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.
Shipping Transit Note: Some customers have asked whether products can be affected by time in transit, especially during warmer months. Our products are formulated and preserved to remain stable during normal shipping times and should not spoil simply from being in transit.
That said, if you are concerned about heat exposure, you are welcome to add an ice pack to your order for extra peace of mind. Click here to add an ice pack.
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

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.

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.

Love this new formula with the frankincense so much that I had to get the larger size! I've been using hyaluronic acid plus squalane oil as a moisturizer because I couldn't find a moisturizer that didn't irritate my face or make it drier. I like that this balm has a few simple amazing ingredients with no added fragrance or preservatives. It doesn't irritate my skin or flare up my rosacea. This is the only moisturizer that has actually provided hydration for my skin. I use a small dab at night so the product lasts for many months and leaves my skin with a healthy glow.
This is still my favourite cleanser after many many bottles! It never fails. So gentle it Doesn’t leave my skin dry yet still is cleansing and refreshing - my go to!

Thanakha Blemish Clearing Tonic

Such a lovely oil!
Such a lovely oil!
It glides on so smoothly, feels like a substantial oil without leaving me greasy, and I love that it has a mild color so I can put it on directly. I live in the Southwest so it’s so fun to use the oil from a plant that I see around me all the time! Thank you Garden of Wisdom for being the oasis in the desert and delivering such wonderful products!
Prickly Pear Seed Oil - The Secret to Timeless Radiance
Karissa Michitsch
the product that gave me my skin back!
if i could give this serum more than five stars, i would.
i developed rosacea out of nowhere after never really having skin issues before. suddenly my skin was red, bumpy, dry, dehydrated and unbelievably reactive. i tried so many products that were marketed as natural, sensitive-skin friendly or rosacea-safe, and NOTHING worked. every new product seemed to give me a brand-new version of a reaction.
then i had a consultation with jennifer. garden of wisdom offers consultations for new customers, and i cannot recommend doing one enough. jennifer was incredible. she helped me put together a very simple routine using this serum, their soap free cleanser, aloe as a toner and evening primrose oil. she also talked to me about supporting my skin internally, which i really appreciated. it felt like she was looking at the bigger picture instead of just trying to sell me another topical product.
more than that, she was kind, supportive and genuinely gave me hope during a time when i was feeling incredibly discouraged about my skin.
and boy did she deliver.
i used the cleanser and oat enriched facial serum and woke up the NEXT MORNING with skin that felt smooth, calm and unreactive. i genuinely could not believe it.
and it wasn't a fluke. over time, everything improved - the redness, the little bumps and texture, the dryness, the hydration, the flushing, the way my skin responded to heat, and even how quickly it recovered when something did make it reactive. my skin didn't just look better. it started to feel healthier, stronger and more resilient.
the serum itself feels like a pretty normal serum on the skin. i will warn you that it has an interesting smell, but you get over that very quickly once you realize how magical the stuff inside the bottle is. most importantly, it has never - literally NEVER - irritated my skin. no burning, stinging, redness, bumps or mystery reaction of the week.
i've now been using it for almost three months, and the difference in my skin is enormous. instead of constantly reacting to something new, my skin just kept getting healthier.
the craziest part is that at this point, i pretty much forget that i even have rosacea. when i think back to how reactive, uncomfortable and unpredictable my skin felt just a few months ago, i can't believe i'm saying that.
after months of feeling like my own face had suddenly become something i couldn't understand or control, garden of wisdom gave me my skin back.
i never want to be without this serum. ever.
Oat Enriched Facial Serum
Karissa Michitsch
simple, gentle, and somehow life-changing!
i developed rosacea seemingly out of nowhere after having basically no skin issues my entire life. suddenly i had redness, bumps and texture, dryness, a completely compromised skin barrier, and it felt like EVERYTHING i put on my face caused some new version of a reaction. i had already used natural/holistic skincare for years, and even products marketed as "sensitive" or "rosacea-safe" were not working for me.
then i found garden of wisdom.
this cleanser is definitely a different experience from a traditional face wash (read the directions!) but i got used to that almost immediately. and honestly, i would wash my face standing on my head at this point if that's what it took to keep my skin this happy.
my skin has never once reacted to it. it feels completely calm, clean and refreshed afterward, but NEVER stripped or tight, which was especially impressive considering what a disaster my skin barrier was when i started using it.
i began using this cleanser at the same time as the oat enriched facial serum, so i can't honestly tell you which product deserves more credit. what i can say is that my skin changed almost literally overnight. i woke up with smoother, calmer, more hydrated skin, and over the weeks that followed my redness, texture, hydration and overall skin health continued to improve. i kept waiting for the other shoe to drop because it genuinely felt too good to be true. it never did.
i've now been using this for almost three months, and the change is kind of unbelievable. at this point, i pretty much forget that i even have rosacea. considering how much my skin was affecting my day-to-day life when this first started, that feels enormous.
i truly believe that replacing everything that may have been irritating or inciting my skin with something this gentle played a huge role in allowing my skin to calm down and become so much more resilient.
if you wear makeup, i would pair it with garden of wisdom's micellar water, which i also love.
finding a cleanser that thoroughly cleans reactive, rosacea-prone skin without making it even remotely angry should not feel this miraculous, but after everything i tried before this, it absolutely does.

The best!
I got this product last week but finally used it last night. I woke up this morning so delighted that I had to rush to leave a review. This is from someone who barely leaves reviews. I’ve always been texture and hyperpigmentation prone as a person of color. I recently started using tretinoin but even the 0.025% makes my skin flaky and irritates my skin barrier all the time. So I started looking for a gentler retinol option but every product I found had ingredients that will either clog my pores or not work at all till I finally found GOW. I was immediately attracted to the simple ingredients list. I was a bit worried about my skin barrier so last night, I used a moisturizer as a buffer before applying the serum. I woke up to see a radiant skin with my pores looking visibly clearer. This product will forever be a staple in my routine! This and the clear,brighten and prevent serum! Please never discontinue this product.

This stuff is the bomb! It showed results the very next day. My blemish was much smaller on day 2 and gone on day 3. Used it am and pm. Just a very tiny dab.
