Before using a honey mask, it is important to apply a small amount of product on skin to test for sensitivity or allergies as honey is a naturally derived substance from plant nectar and may contain trace amounts of pollen.
Method of Application First, give yourself 10 minutes to enjoy this beautiful, healing and relaxing mask. Apply a thin to medium layer of this mask to your face and neck. Let dry or remove when still moist. Remove product with a soft washcloth and tepid water.
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.

Hyaluronic Acid Hyaluronic acid is a well researched and tested active, known for its ability to hold over 1,000 times its weight in water. This characteristic makes it one of the best hydrators a person can add to their skin care arsenal. Hyaluronic acid also protects skin with a light film barrier, while allowing it to breathe. It causes skin to appear more plump, fills in fine lines, and dries quickly without leaving a sticky residue on the skin.
Leucidal SF is a probiotic based preservative created by the fermentation of Lactobacillus in a defined growth medium. Lactobacillus is one of the species of microorganisms used to produce fermented products such as sauerkraut and kimchi, a Korean dietary staple from cabbage. Like many members of the lactic acid bacteria family. Lactobacillus is capable of restricting the growth of other microorganisms by acidifying its environment. However, in addition to acidifying its environment, Lactobacillus also produces novel antimicrobial peptides, also known as bacteriocins, that are capable of providing broad spectrum antimicrobial protection.
I’m on the fence about my rating for this product. I have dry/combination skin, so finding a clay mask that doesn’t dry my face out is tricky. This mask left me with a glow, and my skin felt soft and healthy. However, the batch I got includes kelp granules (not listed on the website as an ingredient), which are noticeably large and make it difficult to spread the mask without feeling like you are dragging them over your face. The kelp gives the mask a kind of fishy smell that I found off putting. The mask is also very thick and difficult to spread in an even layer. I’ll use the rest of my bottle since the results are good, but I don’t know that I’d reorder it until the kelp is removed.
The Kelp is meant to be in the ingredient list. We will have our web developer update this :)
The Kelp is actually what is helping with the glow, and we are happy to hear that this worked for you. We will work on sourcing a finer size of Kelp :)
Thank you for your feedback as this is how we can improve our formulas and make our customers happy. We will also think the mask out a bit as well.
I wanted to add something different to my cleanser routine. I've typically used either GOW's Skin Friendly (Orange) or Oats, Milk and Honey cleansers. I grabbed a sample of this, and love the texture. It's very creamy and helped out soothing a couple of irritated facial areas. I have sensitive skin and it doesn't a heavy feel. A little goes a long way. Last order I bought 2 full jars. Thank you GOW for making getting me a new favorite.
Hi Evita!
Okay, this made our day! 😊 We're thrilled the Honey Butter Cleanser is your new favorite, especially since you're already a pro with our Skin Friendly and Oats, Milk & Honey cleansers. It sounds like your skin has great taste! We're so glad the creamy texture and gentle feel are a win for your sensitive skin. Thanks for trusting us with your routine (and for going all in with two full jars!).
You officially have excellent cleanser instincts.
With love,
The GoW Team
I have just recently started using this product, yet I can't get over how wonderful it makes my skin feel!! Already, deep lines aren't as deep. My skin feels firmer, yet not in a tight way. It feels plump and very hydrated. I will be back for more. :)
Tina
Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback! We’re absolutely thrilled to hear that you’re already seeing and feeling such positive changes in your skin. That plump, hydrated, comfortable feeling is exactly what we aim for. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and we’ll be here when you're ready for more!
Also, we miss seeing you! Come back to Prescott

I have tried nearly every eye product out there for my morning puffy, dark, aging eyes. This is the only product that 1) clears the dark circles, 2) removes all puffiness, 3) removed all fine lines, 4) is absorbed very quickly, 5) doesn't irritate my eyes, 6) doesn't irritate my skin, nor make it too dry, 7) and does not leave a film. I've been using it for over 6 years now. The only complaint I would have, is that the cap gets a tad gross over time if you don't clean it off. Highly Recommend!
Hi Judith ☺️
thank you so much for this thoughtful review! We’re honored to have earned a spot in your routine for over six years! That means the world to us. It’s wonderful to hear how well 'Pack Your Bags and Say Good Bye Eye Gel' has worked for you, especially given how hard it can be to find an eye product that truly delivers without irritation.
And, thank you for the helpful note about the cap, we appreciate the honest feedback and will keep that in mind.
We’re so grateful for your continued support!

This miracle oil works wonders with my thin, curly hair. Normal Moroccan Oil Treatment weighs my hair down, leaving it looking flat and blah. This Rockin Moroccan Goddess Hair Oil helps my curls to be less frizzy, full of body, shiny and happy. I mix a few drops of this oil with my curl cream and curl gel and apply all at once. And it smells lovely too.
Judith
We're always so happy to hear such positive reviews. It's great for other custojmers to know how nice this oil is. Knowing the Rockin Moroccan Goddess Hair Oil is bringing your curls to life without weighing them down is really cool. It’s wonderful that you’ve found the perfect way to blend it with your curl routine, and we’re thrilled it’s leaving your hair shiny, bouncy, and happy. We also love that you’re enjoying the scent!
Thank you for sharing your experience with us
This is the first copper serum I have ever tried, and loving it already. Just purchased my 2nd bottle. I use this serum along with their Rose Peptide and Tepezcohuite serums. My skin feels “velvety”, looks clearer and smoother. This will be another keeper for me, and I can’t wait to see all of the anti-aging benefits copper peptides are known for!
Kerrie! (she is a lovely local customer)
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're delighted (yep!) that our Copper Peptide Serum is the first you've tried and even more thrilled that it's already earned a place in your routine. Pairing it with the Rose Peptide and Tepezcohuite Serums sounds like a beautiful combination, and we’re so glad your skin is feeling velvety, clear, and smooth. We can’t wait for you to experience the long-term benefits copper peptides are known for.
Thank you for your support, you're the best!
P.S. it's always nice to chat with you.
Skin is like smooth glass... non-invasive... simple and easy.... affordable... great stuff
What can I say? Garden of Wisdom's products are always lovely. This is one of the light, exfoliating products that gives an immediate glow with a finish like smooth glass, without any over-drying (or even any drying) effects).
Even my dentist and hygienist complimented my skin a few weeks ago.
I've been a GoW customer since my late 20s and I'm now 57. My skincare needs have, obviously, changed. However, as my skincare (and haircare) needs change, GoW always gives me what i need, based on what my skin needs.
I cannot do without Markey and Garden of Wisdom. No one will give you the personalized and individualized treatment services, clean products, clean raw ingredients, and custom formulations... Especially at a very affordable cost and fast shipping.
Perfect Pumpkin Exfo 15% Serum

Love the progeline peptide repair serum
I love this serum! I’ve tried many things over the years but this takes the cake!
I am falling in love with the texture of GOW products. This is lightweight and GENTLE formula for mild acne and redness, I am still in the works of finalizing my routine but this is HERE to STAY! Honestly it's impossible to even find a similar product with this good of formulation without the excess ingrinets that can be sneaky and cause problems.

Great Overnight Jumpstart To Hairgrowth
I enjoy using this as an overnight scalp jumpstart to hair growth. It smells lovely and even though a little more heavy than other follicle stimulators, as it is intended to be rinsed out after overnight, it contains high end ingredients of competitor brands plus even better ingredients not found on the market. My scalp feels rejuvinated each use :)
