Garden of Wisdom's Black Raspberry Seed Oil (this oil smells amazing)is a lightweight, fast-absorbing oil with many skin benefits. Rich in antioxidants, it is a powerful defense against free radicals, helping protect the skin from environmental stressors that contribute to premature aging.

In addition to its antioxidant benefits, Black Raspberry Seed Oil is abundant in essential fatty acids, including omega-3 and omega-6, which help to nourish and maintain a healthy skin barrier. These fatty acids support hydration, improve skin elasticity, and contribute to a smooth, supple complexion. With its lightweight texture and rapid absorption, Black Raspberry Seed Oil is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin. Its natural composition makes it an excellent addition to skincare formulations aimed at anti-aging, hydration, and overall skin health.

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 am loving this black raspberry seed oil. I put it on at night, leaving it on all night, and the next morning my skin is so hydrated and plump. I absolutely love it. Thanks GOW for allowing us to order samples. It really helps.
Appreciate this very lovely review!

Another one of my favorite seed oils
I love this oil. I usually add it to my moisturizer in the morning and it makes my skin feel really hydrated.
Skin is like smooth glass... non-invasive... simple and easy.... affordable... great stuff
What can I say? Garden of Wisdom's products are always lovely. This is one of the light, exfoliating products that gives an immediate glow with a finish like smooth glass, without any over-drying (or even any drying) effects).
Even my dentist and hygienist complimented my skin a few weeks ago.
I've been a GoW customer since my late 20s and I'm now 57. My skincare needs have, obviously, changed. However, as my skincare (and haircare) needs change, GoW always gives me what i need, based on what my skin needs.
I cannot do without Markey and Garden of Wisdom. No one will give you the personalized and individualized treatment services, clean products, clean raw ingredients, and custom formulations... Especially at a very affordable cost and fast shipping.

Love the progeline peptide repair serum
I love this serum! I’ve tried many things over the years but this takes the cake!
I am falling in love with the texture of GOW products. This is lightweight and GENTLE formula for mild acne and redness, I am still in the works of finalizing my routine but this is HERE to STAY! Honestly it's impossible to even find a similar product with this good of formulation without the excess ingrinets that can be sneaky and cause problems.

Great Overnight Jumpstart To Hairgrowth
I enjoy using this as an overnight scalp jumpstart to hair growth. It smells lovely and even though a little more heavy than other follicle stimulators, as it is intended to be rinsed out after overnight, it contains high end ingredients of competitor brands plus even better ingredients not found on the market. My scalp feels rejuvinated each use :)

Best anti-aging product aside from retinol
Aside from sunscreen and retinol, this is the best anti-aging product you can use as white tea is an extremely potent inhibitor of most collagenase and elastase types. I LOVE the consistency of this serum and how it dries on the skin - not sticky or shiny at all. It was impossible to find a good product with a good percentage of white tea at a reasonable price elsewhere....will definitely repurchase! Please keep making this product GOW!

Jordan,
Thank you so much for the kind words! We're so glad you're loving the White Peony Tea Hyaluronic Acid Serum, especially its silky texture and how it absorbs beautifully. White Peony Tea truly is a powerhouse for supporting collagen and elastin, and we’re proud to offer it at a fair price. We’ll definitely keep offering this product! This makes me wonder how consuming the tea might positively affect our bodies as well. Hmmmm

I have had dark under-eye circles (i.e. dark purple color) ever since I was a young child. Even with addressing underlying issues with my iron levels, I still had dark circles. Now, being on my 2nd bottle of this serum (first purchase being of the smallest bottle), the dark circles have cleared completely about ⅔ of the way underneath my eye. Purchased the large bottle this time and am looking forward to getting rid of the remaining darkness where the eye meets the bridge of the nose!
Frankie,
Thank you! Your review makes us giddy with joy as we all know and understand the frustrations with dark under eye circles.
Its wonderful to hear you are having success. So many aren't able to see this kind of result but your willingness to hang in there and
give it the best possible outcome is amazing.
Hopefully, others with this same concern will read your review.
I purchased this product approximately 2 years ago for the first time and it is the only oil cleanser I will ever use. It has properly cleaned my face from any and all face products, and in experimenting to see if just using it as my only cleanser (no double cleansing) would help reduce my frequent acne breakouts, it has!
This is awesome! Double cleansing has always given us a level of concern so to hear your thoughts really help to solidify
our thoughts. Keep us updated with your progress!
Wish you the best, Frankie
I don't consider myself to have ultra-sensitive skin, but wanted a morning wash that was as close to water as possible. This works wonderfully for me to achieve that; my skin definitely feels clean but not overly dry. This is my first step in the morning and at night when/if I double cleanse.
Hi Elizabeth
Thank you so much for sharing this! We’re thrilled to hear that our cleanser gives you that “as close to water as possible” feel while still leaving your skin clean and balanced. It’s perfect as a gentle start to the day.
Your GOW Team wishing you the best in your skincare journey
