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.

Hydrolyzed Keratin comprising an extensive part of our hair are the living cells keratinocytes, which produce keratin. When the outer layer of keratin is damaged, the hair becomes weak, flaky and unhealthy. Along with environmental pollutants, the use of coloring, bleaching, drying, curling, and ironing the hair will cause damage. Hydrolyzed keratin was found to have almost the same amino acids profile found on the human hair. This allows immediate replacement of cystine. During this mending stage the occurrence of dryness and split ends are reduced significantly. Since keratin is the strongest type of protein for your hair, this process allows your hair to become healthier, stronger, fuller and thicker.
Smoothing Serum Base(Cyclopentasiloxane (and) Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer), imparts a silky emollience to the hair

After sustaining a LOT of damage from the lockdowns (stress), and then getting ready to sell our house and move, and then finally staying in an AirBnB for a month while our new house was being finished where the water was brutal, my hair was a damaged, nasty mess. Loving My Silky Hair Serum is perfect for my hair. Not too heavy in the summer, and still emollient in the winter. And it smells soooooooo good! I love this product.
Jamie ✨✨✨✨✨
Wow, it sounds like your hair has been on quite the rollercoaster ride! From the stress of lockdowns to the unpredictability of AirBnB water, (hahahaha I remember your story and the other guests) your locks have truly earned a medal for bravery! ️ But fear not, our Loving My Silky Hair Serum has swooped in like a superhero to save the day (and your hair)! Not too heavy in the summer yet still ready to battle winter dryness, what a versatile little miracle worker! And the smell? It's practically a hair perfume at this point! Here’s to silky strands and less “bad hair days!”
Keep rocking that luscious mane! I always need to give some love to horses.
You are always an inspiration. Markey
I love this hand cream! I especially love that it has zero fragrance. It works great for me. Thank you!!!

Love the size and scent
I'm researching on updating my cleanser routine as periodically skin needs change. I bought a sample and have used 2-3 times. This cleanser foams once applied on wet skin. The pumpkin scent is not overpowering and my face feels soft. The sample size gives one plenty to determine if its right for you. I'll use it to change up my routine over the winter months.

Wonderful, gentle serum for acne
I absolutely love GoW's Salicylic Acid 2% (Alcohol Free) serum. On my skin, it prevents/reduces acne in the gentlest way possible - it's calming, moisturizing, and reduces redness, all while keeping my pores clearer.

Well…first off
Well…first off, I need to confess I did not pay attention and I have been using this on my face. Just a drop but it’s been really great! In the winter my skin is so dry and needs an oil and this is what I had so…I used it. No complaints, it did the job and my skin is really clear and hydrated. I will have to get the face version and use this for my body but I do really like it!

I’ve never used oil based cleanser before; I was hesitant to try it because I have combination skin
I’ve never used oil based cleanser before; I was hesitant to try it because I have combination skin. My T zone does feel a bit oily when I’m done using this product but before long that diminishes. So for winter weather, this product has been fine - will have to see how it goes once the hot, humid weather returns

The results are INCREDIBLE
I’ve tried so many eye creams and serums over the years and nothing has come close to Beautiful Eyes Serum w/Regu-age! The skin around my eyes is extremely sensitive and I’ve had reactions to most products—ranging from burning and irritation to clogged pores and increased milia. This serum has caused zero side effects and is very soothing to my sensitive skin. That alone would have been enough to keep me coming back for more… but the results have been ASTOUNDING!!!
Beautiful Eyes has truly taken years off of my appearance! My eyes look larger than they have in years because the product does such an incredible job tightening the skin on my eyelids! I’ve also seen a DRASTIC reduction in the lines underneath my eyes and my crows feet are nearly non-existent when I’m not smiling. I’m blown away!!
Every time I get complimented on my youthful appearance, I always recommend Garden of Wisdom and this magical serum. Thank you, Markey, for crafting the cleanest, most effective products on the market! I’ll be a customer for life!!!

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!
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.

Magical for my whole body!
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.
I love this hand cream! I especially love that it has zero fragrance. It works great for me. Thank you!!!
Hi there 😉
Thank you so much for sharing this. We’re really glad the sample worked so well for you.
Formulating a hand cream without added fragrance was a very intentional choice, so it’s meaningful to hear that it supported your skin as you hoped it would.
Sometimes, simple and quiet is exactly what hands need.
Thank you for taking the time to let us know.
Warmly, Your Team @ Garden of Wisdom

Hi, Evita
Thank you for sharing this. We’re so glad you took the time to explore a sample and pay attention to what your skin needs as the seasons change.
It’s lovely to hear that the pumpkin scent felt gentle and not overpowering, and that your skin felt soft after cleansing. Samples are meant to give you space to decide what feels right, so it’s reassuring to know it supported you in that way.
Thank you for including Garden of Wisdom in your seasonal routine.
Warmly,

Hi there! We're glad to hear that you gave our Blemish Prone Cleansing Oil a chance, even though you were hesitant at first. We understand that combination skin can be tricky to manage, especially with oil-based products. We're happy to hear that the oiliness has diminished after using the product and that it has been fine for you during the winter weather.
We recommend continuing to use it and monitoring its performance during the hot and humid weather.
Thank you for trying our product.
Welcome to the GoW Family ☺️
