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.   

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.
