We first created this luxurious hand and body lotion for a local arts and crafts fair, and it was an instant hit—we sold out completely! It’s no surprise, though, because this lotion is simply fantastic. It hydrates and moisturizes without leaving any greasy residue, making it the perfect indulgence for dry and dehydrated skin.
Garden of Wisdom's Creamy Hand and Body Lotion is designed to pamper your skin with love and care. We’ve carefully chosen gentle, nourishing ingredients that heal and rejuvenate, making it suitable for all skin types, especially those with dry or cracked skin. The hydrating power of Spring Water and Hyaluronic Acid works in harmony with soothing Aloe Vera Gel, which not only calms and heals but also offers mild pain relief and anti-inflammatory benefits.
The rich, regenerative properties of Mango Butter and Mango Oil provide deep nourishment while Conditioning Wax softens and conditions your skin. Our lotion’s silky texture is enhanced by a Silky Silicone Blend that leaves your skin feeling smooth and velvety. To top it all off, we’ve included Lingonberry Seed Oil for its superb emollient qualities, ensuring your skin feels as soft as it looks.
We’ve ensured that every drop of this lotion is packed with goodness—there are no harsh ingredients, just pure, skin-loving actives. Glycerin draws moisture from the air and seals it into your skin.
Method of Application Apply to skin after you shower, or as needed. If you have dry skin, apply while skin is still moist to help to lock in moisture and hydration.
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 is not necessary, but it surely 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 alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents (properties) from each herbs - root, trunk, leaves, and flowers. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be kept in the refrigerator or a dark place. Other Raw Ingredients - i.e., Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc. will all have a different shelf life.

I’m really liking this lotion.. It makes my hands so soft! I can’t wait to see what it does for them long term. My only issue is that I want to try all the scents. So far, I’ve tried the Fall Harvest and Meditate for Serenity. Both smell great. I love using the Meditate for Serenity before bedtime or when needing a calming scent.
We so very much appreciate your review! Thank you :)

Soft and effective
A great moisturizer for my hands and body. Even the unscented form smells great.
