Garden of Wisdom's Classic Chamomile Face Cream with Emu Oil is a decadent yet simple face cream. Great for adding your own actives, and perfect for all skin types. Moisturizes effectively without leaving a greasy layer of residue on the skin.
NOTE: New option available if you are looking for a lighter texture - see our Lighter Version(located under the formula option), which contains Sugarmulse(emulsifier) instead of Polawax NF.
Method of Application Apply a pea sized to a dime sized amount, depending on what your skin needs, after the water soluble phase of your routine. This should be the final phase of layering in your skin care routine, as it will help to hold moisture and nutrients in the skin.
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.

Great to have on hand if you use a lot of actives!
Sometimes, you just need a great soothing moisturizer, and this one is my new favorite! I recently graduated from using retinol to tretinoin and whoaaaaa boy. All my other creams had actives that were only making the tret burn worse. This was perfect for helping soothe my skin, and now I use it to buffer the tret!

Best thing I have ever done for my face
I used to shy away from heavier creams as I have oily skin and a history of acne. But there is something about this face cream, it feels like mayonnaise when you put it on but it just absorbs so quickly and leaves you dewy, not greasy, and very moisturized. (My doctor actually asked me if I'd been getting laser peels done and...nope! Just this and a basic gentle face wash and sunscreen.) I recommend it to everyone I know.
Oh my gosh Paula, thank YOU! We love to hear reviews like this! They make our day and make everything we do come into full perspective!!
Appreciating you for taking the time to write this review!

I've been using this moisturizer (lighter version) for a few years now. It is fantastic! I find I can use it all year round. In the winter my face feels protected from the cold and wind, and in the summer it feels great when I've gotten too much sun. So soothing and doesn't leave my skin feeling oily. An all around great product!
This is an often overlooked product!
Glad you are liking it! Thank you :)
Love this! Works for my skin & allergic reactions! 😊
Yayyyyy, thank you for sharing this!
Not having any allergic reactions to a product is such a blessing.
Let us know how things go after a couple of months.
I find this product to be very beneficial for my aging skin as well.

I finally got around to using this. I decided that it did not meld well with the collective butters and oils I used. I ended up adding rose and mimosa wax to cover it up!
Rae Lynn,
We are sorry this happened. • ᴖ •
The name is deceiving. Although it is genuinely from the carnation flower, it doesn't
smell like a carnation. It has lovely properties, though.
We do hope the final formula has worked for you.
Your team from GoW.
I got this to harden a lotion bar recipe. It did the trick. I may have used a bit too much, though! I think I will back off to 1 oz next time.
Hi Rae Lynn
Good for you! I can't even share the length of time it took to create skin care products, or how hard those waxes were to work with. They still are at times.
Please keep in touch if you have any questions.
We are always here to help.

I finally got around to using this. It smells good.

This cream is so healing to my skin. I have a sensitivity to citrus products and get a terrible rash and my face will itch. This is the only product that calms my skin.I apply this and within a few hours the rash has diminished and the itchiness is gone. The Calendula Blossom Cream has saved my skin.

Magic in a bottle!
This product has become a required staple in my skincare routine. I use it everyday on my very sensitive skin that is prone to redness and dryness. Not only is it extremely calming and soothing, but it also makes my skin look more plump and moisturized. I never want to be without this product; it has shot to the top of my "best skincare products of all time" list, next to the gentle cleansing gel. I highly recommend trying this if you have sensitive or aging skin that needs a boost of rejuvenation.

Calming and refreshing. I love spritzing this hydrosol after my cleansing routine or midday. My skin loves both this and the rose hydrosol. The scents are also very lovely.

I adore a good lavender scented product! A natural botanical even more! I use this spritzer as a bottom layer to smooth and evenly distribute some of my other outstanding GOW products. It’s a great starter and makes me smile in the mornings.
