Garden of Wisdom's Happy Scalp Detox My Itchy and Dry Scalp Serum is for dry and itchy scalps. We are sure everyone knows or has heard about scalp treatments on the market. We are no different. We obtain samples constantly, although not all will make it to our testing phase. This one did! The composition of the Apiscalp™ is not simply celery seed soaked in fractionated coconut oil. Apiscalp™ is a plant-based ingredient obtained from the sustainable supercritical CO2 extraction process.
Method of Application It is best to apply this to clean hair and a dry scalp. Apply several drops around your scalp and gently massage in. Leave in over night. If for some reason (which we do not foresee) your scalp begins to burn, immediately wash your scalp.
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.

Healthy Scalp
I am a curly girl and I have always struggled with a dry itchy scalp. I love GOW products and had to try this. I will definitely repurchase! I liberally massage in product early on my wash day and leave it in until I wash my hair. My scalp is super happy and no longer itchy. In between washes I moisturize my scalp with GOW Squalane Oil.
A customer fave for sure! Thank you for this review :)

Itchiness and buildups free scalp
I feel I’m compelled to write this review because this product truly deserves to be honored and recognized. I bought this almost a year ago because my scalp started to itch and no matter how many times I washed my hair there was a distinct smell that lingered. Then I discovered this because of the silicon in the shampoo that I used to use. I decided to give this serum a try. I used it three times a week and my Scalp immediately stopped getting greasy the next morning so there wasn’t a need to wash it everyday though I preferred to and still. I felt relieved and my scalp felt light and fresh. Now I changed my routine and I’m using this serum and a silicone free shampoo and I have to say I’ve never been happier.
Thank you for this very detailed review! So glad you are loving it :)
I love this serum so much. I have sensitive skin, and use this once a week so it lasts a while, and it makes such a big difference. Smooths lines, cleans pores, and evens skin tone.

Unclogs pores and smooths bumps
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!

Superb for Soothing Sunburns
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.

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!
