NOTE: This is only available in the .5 oz size, as the Goji Berry Stem Cells will take longer to show results (unlike the Rose Stem Cells), so a sample size would be a waste of your hard-earned money.
Garden of Wisdom IS Unlocking the Power of Goji Berry Stem Cells in Skincare
Goji berries have long been revered as a superfood, rich in antioxidants and nutrients that promote wellness from within. But recent advancements in cosmetic science have taken this ancient fruit into a new realm, harnessing goji berry stem cells for powerful topical benefits.
What Are Goji Berry Stem Cells?
Unlike whole goji berries or their extracts, goji berry stem cells are derived from the meristematic tissue of the plant, the “stem cells” responsible for regeneration and growth. These plant stem cells are cultivated in controlled conditions, allowing for high concen-trations of active compounds without overharvesting the plant itself. The result is a potent, eco-conscious ingredient that supports skin vitality.
Skin Benefits of Goji Berry Stem Cells
Goji berry stem cells are rich in polysaccharides, amino acids, flavonoids, and trace minerals, all of which contribute to skin rejuvenation. But what sets them apart is their ability to defend against oxidative stress and environmental damage, two major contributors to premature aging.
Here are the top benefits when used topically:
1. Goji stem cells are rich in molecules that neutralize free radicals, helping to protect skin cells from damage caused by pollution, UV rays, and exposure to blue light. 2. By helping to stimulate collagen production and supporting the skin’s extracellular matrix, goji berry stem cells may help improve firmness and reduce the appearance of fine lines. 3. The natural polysaccharides and amino acids provide calming effects, making this ingredient suitable for sensitive, stressed, or compromised skin. 4. Consistent use may lead to a brighter, more even complexion, resulting from improved skin cell turnover and reduced oxidative stress.
Why Choose Stem Cells Over Traditional Extracts?
While goji berry extracts provide excellent nutritional support, stem cells deliver a more concentrated and targeted effect. Cultivated in laboratories using biotechnology, plant stem cells are standardized for efficacy, allowing formulators to work with consistent active levels, a feat difficult to achieve with raw extracts alone.
How They’re Used in Skincare Products:
Goji berry stem cells are typically incorporated into serums, creams, and masks, often in conjunction with other antioxidant-rich or barrier-repairing ingredients. They work particularly well in formulas focused on anti-aging, brightening, and environmental defense. When paired with niacinamide, panthenol, or hyaluronic acid, goji stem cells can provide both immediate hydration and long-term rejuvenation.
Our Final Thoughts … Goji berry stem cells represent the intersection of traditional wisdom and modern innovation, delivering potent, plant-based support to keep skin looking vibrant, resilient, and youthful. Whether you’re formulating or shopping for high-performance skincare, this ingredient is worth incorporating into your routine.
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.
Distilled Water - hydrating
Zemea (Propaneidol) Organic, non-GMO, corn-based glycol - safer option than propylene and/or butylene glycols
Leucidal SF(Lactobacillus Ferment) - natural, ECOCert & Whole Foods–approved

Hi Margie
Thank you for your acknowledgement of this product. We look forward to hearing
about your success. Thank you for understanding this does take some time to show results.
Your Garden of Wisdom Team
I have never been able to use vitamin C of any kind on my face. Not sure what the difference is here but this one works great and doesn't bother me at all! I think it's helping even out my skin tone but I've only been using it maybe a month so far and in my experience you have to give things at least three months to really see results. But so far so good!

Seeing Results!
I got the 10 ml. size to sample the product and see if it does what it claims. My skin seems to like products with niacinamide in them so I thought it couldn't hurt to try TXA+Z. I'm happy to say that I'm beginning to see results regarding fading of stubborn after-blemish hyperpigmentation on my face and, while I use other products for this purpose as well, I think the TXA+Z is doing most of the heavy lifting at this point. I like the feel of this serum and have been using it in the morning. I'm back to get the 1 oz. size before I run out.
This product is amazing. My skin looks and feels better after only a couple of weeks. I am pleased. Thank you Mother Earth for the gifts Garden of Wisdom uses from you. Thank you Garden of Wisdom for using these gifts for our benefit. Blessings to all of you

I need this!
As I’ve hit my 60s, the bags under my eyes are really getting bad. So so happy to have this incredible serum to help. I’m definitely noticing a difference.
Cellular Eye Complex - Age Defying Hydration for Delicate Skin
This is another favorite! Didn't think product was doing much until my husband mentioned that my face looked smoother and more even. He also has started using it now and has gotten many compliments. Doesn't burn or sting like ascorbic acid. I use 3-4 times a week at night only and love that it contains squalane because it gives me a little extra moisture.
Teresa and (hubby)

Have a wonderful day!
Upon doing the cottonball test this item did not clean my face properly for me . I only use jojoba oil and concealer in a few places. I do believe it has quality ingredients, I have mixed it w the Skin Friendly Cucumber cleanser as to make that cleanser more gentle for MY high maintenance skin.
Hi Julie
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our Soothing Cleansing Gel. We apologize that the product did not meet your expectations and we understand that finding the right cleanser for your skin can be a challenge.
We appreciate your feedback and would like to suggest trying our Skin Friendly Cucumber cleanser, which you have already mixed with our Soothing Cleansing Gel. It may be a better fit for your high maintenance skin. We also recommend using a gentle exfoliator occasionally to
help ensure a deep clean.
We strive to provide quality products and we hope to have the opportunity to better serve you in the future.
Again, thank you for your honesty as well,
Markey
Even before I moved to natural products, I had difficulty with deodorants. I sweat a good bit. I would rotate between a couple of deodorants as that seemed to help ensure they kept working. I do like the natural deodorant sticks with baking soda. I also like the way it feels as a barrier on my skin. However, before or by the end of the work day, they stopped doing their job. So, I decided to use the unscented version of this GOW along with the stick deodorant. Put this on first, let it dry and then apply the stick. This has made such a difference!!!! It really keeps odors in check! I’m sensitive to scents, but citrus is usually not a problem, so I’ll try that next time.n
Hi Valerie
It's wonderful to hear that our Deodorant Spray has been working well for you! It's great to know that you've found a solution to help with your sweating and that our product has made a difference for you. Thank you for sharing your experience with us and for your support.
We hope you continue to enjoy our product!

Still to early in seeing if it is working . After one month and one bottle I can't see any visible signs of change in skin tone .
Hi Elton
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We understand that it may take some time for our products to show visible results, especially when dealing with stubborn pigmentation. We recommend continuing use for a few more weeks to allow the ingredients to fully penetrate the skin and work their magic. If you have any further concerns or questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We're always here to help!
Our Best, Markey
Gives my skin radiance while leaving a satin finish.
This rice bran oil is light and silky. No odor. It absorbs and leaves only a satin finish behind. I don’t need foundation over it! I have oily yet dehydrated skin, and rice bran oil is ideal for my skin type. It decreases oil production while leaving radiant, moisturized skin. Perfect for humid summer use, and use over moistened hyaluronic acid serum. Have used this for 6 years and my family has noticed measurable changes in my skin’s clarity and texture. (The BHA tonic and customized hyaluronic acid serum also have played a role.)
Being reactive to virtually everything, I am grateful for Garden of Wisdom’s pure products.
Having MCAS, this is my only source of “safe” skincare. Markey ensures no cross contamination in any product, and no reactants with her custom-made products. GOW carefully formulates customized products for those in need, like me! MCAS/MCS friendly!
Exceptional quality. Exemplary customer service. A happy customer since 2008.
