To fortify and protect, pro-vitamin B5, keratin amino acids, silk (hydrolyzed), and L-arginine help restore hair’s natural resilience, reducing breakage and improving texture over time. Rhodiola extract and allantoin provide additional soothing and conditioning properties, making this shampoo ideal for sensitive scalps. With a clean, unscented formula, Locks of Lovely Shampoo is perfect for those who prefer a fragrance-free hair care experience while still enjoying premium-quality ingredients. Experience the beauty of deeply cleansed, nourished, and naturally radiant hair with every wash!
Method of Application This should be used as any shampoo would be applied. Let sit on the hair for several minutes and rinse thoroughly with warm water. I know (duh, Markey). :-) Our testers here did not need to use a conditioner afterward. We want your feedback!
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.

Mounting stress levels can have a detrimental effect on the body, triggering a nutrient-conserving mode where the body prioritizes essential survival functions over others, such as hair health. Consequently, hair issues and hair loss become more pronounced. Rhodiola rosea, an adaptogenic herb, offers a solution with its anti-stress and fatigue-fighting properties that help lower stress-inducing enzymes in the body.
The benefits of Rhodiola rosea for hair are largely attributed to its adaptogenic qualities, which enhance the body's ability to manage stress, thereby indirectly supporting hair health. Here's how it works: **Improves Stress Resistance**: Rhodiola rosea is rich in antioxidants that neutralize free radicals and help balance hormones, reducing cortisol levels, the primary stress hormone. High cortisol levels can cause hair follicles to shrink, exacerbating hair issues. Regular intake of Rhodiola rosea supplements boosts the body's stress resistance, mitigating hair fall and other hair-related problems associated with poor follicle health.
**Maintains Hormonal Balance**: The endocrine system regulates hormone production, which is vital for the growth and reproduction of hair follicles. By aiding in hormonal balance, Rhodiola rosea directly contributes to healthier hair and reduces hair fall concerns.
**Enhanced Blood Circulation**: A well-functioning body ensures optimal performance of all systems, including blood circulation. Rhodiola rosea supplements promote normalization, facilitating free blood flow and delivering oxygen and nutrients throughout the body, including the hair follicles. This improved nutrient supply enhances hair follicle health, alleviating hair concerns. Black Castor Oil D-Panthenol Baobab Powder Extract Allantoin L-Arginine
Locks of Lovely Shampoo (Unscented): Pure, Nourishing, and Gentle Care for Your Hair
Love this shampoo! I have an oily scalp but dry hair, and somehow this formula balances both. My hair is much softer (less breakage), and it doesn't need washing as often. It's remarkable that this works without conditioner.

We’re blushing, or maybe that’s just our shampoo bubbling with pride! Thank you for the lovely shoutout to Locks of Lovely Shampoo.
Balancing an oily scalp and dry ends is no small feat, but this shampoo understood the assignment.
We’re thrilled to hear your hair is feeling softer, stronger, and sassier with less wash-day drama (and no conditioner sidekick!).
Who knew one bottle could do it all? We might start calling it the overachiever of the shower shelf.
Thanks again for sharing the love your hair clearly has great taste. ♀️

Luxurious shampoo
I love this shampoo. It makes my hair soft yet full. Like others have said, I don't usually use conditioner with this shampoo as it feels like a shampoo and conditioner all in one. I just lather up and leave it in for a few minutes. I also like that it is unscented.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! It’s wonderful to know our shampoo is leaving your hair soft and full, exactly what we hoped for when creating it!
We love that you’ve found it nourishing enough to skip the conditioner - this kind of simplicity can make all the difference in a busy routine. And we’re especially glad you appreciate the unscented formula. We know how important it is to have gentle, fragrance-free options that still feel indulgent.
Thanks again for sharing your experience

Great shampoo
I have very curly hair. I have also lost a lot of weight recently. My hair has been limp and thin feeling which is not my norm. This shampoo has helped my dry scalp and limp hair. My curls have more definition and my scalp doesn't feel dry and sore. My only wish is for a matching conditioner or deep conditioning treatment to go with it. I still have to use conditioner, but that didn't come as a shock to me.
Jen
Thank you for your review! We're so glad to hear that our shampoo has helped bring back definition to your curls and improved your scalp health. We appreciate your feedback about a matching conditioner or deep treatment, it's definitely something we’ll keep in mind for the future! In the meantime, we recommend pairing it with a hydrating conditioner to maintain moisture and keep your curls looking their best. Thanks again for sharing your experience! I love this shampoo as well Markey

Outstanding shampoo. My scalp and hair are very clean after using this. No irritation and no build-up. Far superior to many of the shampoos that I have recently used. I will definitely continue to purchase this product.

Great
This shampoo is great for my hair, but also for my scalp which is no surprise with the ingredients that GOW employs. I use several GOW products for my facial skin. Now I have as good a product for the rest of my head.
Thank you SO much!
We get really nice and positive feedback for this product and yours is greatly appreciated as well.
Enjoy and please let us know if you have any follow up questions, ideas or thoughts about this shampoo.
This serum is a lovely tool in fighting signs of aging cause by lifes little stressors :)
Thank you, Erika.
You are adorable. We are always happy to hear when a product shows the results
one is hoping for.
Thank you for the video!

As a senior I didn't know what to expect. However, in the last two weeks I have noticed that my deep wrinkles look smoother and fuller. i realize it's important to persevere if one wants to make a change. So I'll continue using it morning and night. Thank you for a quality product!
⋆.˚✮ ✮˚.⋆ for taking the time to share this. Hearing that you’re noticing your skin look smoother and fuller with continued use means a great deal to us.
Skincare changes take patience, and your note about perseverance really resonates. As someone who is almost 70 myself, I understand how important it is to give the skin time and consistency, and to choose products that feel supportive rather than aggressive.
Thank you for your trust and for being part of Garden of Wisdom.
Markey and the Fabulous GoW Crew
This is the best cream for “mature” skin. I have tried many highly recommended expensive products but this is the only one that actually works, together with a couple of other GOW products as recommended by Jen, to give my skin that “youthful glow” as commented on by my friends. I especially appreciate the natural ingredients with no strange chemicals!
However, as good as this cream is, it is eclipsed by the amazing customer service and suggestions from Jen who tolerated my multiple questions and responded so quickly that I felt as if I was their only customer!
Thank you Jen and GOW for all your help and wonderful products.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this. Hearing that this cream has truly supported your skin and helped bring out that kind of glow means SO much to all of us.
Equally meaningful is your note about working with Jen. Thoughtful guidance and real conversations are just as important to us as the formulas themselves, and she puts so much care into helping each person feel supported and understood.
Thank you for your trust, your kindness, and for being part of Garden of Wisdom.
We’re grateful to be on this journey with you.
I love using this on my body. It's magical on knees and elbows. Definitely reviving for dry/rough skin and magical for the rest of my body. Hope this gets made into a body lotion.
Hi Alyssa
Oh, you have no idea how happy this makes us. This really is a beautiful cream, and it’s always so meaningful to hear when skin responds to it in such a positive way.
The formula holds a special place for us, and the name does too. It actually came from a little in-house naming contest years ago, and while it’s quirky, it ended up being the perfect fit.
Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review.
Wishing you the very best on your skincare journey.
Markey
This is a fantastic everyday facial cleanser, but I wanted to share another use—it’s the absolute best “feminine” cleanser ever! Hopefully most of us know not to use soaps with harsh pH that can cause problems down there, but sometimes I felt like a water-only wash wasn’t quite enough. Super sensitive cleansing oil to the rescue! I’ve never felt fresher since using this product. Cleanses without stripping or disrupting your most delicate skin’s balance. Perfect!
Hi, Emily ˚‧｡⋆⋆｡‧˚
Thank you for sharing this. We are always happy to here when a product such as the 'Super Sensitive Cleansing Oil' has felt gentle, balanced, and supportive for your skin.
Our goal is always to create formulas that cleanse effectively while respecting the skin’s natural balance, especially for those with sensitivities.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review.

So far I like the PPSO and the way the oil quickly absorbs into the skin
So far I like the PPSO and the way the oil quickly absorbs into the skin. The only issue is that I keep forgetting that I have it in the refrigerator.

Banishes redness
Bought this for my husband to treat redness on his face. It's hard to get him to use products. Started with a sample. I worked, so he asked me to order more. He must really like it. Thanks Garden of Wisdom!

Great for clogged pores
This product works well on my sensitive skin. It has helped clear clogged pores on my nose as well as reduce small bumps that frequently appear on my cheeks. I'll keep this one on hand at all times.

Best lotion ever!
This lotion is the best I’ve ever found! Sinks in beautifully, providing moisture to dry, cracked hands and itchy, flaky legs. After many years of searching for the perfect lotion, I’ve found the one! The aroma is subtly beautiful (sea of blue)- love everything about this product :). Thank you Garden of Wisdom!,

This Is THE Lotion
All the things skin is supposed to do, (like holding in hydration and moisture, shedding naturally, and remaining intact to provide a barrier against the elements) my skin doesn't. What it does do, is react to everything (including my own sweat) as an enemy, and block and inflame random pores as revenge upon me for trying to moisturize so the itching doesn't drive me to madness.
This lotion has been genuinely miraculous. At best, others help one problem but cause another. This one interrupts the cycle, and has actually made my skin healthier. To echo another review, please never stop making this.
