3. Products
3.1 Small-Batch Nature
Our products are made by hand in small quantities. Slight variations in
colour, texture, or scent between batches are a natural consequence of
this process and do not constitute a defect.
3.2 Availability
We do not maintain large stock. Products may become temporarily or
permanently unavailable. If a product you have ordered is no longer
available after your purchase, we will notify you and offer a full refund.
3.3 Product Descriptions
We describe our products honestly. We do not make medical claims.
Our formulas are designed to support the skin, not to treat, diagnose,
or cure any condition. If you have a skin condition or medical concern,
please consult a qualified practitioner before use.
4. Orders & Payment
4.1 Placing an Order
An order is confirmed once you receive a written confirmation from us
by email. Until that point, no contract exists between us.
4.2 Pricing
All prices are shown in the currency relevant to your region and include
applicable taxes where required. We reserve the right to adjust pricing
at any time. Adjustments will not affect confirmed orders.

your payment details. Accepted methods are shown at checkout.
4.4 Order Amendments & Cancellations
If you need to amend or cancel an order, contact us at
