Returns & Refunds

Because our products are skincare/consumable and cannot be resold once opened, we do not offer exchanges, returns or refunds for change of mind, including:

• Ordering the wrong item
• Not liking the scent/texture
• Reaction due to personal sensitivity
• Deciding you no longer want the product

Refunds are only offered if:

• The product arrives faulty,
• The product arrives damaged, or
• You receive the incorrect item.

If this happens, please contact us within 7 days of delivery with your:

• Order number
• Description of the issue
• Clear photos of the product and packaging

We will replace the item or issue a refund where appropriate.
