Garden of Wisdom's Jojoba Oil is excellent for use on skin, as it is incredibly close in composition to human skin. It has been traditionally used in the Southwestern United States to treat cuts, sores, and condition hair. Jojoba Oil is not greasy and sinks right into the skin. It is extremely beneficial to oily skin since it dissolves sebum and limits oil production. Jojoba oil protects skin, while also allowing it to breathe. It protects skin from free radicals with antioxidant properties.

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 into a separate,sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator. Carrier and Exotic Oils - generally, you can refrigerate all carrier oils, although some very rich oils will solidify. This is fine. All you have to do is take it 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. There are some oils with a super long shelf life, like Coconut Cream and Jojoba Oil.
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 (whole or ground) should be kept in a dark, cool and dry location. Herbal (liquid) Extracts - these are created using grain alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents (properties) from each herb - root, trunk, leaves, and flowers. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be stored in the refrigerator or a dark, dry place. Other Raw Ingredients - i.e., Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc. will all have a different shelf life.

Jojoba Oil Gold Organic! So Good!
I tried writing a review about five min ago and was in the middle of it and it just disappeared, so I have no idea where it went. LOL So I will try again. I'll start by saying that i've heard about the benefits of jojoba oil and how good it is for the hair for many years, but I hadn't heard that it is also good for my skin, so I bought a sample size from GOW! and now I am hooked until death do us part. It glides on my face so smoothly, and feels like silk on my skin. I also put it on my hair after shampooing, and my goodness, the shine that I have now is unbelievable. My hair was lifeless and dull until I used this oil. I do not want to ever be without it. Thanks GOW! I do want to place another order for larger sizes of these oils i'm using. Oh, did I mention, Argan, Black Raspberry Seed Oil, and GOW clarity and rejuvenate oil? Well I just did. These oils are fantastic. One of these oils is fading away my dark spots on my face. Now to find out which one is doing that. lol This will be a challenge for sure. It could be the frankincense or the prickly pear or that other unmentionable that I can't spell at the moment. lol But they are all fantastic oils.
