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.
Amaranth Seed Oil (Amaranthus spinosus) - antiaging, restorative, boosts the skin's immunity, calming, and leaves a gentle, protective layer but sinks in beautifully Prickly Pear Seed Oil (Opuntia ficus-indica) - antibacterial (inhibits bacteria growth), does not clog pores, soaks in effortlessly, excellent oil (our favorite oil), hydrates, nourishes, protects, and rejuvenates the skin Fenugreek Oil (Trigonella foenum-graecum) - can treat skin disorders like acne, eczema, psoriasis, etc. high in natural antioxidants which, of course, deters oxidation naturally high in Vitamin K, which is used to treat stretch marks Hibiscus Seed Oil (Hibiscus sabdariffa) - moisturizing, anti-aging, skin softener, healing, used as a massage oil, reputed to help hair grow, high in Vitamin E, regenerative Bakuchiol (Sytenol® A):
• A highly effective, natural, plant-based alternative to retinol
• Enhances cell turnover to reveal softer, smoother skin
• Suitable for sensitive skin
• Enhances the production of collagen to combat the signs of aging
• Calms inflammation and provides antioxidant protection
• Unlike retinol, Super Bakuchiol does not cause sun sensitivity Frankincense Co2 Extract (Boswellia carterii) - encourages the rejuvenation of aging skin, soothing, repairing, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, astringent, expectorant, tonic, sedative. Hops Co2 Extract (Humulus lupulus L.) - is used in skin care for their calming, healing, nutrient dense and anti-bacterial properties. CoQ10 (ubiquinone) - is critical to the production of energy in every cell of the body. It aids in circulation, stimulates the immune system, increases tissue oxygenation, and has vital anti-aging effects. Coenzyme Q10 has exceptional antioxidant properties. Studies show that it can effectively counteract free radical damage and provide significant protection against UVA-induced depletion of cell membrane. In other words, it will prevent damage to the collagen and elastin production process and help you avoid wrinkles

I started using this about 3 months ago and it is a game changer. I have had three people ask me what I am using. Everyone says I am glowing! It’s the only thing I have changed in my routine. Highly recommend it for women over 50.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this. Hearing that the Bakuchiol Botanic Facial Oil Booster has been a game changer for your skin and that you’re seeing that kind of glow means more than I can say.
Creating products that truly support skin as it changes over time is deeply personal to me. As someone who is almost 70, I understand firsthand how important it is to feel comfortable, confident, and at home in your skin.
Thank you for trusting us and for sharing your experience with others.
With gratitude,

Love it for my neck. Will try on my face at some point. I have Rosacea so I have to be careful with my face. Love Bakuchiol for the body too.
Hi Cynthia 😊
Thank you for taking the time give us a review.
It's so exciting to know the Bakuchiol p;roducts work so well with your sensitive, Rosacea skin profile.
Have a wonderful week.

This product make my skin glow! I’m sensitive
This product make my skin glow! I’m sensitive, 63yrs. old and needed something gentle to help with renewal and mild discoloration. I love it and this is my second bottle. Just one pump morning and evening with my moisturizer. Under makeup is a wonderful primer. The more I use it, I’m finding the less foundation I need to use! Thank you for a wonderful product.
Absolutely glowing, just like your skin, Helen! ❤️ We’re so thrilled to hear that our Bakuchiol Botanic Facial Oil Booster is working its gentle magic for you. It’s especially heartwarming to know it’s helping with renewal and discoloration without irritating your sensitive skin.
That radiant, foundation-free confidence? That’s what we love to hear.
Thank you for trusting us with your skincare, your support (and second bottle!) is very important to us!

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
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. ͙֒
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!!!
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.

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. :)

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.

Our goal is always to offer high-quality options clearly labeled so you can choose the option that best aligns with you.
Thank you! for your trust and for being part of the Garden of Wisdom community.

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.
