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.
Spring Water hydrating Cherry Distillate hydrating, wonderful, natural scent Glutathione healing, encourages healthy cell development it is the major anti-oxidant produced by the body. Your body cannot make antioxidants such as vitamins C and E and could not work properly without glutathione. ^Our immune systems depend on a steady supply of glutathione. Without it, our immune defenses become weakened. It is important in detoxifying many substances, including heavy metals, breakdown products of cigarettes and automobile exhaust, many cancer-causing agents, and a multitude of pollutants and toxins we encounter daily. The major energy source produced in our cells is derived from tiny structures called mitochondria. These mitochondria would burn up without the presence of glutathione.

Healing cherry for my skin
I decided to try this product out because my skin gets extra irritated in the summer. My sensitive skin had no adverse reaction to it. The texture is lovely and glides onto the skin beautifully. I've noticed a reduction in irritation after using this product in combination with a couple others. I know the note says the serum has a very strong smell, but I didn't find it to be overpowering.

Thank you for sharing your experience! We're so happy to hear that our product has been gentle on your sensitive skin and helped reduce irritation. It’s great that you found the texture smooth and easy to apply! Everyone’s scent perception is different, so we appreciate your thoughts on the fragrance as well. If you ever have any questions or need recommendations for complementary products, we’re here to help. Enjoy your glowing skin! Your GOW Team

Fresh, soft feel
I've tried a few different serums for different purposes, but I found that this cherry serum felt the best on my rosacea (type 2) skin. It doesn't leave a drying feeling afterwards (though I always follow up with a few drops of the prickly pear oil anyway), and it really has a healing and soothing effect on my skin almost immediately! Feels fresh and soft :) Thanks to GOW's skin consultant Jen, I am happy to have found this product!
So glad to hear this is working for you :) Thank you!

Great for sensitive skin
I started using this serum recently after reading some reviews and looking at the ingredients. I am not disappointed. This product helps moisterize, calm, plump, and make my skin look dewy. Similar in ways to the Butterfly Peptide product that GOW sells, this helps calm and lessen redness in my reactive, mature skin. I use it after cleansing while my skin in still moist. Let sit a minute, then I add facial oil. It blends together beautifully and helps my skin look great.
Thank you so much! This is one of our favorite calming serums :)

So soothing!
The cherry healing serum is another staple in my daily GOW routine. It is so soothing and healing and feels great on my skin. Sometimes it smells like glutathione but I got used to it and even like it now, and most of the time it just smells faintly like the cherry distillate, which I love! I have used this serum on bad sunburns, too, and it took the burn down a couple notches and healed it fast!
Thank you for taking the time to share about this serum! It is worth it! :)
I recommend this to EVERYONE who tells me they have KP or body acne. It’s magic, fr.
I used to get breakouts on my glutes and KP on my arms but if I use this 2-3x a week…. Clear as day! I’ll use it a bit more in the summer too.
It’s strong so be sure to wash your hands afterwards and avoid any compromised skin and BODY ONLY!
Thanks GoW for consistently having the best quality prices while still charging reasonable costs instead of inflated ones. Tysm!!!

Oh gosh, thank you! It means so much that you’ve found something that works so well for your skin and that you’re sharing it with others. And your words about our quality and prices really touched us. We work hard to keep good skincare within reach, so hearing this makes my day. :-)

Rita,
Thank you 😊❣️ for mentioning this!
A larger bottle or refill size is certainly worth looking into, especially for something you use often.
We appreciate the nudge and your thoughtfulness about reducing packaging. :-)
Warmly,
Markey 🌻🌻🌻
I love the color and texture of this serum. I have used 2 bottles and I'm excited about the improvement in my texture.
Shawna, this makes me smile! Two bottles in, and it's wonderful to hear you're seeing improvement in your skin’s texture.
I love that blue color, too. :-)
Thank you for taking the time to share this with us!
Warmly,
Markey 😊

Miles,
I LOL when I read this because I thought of Dolly Parton's 'Best Little Whorehouse in Texas', the movie. Aside from the laugh, thank you for the wonderful review.
I absolutely adore this balm as well.
Markey 🤠
this cleanser didn't work for me, but i give it 4 stars because it seems to be a well formulated product that most skin types would like. i have extremely sensitive skin, eczema and rosacea, and i find if i use it more than two or three times a week i get kind of pink and blotchy. the cleanser has a lovely slippery texture, spreads and rinses very easily. it is quite concentrated so it should last a good while. it has a nice grainy, oaty scent that some people may not like (the aroma doesn't linger). here is a handy tip-if you are annoyed by the label getting wet and sticky when you touch it, try covering it with a few coats of clear nail polish, it really helps!
Hi Donna, thank you for sharing your detailed experience. We're glad you appreciated the formulation and texture, and we appreciate your tip about protecting the label.
Sorry to hear it isn't ideal for your sensitive skin, but your feedback will be taken back to
our next meeting for discussion. 🧐 Nail Polish is a great idea! Our labels are 'water-resistant' but not waterproof.
Thanks for your support!
Your GoW Team ❤️
