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.
Safflower Oil (High Linoleic) - one of the best-known oils for acne due to its High Linoleic content
GRAPE SEED OIL - astringent
PERILLA SEED OIL - antibacterial Neem Seed Oil - antibacterial Cromollient SCE - offers a silky emollience while creating a product that is water soluble and allows for a clean rinsing product Thyme Essential Oil - antibacterial

This stuff is amazing
This stuff is amazing. It gets all the gunk out of your pores and makes your skin glow with such clarity. I’ve been using this cleansing oil for about 10 years now. I’ll never use anything else. It helped balance my extremly oil acne prone skin as well.
⋆.˚✮ ✮˚.⋆ for this lovely review of the Blemish Prone Cleansing Oil!
Gunk is a perfect descriptive word for a well balanced cleansing oil.
We are so grateful to be part of your routine and wish you the very
best on your skincare journey.

I’ve never used oil based cleanser before; I was hesitant to try it because I have combination skin
I’ve never used oil based cleanser before; I was hesitant to try it because I have combination skin. My T zone does feel a bit oily when I’m done using this product but before long that diminishes. So for winter weather, this product has been fine - will have to see how it goes once the hot, humid weather returns
Hi there! We're glad to hear that you gave our Blemish Prone Cleansing Oil a chance, even though you were hesitant at first. We understand that combination skin can be tricky to manage, especially with oil-based products. We're happy to hear that the oiliness has diminished after using the product and that it has been fine for you during the winter weather.
We recommend continuing to use it and monitoring its performance during the hot and humid weather.
Thank you for trying our product.

Fantastic product
I just started using this and it’s the best cleansing oil I’ve ever used. I think the secret is the cromollient; I can apply it, brush my teeth, then use a damp washcloth to remove it. My face remains lightly moisturized yet cleansed and ready for a serum. And I can skip all the annoying splashing and neck strain from washing my face over the sink.
As someone with MCAS who reacts extremely easily to almost all skincare, and cannot handle fragrances or even most essential oils, I’m thrilled to have found a product that has a pleasant scent and doesn’t smell like chemicals or trigger reactions at all. Most folks probably wouldn’t notice the very light thyme/herbal scent but I find it very calming.
Hi there
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your positive experience with our Blemish Prone Cleansing Oil. We love to hear that this product has become the best cleansing oil for you, and that you have found the secret ingredient - cromollient - to be effective. We are also happy to know that it is gentle enough for your sensitive skin and does not trigger any reactions. We appreciate your support and hope that our product continues to meet your expectations.
Your Team @ GoW 😊

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,

The one ounce bottle with the dropper was a convenient way to refill my bottle with the pump top
The one ounce bottle with the dropper was a convenient way to refill my bottle with the pump top. Absolutely love what this has been doing for my skin.

So far my skin likes this after spritzing with hydrosol. Then I mix a little with sweet almond oil to help seal it in. It doesn't clog my pores or make me break out like other products. Thank you!
I just tried the Pomegranate Super Fruit Hydrating Mist. Great scent. Great hydration for use throughout the day.

I love this serum so much
I love this serum so much. I have sensitive skin, and use this once a week so it lasts a while, and it makes such a big difference. Smooths lines, cleans pores, and evens skin tone.

Unclogs pores and smooths bumps
This product has unclogged my pores and smoothed the bumps on my cheeks. I have very sensitive skin and this did not irritate my face. It does not work overnight, you need to stick with it for a while but it worked for me!

My skin's texture and firmness have improved

Superb for Soothing Sunburns
Love this. So simple but effective. I use it daily on my face as it soothes my sensitive skin. Whenever anyone in our family has had too much sun or a sunburn, we use this - it's incredibly soothing and hydrating. Even my picky kiddos happily put it on sun-parched skin.

Work horse in my skin care routine
Work horse in my skin care routine. Have used for years. I spray a few sprays after cleansing on my face, neck, and chest, then use the extra moisture it provides to spread my serum. Resets the ph of my skin, makes everything feel more comfortable, and cost effective. Love it.
I love that GOW offers such rare, natural items you can't find anywhere else
I love that GOW offers such rare items you can't find anywhere else. I have very sensitive skin/ type 2 rosacea. I cannot seem to use this directly on my face but I wash with water, then spray when wet a few sprays, let soak in for anti-aging, anti-bacterial benefits, gently press into skin, and wait a minute, then rinse, proceed with routine.
Hi Jennifer 😊
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're delighted you appreciate our unique products and are finding a routine that works for your skin.
Your thoughtful review means a lot to us.
Stay radiant!

A few weeks ago I purchased the Advance Peptide Nail Support Serum because my finger nails have vertical ridges. I am using the serum every night and I am seeing great results. I have tried many other products over the past couple of years and was about to give up until I found the Advance Peptide Nail Support Serum.
Patricia!!!
Thank you for this feedback. I love this product. It has smoothed out the ridges in my fingernails and is strengthening them as well.
I LOVE PEPTIDES.
Happy hands and nails to you...
Markey 👌
I love this Lavender Recovery Gel so much. Whenever my skin is irritated or healing from something like a popped pimple, I always reach for this recovery gel and it noticeably speeds up the healing process. If my skin is really irritated, I'll apply a layer before bed and cover it with a bandage overnight, and the difference by morning is amazing! I keep the 1 oz pump at home and the 0.25 oz size in my travel toiletry bag, so I'm never without it when I need it. This is a 10/10 product, please never stop making it!
Hi Rachel, thank you so much for your wonderful review! 💜
I love this serum myself, and I have never been fond of lavender,
so that says a lot!
Your loyalty means the world to us. We'll do our best to keep it available forever! 😊
I love how light and layer-able this hydragel is. The green tea and oat beta glucans are simple, but effective ingredients that just make sense together! This is a great addition to any skincare regimen.
Hi there!
This is such a great review, thank you!
This has become one of our top-selling products.
It's awesome to hear you love the light moisturizing it offers and find it perfect for your skin.
Thank you for sharing your experience!
