Garden of Wisdom's Calm and Hydrate Mist is a refreshing botanical infusion crafted to comfort and replenish sensitive or stressed skin. This customer favorite combines the gentle power of Chickweed, Comfrey, Cleavers, and Wild Cherry Bark Hydrosols, each known for their calming, soothing, and hydrating properties. Enriched with Allantoin to ease irritation and promote healthy skin renewal, and Oat Beta Glucans to deeply hydrate, reduce redness, and visibly smooth the appearance of fine lines, this multi-tasking mist delivers instant relief and lasting nourishment.
Use it as a toner, a calming skin prep before serums, or as a hydrating liquid in masks. Mist throughout the day whenever your skin needs a refreshing reset. Gentle, versatile, and highly effective, no wonder it’s one of our bestsellers.
Method of Application Apply throughout the day as needed and during the hydration stages of your routine before any hydrating gels. May also be used in place of a toner
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.

Happy Misting for Some but, Alas, not All!
In presently having a po-ed skin barrier, I've tried using this three times now and it seemed to make my skin further po-ed (maybe it is the Optiphen used in the GoW hydrosols left to sit on my skin? Because I can't reckon what else it could be...It didn't occur to me there might be Optiphen/phenoxyethanol in this product till after purchase and use so that's on me. That said, GoW offers Optiphen-free hydrosols in bulk so perhaps they use only those to add to their products.).
Anyway, I appreciate the concept of this product and the ingredients. Comfrey has long been one of my favorite herbs for use on the skin as has chickweed so I make frequent use of them (even more so now that my skin is 'sick'). I'm glad others are benefiting from this mist where I cannot.
We're so sad this didn't end up working for you. We realize from you working with Jen that your skin is very sensitive, and we appreciate you trying it, and your honest review!

My All Time Favorite!
Even though its gentle it offers a powerful punch to help calm and reduce redness all while bringing hydration to the skin. I spray this after cleansing and if more is needed I will even spritz some on a cotton round and apply to my skin that way. It is the first thing I do in the morning (I don't wash in the am) and it helps my makeup apply better. Bonus that there is not much of a scent for us sensitive gals!!
Hi, Diane :-)
Your comment made our hearts smile. I absolutely love this product!
As you mentioned, it's not only a wonderful hydrator but the smell is minimal and comes
from a natural source. No icky fragrances.
Have a beautiful weekend when it comes around.

The missing link in any skin regimen
This spray is INCREDIBLE! I like that it's convenient to use AM/PM and throughout the day. The spray bottle never sticks or gives me any issue either. I've used a few rosewater sprays and regular water sprays so I could see if this really made a difference. It definitely reduces my redness, especially after using exfoliants, and calms my skin.
I prefer it to anything else I've used including glycerin (which is a queen moisturizing ingredient). Glycerin made my face too oily in humid FL. This, however, did not and left me neither oily or dry by end of day after AM application.
I like that it has a neutral smell and plays well with other ingredients. I use this prior to the hyaluronic serum. It makes my skin incredibly smooth and far less irritated. I highly recommend that combo for any skin type!
So glad you are loving this! Thank you :)

Vital for healing inflammation!
I had a severe allergic reaction to a sunscreen a while back, and after eliminating all actives until that was resolved, I decided to try Calm and Hydrate Mist. In addition to wanting to address the residual redness and swelling, I also noticed that my areas of hyperpigmentation had become much more prominent and recalled that inflammation is a common trigger. I was amazed at how effective this was at eliminating the overall inflammation and greatly reducing my hyperpigmentation, and my skin looks better than it has for years. I also use this on my lichen sclerosus (lady parts, y'all!) which is miraculously healing. I also use Oat Enriched Facial Serum and Calming Moisture Serum in conjunction with the Calm and Hydrate Mist and this routine is perfection for me.
Thank you, GoW!
I love this ReNew Cream!

This is a great product
This is a great product. My hair is 3 feet long and was recently destroyed when negligent doctors soaked my hair in saline solution for 4 long hours during my surgery which caused all my hair to break off. I'm devastated. I've been using this product because the ingredients are so good particularly the pea sprout peptide. I believe it's helping with the damage my hair sustainedy

Gratitude to Garden of Wisdom!
The dedicated team at GOW have collaborated with me to develop a skin care routine that works to include a custom blended facial cleanser and moisture products for mature skin. I use the Rosacea Serum along with the Renew and Defend Elixir and Rose Stem Cell Peptide daily. I no longer use prescription creams to manage my rosacea! Their responsiveness to my many questions and attentive care to orders proves the integrity of this small family run business. These people put their heart into sourcing natural ingredients and creating formulas that are gentle and effective. I feel great about supporting this business !

The Garden of Wisdom AHA + Kojic Acid Serum has been a true staple in my skincare routine
The Garden of Wisdom AHA + Kojic Acid Serum has been a true staple in my skincare routine. I only realized how effective it was when I couldn’t find it for a while—during that time, my skin really struggled. I even tried another serum with a similar formula, but it just didn’t deliver the same results. Now that I’ve found this serum again, I’m beyond happy! My skin is already showing great improvement. It keeps my acne under control and tackles my stubborn post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) better than anything else I’ve tried. This product is definitely a keeper!

Wonderful product
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.
