also known as TWL or transepidermal water loss. Hydration loss is usually, although not always, caused by evaporation. When our skin becomes dehydrated, we will start noticing tight skin and a more noticeable gathering of fine lines and wrinkles. Also, using harsh ingredients or products for an extended period of time 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.
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.
This hydrosol spray has many uses. Ive had a hard time not finding a handmade one without glycerin or essential oils on Etsy that works for me. Very thankful for the unique products on GOW, very good customer service also.

Perfect for Dry/Cold Climates
This mist has a lovely (not overpowering) scent and is perfect for winter. I live in a climate that is humid in summer and cold & dry during fall/winter. I spritz this on my face throughout the day or whenever my skin feels thirsty. Perfect. I also like the other facial mist. Both are 5 stars. They cause me no irritation.

lovely scent
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!
