Garden of Wisdom's Cherry Fruit Hyaluronic Acid Serum is great for all skin types, especially rosacea and sensitive skin types. Boasting (at most) 13.5 nanograms of Melatonin per gram, cherries contain miraculous antioxidant capabilities. Melatonin is a naturally occurring free radical scavenger that is water- and fat-soluble, meaning it can enter aqueous and lipid parts of a cell. As a natural anti-inflammatory, cherries help to soothe irritated and swollen skin. Great for all skin types, especially rosacea and sensitive skin types.
Hyaluronic Acid's remarkable prowess in retaining moisture makes it a highly sought-after ingredient in skincare. Its ability to hold such a significant amount of water helps to keep the skin hydrated, resulting in a more youthful and supple appearance. Additionally, its lightweight texture allows the skin to breathe, while its moisturizing properties help to plump up the skin and diminish the appearance of fine lines. It dries quickly without leaving a sticky residue, enhancing its appeal and making it an ideal choice for various skincare formulations.
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.
