Goods must be returned in the original packaging or, if not available, protective packaging must be used. We do not accept returns of liquid-based products, hand wash, hand lotion or wicks due to the nature of these products and the fact that they can be tampered with. Refunds for opened bottles are limited to a partial refund, as full refunds can only be issued for unopened products. Please try our sample sizes of these products first to make sure you are happy with the performance.

Goods damaged in transit will be refunded or replaced at our discretion. We will attempt wherever possible to replace broken items, but in the case of glass, which is both fragile and heavy, we may choose to provide a refund instead or ship a replacement with a future order.

Please be advised that our jars are only available for purchase in packs of six. Consequently, we can only offer a refund for the damaged items.
