Gentle odor control that works with your skin, not against it.
Garden of Wisdom’s natural deodorant cream offers a gentle approach to odor control without clogging pores or interfering with the skin’s natural balance. It is designed to keep underarms feeling fresh while allowing normal perspiration to occur.
Zinc salts of ricinoleic acid work by binding odor-causing compounds rather than killing bacteria. Because they are not bactericidal, they do not disrupt the skin’s natural microbial flora. They also do not function as antiperspirants and do not block sweat. The result is a very mild, breathable deodorant that helps neutralize odor without pore-clogging or irritation.
Method of Application Apply as needed to the underarm area.
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.
I was on the search for a new natural deodorant when a product I'd used for years went off the market. My husband and I like the GOW cream. Tried the unscented. It did the job for both of us. I'll order samples of the three scented deodorant cream to see what I like best.
Andrea,
Thank you for sharing your experience with the the Deodorantt Cream and that it has been a good fit for both you and your husband. It's wonderful that the unscented version worked well, and we hope you enjoy exploring the scented options to find your new favorite. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need any assistance as you try the samples.
Sunniest regards,
Markey

This works!
I hate natural deodorants that are on the market because they simply don't work for me. I started using this brand of natural deodorant after my recent order, and it works well. I am buying more. I use this first, and in the summer when it's super humid and hot, I top if off with some homemade body powder I put together from baking soda, cornstarch, and dried clay to give it more umph. It is very hot where I live.
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!

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.

Feels great on the skin
Feels great on the skin. I use it after cleansing but before serums, and it feels much more useful than a mineral water spray. I also like that it can be used throughout the day for a little boost. I had it in my purse last time I took a flight and I think it helped my skin stay happy during the journey.

I recommend it to everyone!
I love this schampoo!! I was a little skeptical if an all natural shampoo would work, especially since I have fine, straight hair that tends to get greasy after only a couple of days with regular high quality shampoos, but this really works. I can go for 3 full days without washing it and I immediately noticed how powder soft my hair felt after the first wash. I think it even washes out the hard water. I will definitely be buying this again!

Works on Melasma!
Nothing has worked so far on my Melasma as well as this. My skin has a glow that it doesn't have when I'm not using. And it's keeping acne at bay. There's a noticeable difference when I don't use this. Don't want to go without.

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.

Thankyou ❤️ so much for your wonderful review!

Hi Magdalena,
Thank you for being such a longtime supporter of the Clarifying Tonic! We appreciate taking your time to write this review for us.
Knowing has been a workhorse in your routine for so many years is fantastic to hear. There's no better compliment than earning a permanent place on someone's
skincare shelf.
It's especially helpful to hear how you use it to add a bit of moisture before applying your serum. This is a process we suggest all the time. It keeps from tugging the skin and also helps save money with products!
Thank you for sharing your experience and for being part of the GoW family all
these years!
Markey
