PRODUCT

Are your products organic?

Our face masks, lip products, shampoo bars, candles, soaps are 100% organic! However, our body polishes aren’t because they contain preservatives. All other products are preservative-free, fragrance-free, and plant-derived.

Do you use preservatives? 

We only use preservatives in body polishes as we find it necessary since this product will be in constant exposure to water or moist environment. 

All other products in our catalog are water-free, therefore a preservative isn’t necessary. However, you will find some care instructions or tips on increasing shelf life written on our product labels.

What’s the shelf life of your products?

Conditioner Bars - 2 years

Shampoo Bars - 2 years

Soap Bars - 2 years

The product I want to purchase is out of stock. What do I do?

Don’t worry! You can add the product to your wish list and you will be the first one to know when it gets back in stock.

I have sensitive skin. Can I use your products?

Our products are naturally great on all skin types because they are made from organic ingredients. Since everyone’s skin varies, please do a patch test first before using the product. 

Can I request to have my order gift-wrapped?

Of course! Please indicate in the ‘notes’ section below your order that you want it wrapped. If you want to include a tag/personal note, you may indicate it in the ‘notes’ section as well.
