Garden of Wisdom's Encapsulated Glacier Water Hydrating Gel is enriched with abundant minerals and trace elements, serving as an exceptional hydrator and skin revitalizer. Crafted at the maximum strength recommended by the manufacturer, glacier water imparts a revitalizing, invigorating sensation, leaving the skin refreshed and pristine. With its deeply soothing properties, this gel offers relief to irritated skin while providing a refreshing and calming effect. Ideal for all skin types, this deeply hydrating and restoring product is a must-have for your skincare routine.
Glycoproteins are a dermal matrix material. It is a true moisturizing glycoprotein taken from living cells. It is extracted from yeast (not the kind of yeast to cause any topical issues) by a controlled process that preserves its high molecular weight and native structure, making it the perfect moisturizing and strengthening collagen replacement for skin and hair.
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 stuff is flippin’ amazing! I add it after my toner and before oils. As I get older, my skin gets drier and this helps bring some more moisture to my sensitive skin without irritation or breakouts. It’s even helped with some of my texture. Please don’t change a thing about this gel!

so simple yet effective
This is literally the perfect hydrating serum for sensitive, acne prone skin. My skin soaks it in right before I apply my daily moisturizer and SPF. Keeping this in my skincare arsenal.
Thank you, Pamela.
This is a real gem for us. As you mentioned it works and with such a simple formula
plus a magical touch tossed in. ;-)

Very hydrating gel
I love the feel of this gel, it's so good! I've described it to my friends as a drinking a tall glass of water through my face. As I'm getting older my skin feels drier and drier and this gel feel so quenching.
Thank you so much for this review! We really appreciate it!

The ultimate lightweight moisturizer
This has a similar consistency to a hyaluronic acid serum. It's perfect if you have super sensitive skin because it contains no oils, fragrance, or anything comedogenic or fungal acne triggers. It's the safest moisturizer, especially in the summer. It goes on nicely and feels good on the skin.
I use this at night with a few drops of an oil and it’s the perfect level of moisture for my skin, even during winter. Heavy creams cause issue for me and this is perfect.

Amazingly enough
Amazingly enough... this stuff really seems to be making a difference for the skin under and around my eyes. I'm pleasantly surprised by this eye treatment. I especially love that it is all natural and no silicones, which my skin seems to immensely dislike. I have only been using for a short time but so far am very impressed. I definitely plan to order again!

Great experience
Great experience. The company sent me extra oil and even more squalene that I needed as a replacement. They acted quick and very professional. Thanks!r

Excellent
I’m so happy to have finally found a nail product that absorbs into the nail (and hopefully the nail bed) instead of sitting on top of it. I love that it needs no removal and that I can keep adding more without developing layers of it on top.

This is awesome. I use it to remove my mascara and it works perfectly without pulling and pressing to get it off.

Feels so great!
I LOVE spritzing my face with this! So refreshing and hydrating.
This really keeps my lips hydrated and they feel nourished. Not sure I really see any plumping after a month of using but I'm over 70 and my lips may be beyond the point of no return :)

This worked so well on an irritated and dry spot on my neck that I decided to start using it on my cuticles, which are very rough and dry. I let it dry and then cover with an occlusive like jojoba oil. It’s been freakin’ magical. I also use your nail serum which I’m having great results with. I love that when I put it on my face, I feel absolutely no stinging or burning.
Hi Margie,
We’re so glad this found its way into your routine in a few different ways.
-`♡´- It’s always a good sign when skin that’s irritated or dry can settle in without any stinging or discomfort.
Also, it perfect that you trusted your instincts and paired it with a light occlusive for your cuticles… that kind of layering can make a real difference.
-`♡´- Thank you for sharing how you’re using it, and we’re really happy to hear the nail serum is working well for you too.
Markey, Jen and your whole team ❤️

I've read that green tea products enhance red light therapy. I apply this every time before my red light sessions. Thanks for another great and useful product!
Hey Margie,
