This is our 10-piece Clay Sampler Pack with a FREE .25 ounce Moor Mud BONUS!
Mix our clays with your favorite hydrosols, aloe juice, water, milk, yogurt, and/or honey. You can use nearly any liquid that you can think of. Try different consistencies and choose what works best for you. Keep notes.
Bentonite Clay (1 ounce) Bentonite Clay is very unusual because once it becomes hydrated, the electrical and molecular components of the clay rapidly change and produce an "electrical charge." Its highest power lies in absorbing toxins, impurities, heavy metals, and other internal contaminants. Bentonite clay's structure assists it in attracting and soaking up poisons on its exterior wall. It slowly draws them into the clay's interior center, where it is held in a repository.
Blue Clay (.5 ounce) Derived from weathered volcanic ash, blue clay is rich in mineral nutrients. With excellent detoxifying properties, this clay is perfect for oily skin, drawing out impurities and producing clearer, cleaner pores. Blue montmorillonite clay is the most potent of all clays. It is the one that presents the highest efficiency in terms of detoxification.
Fuller's Earth Clay, aka Indian Healing Clay (1 ounce) Fuller's Earth is a naturally occurring sedimentary clay composed mainly of alumina, silica, iron oxides, lime, magnesia, and water in highly variable proportions. It has the incredible ability to remove oils and impurities from the skin and produces a lightening effect on the outer epidermal layer. This is why we have seen several products marketed as "facial bleach" or "skin bleaching" clay. It comes highly recommended to those with acne problems, blemishes, spotting, and people prone to oily skin. It is also a beneficial base ingredient for facial clay recipes and adds a nice finishing touch to clay products, promising to aid its user with their battle against oily skin.
French Green Clay (1 ounce) French Green Clay is one of our global community's most majestic, most effective, and most commonly used mineral skin clays. Gently exfoliating, French Green Clay (AKA Illite Clay) contains a cornucopia of valuable elements, which include montmorillonite, several (up to 9) important mineral oxides, magnesium, calcium, potassium, dolomite, silica, manganese, phosphorous, silicon, copper, and selenium.
Red Kaolin Clay (1 ounce) Red Kaolin Clay has a considerably stronger drawing power than other Kaolin Clay's. While most clay in the Kaolin variety is ideal for dry, sensitive, and normal skin types, Red Kaolin is more suitable for oily skin. It can make a great addition to acne masks or detoxifying body wraps. Its bold, dusty red-orange coloring makes it an ideal additive for coloring heavy-duty soaps. Due to its strong drawing ability, Red Kaolin Clay should not be used in a facial more than once per week.
Rhassoul Clay (1 ounce) This remarkable natural source comes from Morocco, reddish brown cosmetic clay known as Rhassoul. It has been used for over 1400 years as a soap, shampoo, and skin conditioner, and the finest spas across the globe currently utilize it for therapeutic benefits. It must be extracted under extraordinary conditions when it lies deep beneath the Atlas Mountains in Eastern Morocco. Through meticulous selection and extensive contact with the raw material, we are proud to offer this rich Rhassoul that is unique in quality and purity. When first mined, Rhassoul clay appears chunky, polished brown, soap-like clay resembling rocks. After further refinement and micronization, the end product is a smooth, almost silken earth.
Orange Kaolin Clay (1 ounce) Orange Kaolin Clay is a mild kaolin clay that can be used, on average, to dry skin to gently cleanse and exfoliate the skin while improving the skin’s circulation. Pink clay is tinted with iron oxides and gives a beautiful pink color to soaps and powders. Pink clay is a general-purpose medium-weight clay used chiefly for its lovely rose color, but it also adds silkiness, slip, and absorbency to soaps.
Sea Clay (1 ounce) Sea Clay is excellent for ALL skin types! Used in masks, bath products, powders, and soap. The high mineral content helps to draw impurities from the skin.
Yellow Clay (1 ounce) Yellow Kaolin Clay is a mild clay, making it suitable for sensitive skin. It helps stimulate circulation to the skin while gently exfoliating and cleansing it. Yellow Kaolin Clay does not draw oils from the skin excessively and can be used on most dry skin types. It can be used in soap and body powders.
White Kaolin Clay (1 ounce) White Kaolin Clay is found in virtually all powdered, dry, and most wet cosmetics. Its natural adsorbent properties make it essential in hygiene products, and it is often found in soaps, scrubs, poultices, deodorants, facial powders, and masks. It is the mildest of all clays and is suitable to add to products created for people with sensitive skin. It helps stimulate circulation to the skin while gently exfoliating and cleansing it. It does not draw oils from the skin, so it can also be used on dry skin types without negative results.
Free Bonus! Moor Mud (.25 ounce) Moor Mud, commonly called "Heilmoor," results from nearly 30,000 years of living plant dynamics in ancient bogs in one of Europe's richest and most prolific valleys. It has been investigated and proven that "Moor Mud" has tremendous therapeutic properties. These bountiful, breathtaking valleys are kept "alive" through active organic deposits that are uncontaminated. Moor Mud is detoxifying, anti-inflammatory, astringent, and tightening while drawing out impurities and toning the skin's surface.
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.
This is another favorite! Didn't think product was doing much until my husband mentioned that my face looked smoother and more even. He also has started using it now and has gotten many compliments. Doesn't burn or sting like ascorbic acid. I use 3-4 times a week at night only and love that it contains squalane because it gives me a little extra moisture.

Great skincare for my acne prone skin
I have combo acne prone skin and have a hard time finding products that don't break me out but are moisturizing enough. GoW has been a game changer.
ReNew Cream with Renovage
Julie
not sure if this is the cleanser for me
Upon doing the cottonball test this item did not clean my face properly for me . I only use jojoba oil and concealer in a few places. I do believe it has quality ingredients, I have mixed it w the Skin Friendly Cucumber cleanser as to make that cleanser more gentle for MY high maintenance skin.

Healing and smoothing
This serum has really reduced my redness! It's especially helpful any time my skin is freaking out - it seems to reduce the time it takes for breakouts to heal. The hydration and consistency are exactly what I needed as an extra step between my hydrating toner and moisturizer. Also, a friend I was catching up with actually commented on my "glow" - I thought that was only something that happened to people with naturally good skin.
Calming Moisture Serum

Fantastic product
I have very red and easily irritated skin. This product annihilates the redness overnight. I had been really struggling to find something that helped and this was the only thing that did. It didn't irritate my skin in any way when applied. If there's a moisturizer to match in the future, I volunteer as the guinea pig lol. Thank you for a wonderful product.

Rose Stem Cell & Peptide Serum - Floral Peptide Infusion for Renewed Skin Vitality

This serum saved my skin!
I have developed rosacea in the last couple of years and I’ve struggled to find any products that truly helped heal my skin. My skin was dry, irritated, and felt like sandpaper. It seemed like nothing would absorb or make my skin feel hydrated. I’ve seen a dermatologist and have been prescribed multiple creams that have made my skin feel worse and I could never stick with them. I’ve used GoW products on and off for years but finally got fed up with the prescription route and decided to find a natural routine and stick with it. I’ve been using this serum twice a day with an oil blend as moisturizer and also incorporated a hypochlorous acid spray. The rosacea serum has been the thing that has saved my skin. In less than 2 weeks, my skin is no longer red and no longer feels like sandpaper. It’s plump and hydrated. Before, on close inspection, it looked like every pore on my face was clogged and had a layer of red, dry skin. That is nearly gone. This serum is incredible.

There's something about coconut vinegar that just hits right...
I LOVE to close my eyes and spray all of the Coco tonics on my face after washing it. It smells amazing and makes it so less is more as you move forward with serums and creams. It's like self-care in a spritzer.
CoCoFen Clarifying Tonic

The scent to rival all scent-sations!
It is the most DIVINE of all the serums I've tried at GoW, not only due to it's efficacy, but the scent takes you straight into a rose garden on a mild spring day. Lovely feeling on my skin and to my senses.

As an acne prone girlie, I’ve found this helpful in keeping the unwanted bumps at bay.
Hi Vera
We are always pleased to know our products are providing our customers with much-needed relief.
It's crazy how our skin can make or break our days.
Wishing you the best,
Markey
Thought to try this for the first time and I don’t regret it. It feels hydrating and refreshing. The spray works great for reapplication.
Vera,
Thank you for the positive review. It's incredible how something as simple as hydration can make our days
seem to feel better.
Wishing you the best in your skincare journey.

The Garden of Wisdom AHA + Kojic Acid Serum has been a true staple in my skincare routine
The Garden of Wisdom AHA + Kojic Acid Serum has been a true staple in my skincare routine. I only realized how effective it was when I couldn’t find it for a while—during that time, my skin really struggled. I even tried another serum with a similar formula, but it just didn’t deliver the same results. Now that I’ve found this serum again, I’m beyond happy! My skin is already showing great improvement. It keeps my acne under control and tackles my stubborn post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) better than anything else I’ve tried. This product is definitely a keeper!
Oh, Vera!
This is such great feedback, thank you so much. That's funny (not in a humorous way, though) that you had to run out to recognize its potential. So completely understandable! It happens to all of us.
Thank you so much for sharing this important feedback with others.
Markey
