We do not accept responsibility for damage or defect of goods arising from incorrect storage or use by the customer. We accept no liability for loss or consequential damage arising from the goods supplied.

PRODUCT STORAGE

All products are checked carefully before dispatch to the customer. We cannot be held responsible for deterioration of the products due to the customer’s incorrect storage conditions i.e., exposure to direct sunlight, frost, humidity or heat etc. The customer should ensure that the products are kept in cool and dry conditions (bathroom windowsills are often exposed to direct sunlight and so are the creams or products displayed on them), and a clean spatula is used to remove products from the jar (instead of fingers) to minimise the risk of deterioration in the product resulting from external contamination. All liquid products, such as shampoos and shower gels, should be shaken well before use to emulsify the ingredients. Should some oil separation occur in your creams and lotions, please stir the product with a clean spoon or a suitable utensil until the oil has blended into the cream. Oil separation does not affect the qualities of your cream.

Our products are not preserved with chemicals substances such as parabens or phenoxyethanol. All our products have a shelf life of a minimum of 12 months unopened, and 3-4 months from opening. Most products will be usable for longer, however their quality may deteriorate. To avoid disappointment, please start using your products as soon as possible after purchase and keep them away from sun or heat. Please avoid stocking up – just like with fresh food, you are best buying only what you are likely to use within a few months.
