Mandelic 2% Acid Tonic
We at Garden of Wisdom, have had so many customers ask us to consider making a Mandelic Acid Tonic so we decided to create one. This Mandelic 2% Acid Tonic is gentle enough to use once a day. If this causes a sting for too long please rinse off and work your way up to a daily application (if needed). Allowing your skin a day off during the week is always a good idea. Skin needs a rest too.
Method of Application
Spritz once daily after cleansing and before hydrating or conditioning. It is always a good idea to let the skin rest for a day or two each week.
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 alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents (properties) from each herbs - root, trunk, leaves, and flowers. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be kept in the refrigerator or a dark place.
Other Raw Ingredients - i.e., Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc.
will all have a different shelf life.

Spring Water soothing

Mandelic Acid 2%
Pyruvic Acid stimulates collagen production, smoothes skin texture, lessens fine wrinkles, antiseptic properties, smoothes skin texture, lessens fine wrinkles, antiseptic properties
This is surprisingly gentle. It really helps with acne and gives a lot of the same benefits of glycolic acid without side effects. I pretty much only use this and willow bark extract as actives, retinol and glycolic work but it's hard to get it right for sensitive skin. Helps with keratosis pilaris too.
Thank you for the review!
This toner is super effective and gentle even on sensitive and reactive skin as mine, plays really well with lighten and brighten amped up serum, thank so much for such a wonderful product
Thank you! We are glad you are loving this :)
