Garden of Wisdom'sCrystal Body Polish and Exfoliator wash offers a unique and safer alternative to traditional body scrubs, providing gentle exfoliation and pleasant scents. Garden of Wisdom has taken the safety aspect of body exfoliators seriously and eliminated oils from the "typical" body wash to prevent slipping and falling in the shower. It's important to consider all aspects of product safety, including potential hazards that may not be immediately obvious. So, try this excellent exfoliating wash. Use it and be safe!
Method of Application You would apply this as you would any body gel cleanser. Allowing this to sit for a few minutes will really exfoliate the body. As always, enjoy!
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.
Shipping Transit Note: Some customers have asked whether products can be affected by time in transit, especially during warmer months. Our products are formulated and preserved to remain stable during normal shipping times and should not spoil simply from being in transit.
That said, if you are concerned about heat exposure, you are welcome to add an ice pack to your order for extra peace of mind. Click here to add an ice pack.

My mom has Alzheimers and wants to do her own showering. I used to worry that she wasn't soaping up enough. But with the crystal body wash, I can rub it on her back, arms, and legs while she's getting ready for the shower and know she's getting clean. It's a big relief and a real solution to a real problem. We also use the almond plum scent, which is lovely. I'm excited to try a few others.
So glad she is loving this! And that it helps your situation too! <3

Save the drains!!!
Yay!!!! I do so love this body wash! I have dry skin that goes dull quickly so an exfoliating scrub has always been somewhere in my routine. My biggest gripe with scrubs is this: they are most all oil based and oil SHOULD NOT go down drains. We live on a septic system and as I don't want to pay lots of money to have it fixed, I do try to baby my drains and pipes. Because this is a chemical (lactic acid) and not a mechanical (like sugar-oil scrubs) exfoliation this scrub performs better, irritates my sensitive, dry skin less, and makes me feel much happier about not putting oil down the drain. Thank you Garden of Wisdom for this wonderful body wash! I am thoroughly in love with it. I have currently have the almond and plum essence but look forward to trying others. There is a lactic acid smell underneath the essence smell. I don't find it bad.. I enjoy knowing the lactic acid is in there.
Oh, and you should follow the instructions and put it on while your skin is dry and the shower is warming up. It a wonderful way to multitask.
This absolutely works and it works quickly! I notice a difference in my nail health, strength and length and I noticed a difference within a week. I stopped using it for a couple of weeks and my nails went back to dry and peeling. Within a few days of using it again, they were growing and strong. People actually noticed and complimented. It's easy to use with the brush application as well.

This serum visibly tightens the neck area after one use. It lives up to everything they state it does. I often try something different, waste my money, and come back to GOW for their products.

I recommend this to EVERYONE with KP
I recommend this to EVERYONE who tells me they have KP or body acne. It’s magic, fr.
I used to get breakouts on my glutes and KP on my arms but if I use this 2-3x a week…. Clear as day! I’ll use it a bit more in the summer too.
It’s strong so be sure to wash your hands afterwards and avoid any compromised skin and BODY ONLY!
Thanks GoW for consistently having the best quality prices while still charging reasonable costs instead of inflated ones. Tysm!!!

I wish you had a choice of a bigger bottle size or a big refill container. It would also be advantageous for the environment
