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.

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. :)
I love the other GOW hydrating mists but has not tried this one yet. My skin is on the struggle bus this Fall. Due to weather plus perimenopause I felt like I couldn’t get enough hydration no matter what! Purchased the 1oz size of this mist to try and it’s a game changer!! I just ordered the 4oz size during a sale. Never want to be without this during Fall and Winter.
Hi Michelle
Thank you for sharing your positive experience with our Deep Hydrating Mist! Your enthusiasm is so cool and we really appreciate it! One of our customers in the UK gave us the idea so all the credit truly goes to her. We're so happy to hear that it's been a game changer for your winter skin struggles.
We hope it continues to provide the hydration you need during this season.
Thank you for your continued support and we're glad you took advantage of our sale to stock up on the larger size.
Have a great day and a beautiful weekend.
I've never not loved Garden of Wisdom products 100%, and this is no exception... I alternate the C3 Elixir with other GoW products (the C3 does great on off-days that I don't use peptides), and it's been a great addition to my skin's arsenal. Some products can be drying or irritating to my skin but this isn't, at all!
I have to say... Markey and the entire team at Garden of Wisdom is a blessing. They do what they do out of a passion for helping people, and crafting high-quality, clean and safe products, at an affordable price - along with the utmost customer service (and I love the little hand-written notes I get with each order :)
Thank you, Markey, Leah, Jen, and the rest of your awesome team. xo

I really like the smell, and I trust that the essential oils are doing their job in treating my face to luxury.

I'm personally not a fan of geranium or rose (scent not the results which are quite amazing) but when clended with the Carrot Seed Hydrosol, well, the hydration and moisture for my old, elderly, somewhat challenging skin has always been a go to for me.
NOTE: There are no essential oils added to our hydrosols. However, because hydrosols are produced through steam distillation of herbs and flowers, they naturally contain trace amounts of the plant’s volatile aromatic compounds. These are not added essential oils, just the minute, inherent constituents that occur naturally during distillation.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
This Hair Oil is very nourishing and lightweight. I use it as a finishing touch to add shine and condition. Thank you!
Erika, thank you SO much I adore this product but not enough people have given it a go.
Hopefully, your review will help those searching for an affordable and delightful hair oil to land here.
We are grateful for your long history with us.

I have developed rosacea in the last couple of years and I’ve struggled to find any products that truly helped heal my skin. My skin was dry, irritated, and felt like sandpaper. It seemed like nothing would absorb or make my skin feel hydrated. I’ve seen a dermatologist and have been prescribed multiple creams that have made my skin feel worse and I could never stick with them. I’ve used GoW products on and off for years but finally got fed up with the prescription route and decided to find a natural routine and stick with it. I’ve been using this serum twice a day with an oil blend as moisturizer and also incorporated a hypochlorous acid spray. The rosacea serum has been the thing that has saved my skin. In less than 2 weeks, my skin is no longer red and no longer feels like sandpaper. It’s plump and hydrated. Before, on close inspection, it looked like every pore on my face was clogged and had a layer of red, dry skin. That is nearly gone. This serum is incredible.

There's something about coconut vinegar that just hits right...
I LOVE to close my eyes and spray all of the Coco tonics on my face after washing it. It smells amazing and makes it so less is more as you move forward with serums and creams. It's like self-care in a spritzer.

The scent to rival all scent-sations!
It is the most DIVINE of all the serums I've tried at GoW, not only due to it's efficacy, but the scent takes you straight into a rose garden on a mild spring day. Lovely feeling on my skin and to my senses.
