At Garden of Wisdom, we offer ingredients with the understanding that you are choosing them thoughtfully and with care.

We believe in transparency, education, and giving you access to high-quality ingredients without unnecessary barriers.

At the same time, many of the materials we offer are intended for those who are comfortable researching and working with skincare ingredients.

We gently encourage you to take the time to understand each ingredient you purchase so you feel confident using it.

What We Provide

For each ingredient, we do our best to include the most helpful information we can on the product page.

  • INCI and full ingredient listings
  • Suggested usage ranges, when available
  • Solubility information
  • Shelf life guidance
  • Relevant safety considerations

A Note On Formulation

Some ingredients do not have one fixed or universal percentage of use. In those cases, the appropriate amount depends on your formulation goals, experience level, and the other ingredients in your project.

We always encourage small test batches, careful research, and thoughtful experimentation when working with new materials.

Documentation

As a small, family-run company focused on keeping ingredients accessible and affordable, we do not routinely provide documentation such as:

  • SDS / MSDS
  • COA
  • Technical Sheets
  • GC/MS Reports

If you require documentation for a specific cosmetic raw material, please email us before placing your order so we can confirm whether it is available.

If documentation is requested after purchase, a processing fee may apply.

Responsibility And Use

Our ingredients are sold with the understanding that you will research how to use them properly and safely.

Because we cannot control how ingredients are used once they leave our hands, we ask that you take responsibility for:

Proper research
Safe handling
Appropriate formulation practices

We cannot be held liable for misuse of the ingredients we supply.

For additional details, please review our Liability Disclaimer.

Important Ingredient Notes

Essential Oils
Please thoroughly research essential oils before using them. They are not intended for internal use or neat, direct application. Serious sensitization can occur, and it may not be reversible. Email us if you need references.

Carrier Oils
Many carrier oils can be used at 100%, although some are rich and may be more comfortable when diluted. Testing, researching, and experiencing them for yourself can be very helpful.

Please do not leave rubber droppers in oils long-term. Over time, the oil may begin to break down the rubber. As stock rotates through, we are transitioning many of our glass bottles to caps instead of droppers.

Questions?

If you need documentation, formulation resources, or essential oil references, please email us at customerservice@gardenofwisdom.com.

We may not always have every answer immediately, but we will always do our best to guide you honestly and thoughtfully.

A Final Note

Thank you for supporting our small, family-run company.

We truly appreciate your care, your curiosity, and the trust you place in us.

With care,
Markey, Jen & the GoW Family
