Garden of Wisdom's Amazing Skin Hydrator combines Hyaluronic Acid and Sodium PCA (two of the most bioavailable hydrating ingredients on the market). Supported by Aloe Vera and amped up by the stellar Ceramide Complex, this product is a powerhouse hydrator.
Method of Application Apply during the water-soluble phase of your routine, after you cleanse, tone, and apply all other serums, and before you apply any oils, lotions, or creams.
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.
Sodium PCA protects the skin against dryness by binding moisture to your dermis. It attracts water to the skin from the surrounding air
Ceramide Compound with aging, skin loses its youthful moisture, suppleness, and smoothness, thanks to the loss of essential ceramide molecules. Ceramides make up 50% of the lipids in the extracellular "cement" that binds together protective cells in the outermost skin layer, the stratum corneum. The loss of skin ceramides renders aging skin permeable to moisture, leaving skin dry, rough, and itchy, ceramide loss is also a major contributor to wrinkles.
Leucidal SF(lactobicillus ferment) natural preservative without parabens and does not release formaldehye
Updated review:
Been using It Just Happened since July. And it's happened! My dermatologist, said that my rosacea has improved to the point that she barely detected any redness. Plan to keep using It Just Happened as part of my Garden of Wisdom skin care routine.
Thank you so much for this update! :)

Simply soft
A great product. Just a few simple ingredients. I mix it with a drop of Rosacea Oil and pat it on. My skin feels (and looks) great. Thanks Garden of Wisdom!
