Bringing the best of both worlds together with Ceramides and Liposomes to help hydrate and nourish your skin. Skin ceramides make up 50% of the lipids in the extracellular "cement" that binds together protective cells in the outermost skin layer, the stratum corneum. Loss of skin ceramides renders aging skin permeable to moisture, leaving skin dry, rough, and itchy. Ceramide loss is also a major contributor to wrinkles.
*Due to this product using our Ceramides which are created via plants and fermentation - it can continue to ferment which lends itself to a fermentation scent. This is a scented version of this serum to help with this :)
If you would like to order the unscented version of this as a custom, email us :)
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 into a separate,sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator. Carrier and Exotic Oils - generally, you can refrigerate all carrier oils, although some very rich oils will solidify. This is fine. All you have to do is take it 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. There are some oils with a super long shelf life, like Coconut Cream and Jojoba Oil.
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 (whole or ground) should be kept in a dark, cool and dry location. Herbal (liquid) Extracts - these are created using grain alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents (properties) from each herb - root, trunk, leaves, and flowers. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be stored in the refrigerator or a dark, dry place. Other Raw Ingredients - i.e., Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc. will all have a different shelf life.
Ceramide Complex with aging, skin loses its youthful moisture, suppleness, and smoothness, thanks to the loss of essential ceramide molecules. Skin ceramides make up 50% of the lipids in the extracellular "cement" that binds together protective cells in the outermost skin layer, the stratum corneum. Loss of skin ceramides renders aging skin permeable to moisture, leaving skin dry, rough, and itchy. Ceramide loss is also a major contributor to wrinkles.
I use this serum along with the Oat Enriched Facial Serum and I'm finding it to be a very effective and gentle moisturizer without causing any excess oil production or dryness. My skin feels very balanced.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review this :)

My new favorite serum
After seriously disrupting my skin barrier with a harsh retinol I had to switch to clean and gentle products (e.g. Edible Beauty Australia), then I found this company which uses effective actives without the bad ingredients (phenoxyethanol, ethylexglycerine., strong essential oils etc...) This new serum is fantastic: it is like you are in a desert and you finally can drink from an oasis, but for your skin, and without any irritation. Please never change the formula or add phenoxyethanol!!!
We're very glad you are loving this product :)
Just as a heads up, any of our other products you do see with phenoxyethanol (Optiphen) we are able to make as customs :) Just email us!

Seriously if you have any barrier disruption grab this for instance healing properties. Dermatologists are always pushing for ceramides in your moisturizers if you have any skin issues. I finally found one my skin tolerates and drinks up like water.
We're happy you're happy with this serum!

Soothing & Moisturising
I actually really like this! I have rosacea and can't normally use plant oils, but I've found this to be a really healing skin-support. I like to think it is helping to heal my moisture barrier. I do find I can't use it every day, my skin doesn't like too many products at once, but it's good to give my skin a bit of extra support every few days. Thank you GoW!
So very glad to hear this is working so well for you! thank you for the review!

This stuff solved a serious skin barrier disruption I'd had for weeks in two applications. It's a literal miracle and I won't be without it!
