To be eligible for a return, items must:
- Be unused and unopened
- Be in their original condition
- Include original packaging and tags where applicable
- Be accompanied by proof of purchase or order confirmation
For hygiene and safety reasons, certain personal care and skincare products may not be eligible for return once opened or used.

If your return request is approved, we will provide instructions on how and where to send your item.
Items returned without prior approval may not be accepted.

Please inspect your order upon arrival.
If you receive:
- A damaged item
- A defective product
- An incorrect order
please contact us as soon as possible with:
- Your order number

To qualify:
- Items must remain unused and unopened
- Products must be returned in original packaging

This right does not apply to certain sealed goods which are not suitable for return for hygiene reasons once unsealed.

Once your return has been received and inspected, we will notify you whether your refund has been approved.
If approved:
