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.
Neroli Blossom Hydrosol provides a trifecta of benefits—anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and antioxidant properties—while its mild astringency helps tighten and refresh the skin. Seamollient is rich in trace minerals, forms a protective film on your skin, shielding it from environmental aggressors. MSM natural analgesic, penetration enhancer, dilates blood vessels to allow actives to penetrate, healing. a natural analgesic, enhances penetration by dilating blood vessels, allowing the active ingredients to reach deeper layers of your skin for optimal healing. Calendula Infusion vaso-motor stimulant to relieve capillary engorgement, rejuvenates the veins and associated vein valves providing normal blood transfer Arnica Extract anti-inflammatory, wound healing brings its anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties to the mix, helping to calm and repair damaged skin. Bearberry Extract works as a natural skin lightener with mild astringent qualities Organic Grape Alcohol penetration enhancer, solvent Silymarin improves micro-circulation in the skin which encourages new capillary formation, protects against toxins and pollutants Hesperidin helps to strengthen already healthy capillaries **Consider taking this internally ----->> Hesperidin Methyl Chalcone. Citrus bioflavonoids are often seen in products claiming to banish dark under-eye circles. There is research supporting its internal use as an aid to venous (vein) problems. One study documented that it lowers the filtration rate of capillaries, and less blood flowing though capillaries close to the surface of the skin potentially means that less hemoglobin would be oxygenated to cause the dark bluish discoloration under the eyes.
Allantoin soothing, healing EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor) used to accelerate wound healing, encourages normal cell growth Vitamin K1 helps to diminish broken capillaries by strengthening the capillary walls. The capillaries are microscopic in size and it has been said that when they are damaged they begin to leak the smallest amount of blood which causes the redness of the veins and the blueness (dark circles) under the eyes (because the skin is so thin there). Vitamin K is used to literally plug the small leaks and start the healing process

The Capillary Buster Serum is my go
to for calming my skin after my at home microneedling. It has just enough alcohol to keep things sterile and then the added secret of ogliopeptide-sh to help repair my barrier and stop wrinkles :) It’s a unique product that I kinda use off label
Hi Erika,
Your review absolutely made us smile. -`♡´-
We love hearing how thoughtfully you use our products and are honored that Capillary Buster Serum has become part of your post-microneedling routine. While we always formulate with specific goals in mind, it's fascinating to hear the creative ways our customers incorporate products into their own skincare journeys.
We especially appreciate your kind words about the formula and its unique combination of ingredients. Oligopeptide-SH has long been one of those ingredients we've quietly admired, so it always makes us happy when someone else notices it too.
Thank you for sharing your experience and for being part of the Garden of Wisdom family.
Customers like you are one of the reasons we still get excited about formulating after all these years.
Wishing you many more happy skin days ahead!
Your GoW Family 🙌

Helps Reduce My Undereye Dark Circles
The Capillary Buster Serum is definitely making a noticeable improvement in reducing the extreme dark circles I had under my eyes. I also notice it helps reduce the puffiness at the same time. This is an excellent product and I highly recommend it. I wish it came in larger sizes.
Hi Marybeth

Great product
I have rosacea and several chronic illnesses that cause facial flushing. I have tried lasers, red lights, and every cream and serum imaginable. This, in conjunction with red light therapy, is the first thing that has made a visible improvement in my broken capillaries.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us, Cristin.
We know how frustrating and discouraging persistent redness and visible capillaries can feel, especially when you’ve already tried so many different approaches. Hearing that you’re finally seeing improvement means more to us than we can say.
We’re especially glad you mentioned using it alongside red light therapy. It’s always helpful for others to see how products fit into a broader routine.
We’re truly grateful you gave our Capillary Buster Serum a place in your skincare journey and took the time to share your experience with us.

Good for emerging blemishes
I like this stuff! My blemishes are usually just tiny irritated white heads or bumps with nothing in them. If I put this on at night, things are much calmer in the morning. It even seems to have a minimizing effect on the few deep painful cystic guys I get, so they end up fading away rather than coming to the surface full of rage. And so far I haven't had any irritation (and I have very sensitive skin). I put this on after my last oil stage, after things have dried down a bit. I feel like that works best since I use it as a spot treatment, and putting it on under other stuff seems like it would just spread it around.

This is the best one!
This is the best one! My skin is sensitive to unusual things and the leucidal hyaluronic acid serums don't give me any issue. I prefer the honey to the regular because it helps my acne. I had to order the regular/pure HA serum last time and I definitely noticed breakouts lasting longer. Honey comb is the way to go!

Gentle non irritating niacinimide serum
Gentle, non irritating niacinimide serum. Another wonderful light and layerable product from GoW. I like how this serum plays well with my other products and it’s not sticky. This has been very helpful for my stepson’s oily teenage skin as well. Thank you!

It's really hard to find a fungal acne-safe body lotion! This lotion is light, and it's not instantly transformative, but over the past month or so I think it has helped the dry patches on my elbows and knees. I wish it was a tad richer, but I don't know if that's possible while also keeping it FA-safe. So I'll probably keep it in my routine!
Thank you for such a thoughtful and detailed review, Caroline! -`♡´- We’re glad you’re beginning to see improvement in those stubborn dry areas. We also truly appreciate your feedback about wanting a little more richness while keeping the formula fungal acne-friendly. That balance can be tricky, but your input is incredibly helpful to us!

Hi Laura ♡♡♡
This is so interesting and clever! We love hearing how our customers put their ingredients to work! Knowing the Cetyl Alcohol has been the answer for smoothing and softening your dry, flyaway hair is inspiring. Keep up with the great ideas. Since your mixture contains water, we recommend making only a tiny amount at a time and using it fresh.

Thank you so much! Our Bakuchiol Body Bliss Body Oil ... “Luxurious” is exactly how we want your skin to feel. We’re thrilled it has become such a favorite!
Markey 🌸🌸🌸
this seems like a very good product, but may be wrong for my skin type. i have rosacea and eczema, and mostly oily skin. i was hoping to find a product that would improve my heavily congested nose and chin without making all the red patches on my cheeks and eye area worse. i tried the product as both a toner and a facial spray, but found it slowly dried out my cheeks and made them redder. so now am am just applying only to my nose and cheeks, and it seems to be helping now, in conjunction with the oat serum. the product has the consistency of a typical toner, and it is scentless. it does not sting or burn when sprayed on, even in the eye area. it feels neither drying nor hydrating, and does not leave you looking greasy.
Hi Donna ♡
Thank you for sharing your experience with our Wild Black Cherry Bark Hydrosol. I'm glad to hear it's helping when used selectively.
We appreciate your detailed feedback and hope it continues to support your skin needs.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need further assistance!
Thought: you could add about 2-3% glycerin to amp up the hydration.
