Welcome to the family of the Garden of Wisdom!
Welcome to the Garden of Wisdom! A cozy place to get information or suggestions about our extensive line of finished skincare products. We can also offer information about our raw ingredients to use in your own formulations. We encourage sharing, relaxing, humor and above all a safe, friendly environment.
We will address questions as quickly as possible. We try to get to questions
as soon as we can, although sometimes there will be delays.
We ask for your patience in this matter.
Please feel free to answer questions as they arise!
This is a community that we plan to nurture and
watch grow which includes all of our thoughts!
We discourage arguing, drama, any religious bickering, spam,
or abuse of any group member. This won't be tolerated.
We only have a few 'absolutes'...

have heard or accurate compared to your own
knowledge base, let's discuss it!
We DO NOT subscribe to a "know-it-all" forum.

when we are wrong! *grins*
