Hydration. Hydrating. Hydrate. What do these really mean? Hydration is replacing water back into the skin also known as TWL or transepidermal water loss. Hydration loss is usually although not always caused by evaporation. When our skin becomes dehydrated we will start noticing tightness of the skin and a more noticeable gathering of fine lines and wrinkles. Also, using harsh ingredients or products for an extended period of time will contribute to dry, irritated, dehydrated, and generally unhappy skin. So, hydrate from the inside out as much as possible and spritz your skin all day long if needed. Garden of Wisdom offers a plethora of hydrating methods.
This product was designed for a customer that wanted an amped-up version of the Yarrow Hydrosol which we often do suggest for our Rosacea and Sensitive Skin Customers. Allantoin and Aloe Juice further calm the skin.
Method of Application Spritz this hydrating mist on your face, neck and decollette area after cleansing your skin and throughout the day as desired.
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 is not necessary, but it surely 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.
Allantoin Powder relieves dry, itchy, irritated skin, believed to heal skin by promoting new tissue growth
Leucidal SF Leucidal® Liquid SF is a probiotic based ingredient created by the fermentation of Lactobacillus in a defined growth medium. It is ideal for use in skin conditioning and antimicrobial cosmetic applications. This preservative is very gentle and does not contain parabens or formaldehyde releasers.
I’ve been using this spray for years. It calms irritation and hydrates without clogging pores. The ingredients are amazing and I love how there are no unnecessary ingredients added.
Thank you so much for your review! We're so glad this has been a mainstay for so long!

Soothing and reliable
I can rely on my dry, dehydrated, somewhat sensitive skin not to react to this product. It is soothing and gentle. I don't remember it having any, or much of any, scent. I've been out of it for awhile but I plan to repurchase this one to use as a toner.
We're so glad that your skin likes this product! Thank you :)

I'll keep using this one
Updated review:
Been using Yarrow Blossom Healing and Hydrating Mist since July. I've tried a few GOW mists and all have been great. But when I found Yarrow Blossom, I was hooked and quickly graduated from the one ounce size to the sixteen ounce size. My dermatologist, said that my rosacea has improved to the point that she barely detected any redness. Plan to keep using Yarrow Blossom Healing and Hydrating Mist as part of my Garden of Wisdom skin care routine.
Thank you so much for updating your review! We are so glad that they are working!

Soothing and refreshing
This was recommended to me by GoW along with a few other products to help with my inflamed rosacea skin. I have always loved it. I've experimented with some others but for some reason this is the one that my skin loves the most. When it fits, it fits and GoW's instincts were spot on with this one. It makes my skin feel calm and refreshed. Whenever I use it, I feel a resounding "YES". :)
So glad you are loving this! Thank you for the review :)
