Sunflower Seed Oil is conditioning, nourishing, protective, and effectively relieves skin conditions like eczema and dermatitis. Castor Oil is very emollient and excellent for lip products, conditioning, anti-aging, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory. Olive Wax leaves a velvety non-oily feel on the lips, almost like a protective layer that restricts moisture loss while enhancing the suppleness of your skin. Cocoa Butter replenishes the skin's moisture and creates a barrier to protect it from moisture loss. Compared to other oils and creams, cocoa butter tends to be absorbed well without leaving the skin greasy. Candelilla Wax emollient, and a skin-protective barrier agent that helps prevent the skin from losing moisture. Castor Wax helps emulsify and thicken lotions and creams, hold together lip and body balms, and form a protective barrier between skin and the environment. Cocoa Butter is an antioxidant, excellent barrier protection holding in the lip’s moisture. Mango (seed) Butter is rich in unsaponifiables, making it highly emollient. Its especially high content of oleic acid makes it comparable to Cocoa Butter in moisture-sealing properties. Liquid Crystals(cholesterol) could possibly offer protection from UV damage.

It conditions the skin, nourishes it, and restores the pH balance while smoothing wrinkles. This oil is a favorite with everyone who works at GoW. Ceramide Complex with aging, skin loses its youthful moisture, suppleness, and smoothness. Thanks to the loss of essential ceramide molecules, skin ceramides makeup 50% of the lipids in the extracellular "cement" that binds together protective cells in the outermost skin layer, the stratum corneum, 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(lactobacillus fermentation) has no parabens and is not formaldehyde-releasing. Cupuacu Butter is considered a “super-moisturizer” because of its hydrophilic (water-loving) properties. Cupuacu Butter restores elasticity to the skin while providing anti-oxidants and hydration
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 love this lip balm! I have super dry lips from previously using Accutane twice, as well as having an autoimmune condition that leads to dry skin. My skin and lips are sensitive, and I have had no issues with this lip balm. It is nourishing and has not caused any breakouts. It has become a staple that I always want to have with me. I keep some in my nightstand, my purse, my office, and my table downstairs. It is THAT good! I look forward to ordering more when it is back in stock.
Hi Kim 😊
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We are so ❤️happy to hear that our lip balm has been gentle, nourishing, and a true staple for you. It means a lot to know it has been helpful for your sensitive skin and lips, especially given your history with dryness.
We look forward to having it back in stock for you soon.
Warmest wishes, and thank you for your continued support for GOW.

THE One!
My favorite lip balm of all time. This doesn’t just coat your lips. It treats them and then you can actually stop using it because it’s not addictive. Now that I’m over 60, my lips seem to get dry more often. I’m using it before bed every night or every other night to keep the dryness from getting worse.
Thank you Margie for the amazing review.
This Healing Lip Balm is one of our top sellers and for good reason ;-)
Everyone here loves it as well. I'm so glad you touched on the 'addictive' part of lip products!
Not many even realize this is happening.
Again, thank you and thank you for being such a long time customer.

AH-MAZING!!!!!!
I’m a lip balm junkie; I’ve tried them ALL. Recently I started my search for an all-natural, non-toxic lip balm. The two I bought elsewhere were causing my lips to flake. I was worried I was going to have to go back to the toxic, waxy balms, until I tried this.
This balm is mind-blowingly amazing!!!! My lips cleared up overnight. They are now soft, supple and flake free. This balm lasts after you apply it; my lips stay hydrated for hours and hours (even through eating and drinking). I’m quite simply BLOWN AWAY.
I will NEVER be without this again; it’s now a holy grail product for me.
Thank you for this beautiful balm, and please never stop making it!
What a beautiful review!! We love that this is helping you so much :) This is a staff fave as well :)

Very nourishing, great under matte lipstick
This feels very nourishing on the lips. It's also excellent under matte lipsticks that are otherwise hard to apply and feel/look dry. The only cons are that it doesn't smell or taste of chocolate and that it doesn't stay put all night. Its smells and tastes like the raw ingredients and you have to reapply it every couple of hours. I haven't tried a lip balm in a stick that stays put all night yet anyway. IM happy with it! The ingredients are lovely.

Updated Review
I’ve left a review before about how much I love this stuff, but I just wanted to update to say I love the new formula even more. It has been a blessing for my dry lips and has really made a difference in how often I deal with chapping and peeling. I have them in multiple places throughout my house, so I always have one nearby. :)
Waited until I used the whole bottle to review... My rosacea has improved so much using this emulsion!!! I'm in love with the fact that it's a moisturizer with no oils or butters, for I have very dry but easily clogged skin. The oat smell was not a problem for me and became comforting in a strange way LOL! Thank you for making such great products!! <3
Decadent Oat Enriched Emulsion (No Essential Oils)

The BEST Azelaic Acid Product I've Tried
I've been using azelaic acid for a couple of years for my pustular rosacea. It is the one thing that helps my skin stay clear the most. I've tried so many different brands, and most contain ingredients that clog my pores or my skin can't tolerate (like silicones, glycols, and other acids). This product has been AMAZING--it smooths my skin and bumps, it isn't harsh, and gives me a nice glow without being oily or sticky. Also I've noticed azelaic acid works better for me than other derivatives. The slightly grainy texture of this product doesn't bother me and doesn't linger on my skin. Please don't stop making this version!!!

So far I have used this HA serum only four days in a row.
So far I have used this HA serum only four days in a row, and overall I like it. I'll have to use it for much longer to determine just how effective it is. I do, however, really like the rooster derived HA serum, which I have purchased from GOW before, because I know it's the real thing, so to speak, and I don't mind that it's animal sourced, because I'm not a vegetarian, and fowl is being consumed in huge quantities by non vegetarians in any case, i.e., they're not on the endangered species list. :)

Beta glucans for the win! This really did wonders for my dry skin. I feel like it does more than HA alone. I have combination skin and eczema and I did not experience any issues regarding acne or irritation.

TXA - the wonder drug
I just started using the TXA+Z Radiance Serum so it’s a little too soon to tell if it will help with my dark patches but I think it’s starting to help. As a surgical RN, I am very familiar with TXA (given IV) and find it an amazing and very useful drug in the OR so I have no doubt it will be beneficial on my skin.
Most effective clean aluminum-free plant-based deodorant
I've been using clean plant-based deodorant for a decade, and this seems to do the best job of controlling odors that develop because of hormones, stress, and exercise. When I saw the size of the bottle, I checked to make sure I hadn't ordered the trial size; however, this tiny bottle delivers a lot in a small dot applied to each armpit and will likely last several weeks.

Hi Grace °❀.ೃ࿔* This made us smile with gratitude. Thank you for taking the time to finish the bottle and then come back to share your experience. That really helps customers understand the product's long-term impact.
This emulsion was created specifically for skin like yours. Very dry, easily congested, and often reactive. We wanted something deeply comforting without relying on oils or butters that can feel too heavy or pore-clogging for some (not all)
skin types, especially rosacea-prone skin.
We love that you mentioned the oat (we think you meant the glutathione) aroma becoming comforting. Although overwhelming at first, this ingredient is incredibly healing and soothing.
Thank you for trusting us with your skin and for such a thoughtful, generous review.
We’re so glad this formula was what your skin desired. ͙֒

Nicole ❤️ and WOW WOW WOW, thank you so much!
Azelaic acid can be a lifeline for some skin types, and we’re very intentional about keeping this formula simple, focused, and free from common troublemakers that can overwhelm sensitive or reactive skin. We’re especially glad to hear that this version works well for you without feeling harsh, sticky, or pore-clogging. 😲
Your note about preferring azelaic acid itself, rather than derivatives, is exactly why this product exists in its current form. The texture is a deliberate trade-off to keep the formula gentle and effective, and it’s reassuring to know it hasn’t affected our experience.
We appreciate your being a part of the GoW family.
Refreshing and calming. So many skin benefits but even if there wasn’t any benefits I’d use it for the smell alone!
Thank you, Sheryl,
We all agree here that Neroli in any form is such a delightful experience for the nose and the soul.
We appreciate your being a part of our GoW family.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience, especially so early on. We truly appreciate how thoughtfully you approach ingredients and sourcing.
Our Clearly Pure Hyaluronic Acid is intentionally simple and clean, designed to let the ingredient speak for itself over time. You’re absolutely right that hyaluronic acid benefits are best judged with continued use.
We also appreciate your openness in mentioning our rooster-derived hyaluronic acid. Transparency matters to us, and we respect that different customers make different choices based on their values and needs.
