Soothing Cleansing Gel is a gentle surfactant and 100% Soap-FREE cleanser. This is an all-around soothing cleanser suitable for all skin types. We wanted to offer a cleanser free of surfactants, soaps, and solvents. Soapnut herb and yucca herbal hydrosol will gently cleanse your skin, while wild cherry bark hydrosol and marshmallow root infusions help soothe your skin. *Due to this product using our fermented preservative Leucidal SF, it can continue to ferment, which lends itself to a fermentation scent. This won't always be present if a batch has just been made. If this is an issue, please ask us to scent it.
Method of Application Dispense about a dime to a nickel-sized amount of cleanser into the palm of your hand. Drip warm or hot water into your palm, then rub your hands together to emulsify. Pat into skin, wipe off gently with a wet, warm cotton or bamboo clean washcloth. Do not massage into your skin. Only cleanse in the A.M. if necessary
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.

Best cleanser for PD!
The only cleanser that really calmed my perioral dermatitis. So gentle and works so well. I think I’m on my third bottle and don’t see myself changing from this cleanser!
Cortney,
Wow ~ thank you! We’re so happy to hear this cleanser has been a game-changer for your perioral dermatitis. Calming and gentle is exactly what we were going for, so it means the world to know it’s making a difference. Third bottle in? That’s the ultimate compliment! 😊 We’re honored to be part of your routine.
Thank you, again, for your beautiful review.

This is a good product, and I'd recommend it for sensitive skin and people who don't wear any makeup.
Hi Natalie! Thank you for the kind review. We appreciate this.

A Nice and Gentle Cleanser for Sensitive/Sensitized Complexions
This is a pleasant, oh so delightfully natural product which I recently purchased to sometimes alternate with pure aloe vera gel (inner fillet) for cleansing my face. It leaves the skin soft and, indeed, clean. Rather than wipe this product off, I instead opt to rinse it off with tepid water before gently patting my skin dry with a clean muslin square. I don't wear makeup and prefer to wear a 50 SPF hat (sometimes plus organic raspberry seed oil) in lieu of sunscreen. Thus, removing these things is not an issue for me so some kind of gentle cleanser plus water is all I require.
We really appreciate you reviewing this product and that you are finding it to work well for you! Thank you :)

Favorite cleanser
So gentle and soothing. Love it.
Thank you for the review.
We agree 100%. It's difficult but getting easier for customers to find
a gentle cleanser without all the fillers in them.
Markey :-D
I have never been able to use vitamin C of any kind on my face. Not sure what the difference is here but this one works great and doesn't bother me at all! I think it's helping even out my skin tone but I've only been using it maybe a month so far and in my experience you have to give things at least three months to really see results. But so far so good!

Seeing Results!
I got the 10 ml. size to sample the product and see if it does what it claims. My skin seems to like products with niacinamide in them so I thought it couldn't hurt to try TXA+Z. I'm happy to say that I'm beginning to see results regarding fading of stubborn after-blemish hyperpigmentation on my face and, while I use other products for this purpose as well, I think the TXA+Z is doing most of the heavy lifting at this point. I like the feel of this serum and have been using it in the morning. I'm back to get the 1 oz. size before I run out.
This product is amazing. My skin looks and feels better after only a couple of weeks. I am pleased. Thank you Mother Earth for the gifts Garden of Wisdom uses from you. Thank you Garden of Wisdom for using these gifts for our benefit. Blessings to all of you

I need this!
As I’ve hit my 60s, the bags under my eyes are really getting bad. So so happy to have this incredible serum to help. I’m definitely noticing a difference.
Cellular Eye Complex - Age Defying Hydration for Delicate Skin
This serum has really reduced my redness! It's especially helpful any time my skin is freaking out - it seems to reduce the time it takes for breakouts to heal. The hydration and consistency are exactly what I needed as an extra step between my hydrating toner and moisturizer. Also, a friend I was catching up with actually commented on my "glow" - I thought that was only something that happened to people with naturally good skin.
Hi Katie,
What a wonderful review, thank you! We love hearing how you’re using the Calming Moisture Serum between toner and moisturizer, and even more that it’s helping calm redness and speed up healing when your skin acts up.
That “glow” compliment from your friend is the best feedback of all. Proof your skin is really happy.
Warmly,
The Garden of Wisdom Team ❤️
This cream is really helping to balance my combination dehydrated skin. I'm using the lighter version. It doesn't seem to be clogging my pores or causing any breakouts, which I can't say for many other moisturizers. It's a strong contender for a permanent spot in my routine.
Thank You, Katie 😊❣️
So glad the Chamomile Cream is keeping your skin balanced and breakout-free, that’s the best outcome we could hope for!
Your GoW Team
I have very red and easily irritated skin. This product annihilates the redness overnight. I had been really struggling to find something that helped and this was the only thing that did. It didn't irritate my skin in any way when applied. If there's a moisturizer to match in the future, I volunteer as the guinea pig lol. Thank you for a wonderful product.
Hi Jen!
Thank you for taking the time to write this review. The Tepezcohuite Calming & Brightening Complex has become popular, and for the same reasons, it has helped your skin. We are so happy for you!

I have very sensitive acne prone skin so I dont often try new things, especially masks that can be harsh. This left my skin soft and hydrated, it tingled slightly but left no redness.
Hi Jenn
Thank you for sharing your experience with our Sulfur Clearing Mask. We are pleased to hear that it worked well for your sensitive skin and left it feeling soft and hydrated. We understand the importance of using gentle products for acne-prone skin and we're glad to know this mask did not cause any redness. Thank you for giving our product a chance and we hope it continues to meet your expectations.
Have a beautiful day,
Markey
Smells divine and glides across the skin! Delicious!
Ann,
What a perfect way to describe this product.
Keep us updated with your results? It's always nice to know when products do and even when they don't give the expected results.
