The Johannesburg store at 44 Stanley will be closed from 24 December 2023 to 6 January 2024. Our last day open is 23 December, closing at 16:00.

 

We endeavour to dispatch all orders within 48 hours of receipt of payment, excluding pre-orders (such as The Glow Box) and during sale periods. Orders placed over the weekend will be shipped the following week. We ship throughout South Africa using express courier delivery (via The Courier Guy), though deliveries to outlying areas may take a day or two longer to arrive.

Orders below R1000 are charged a flat rate shipping fee of R90 for door to door courier shipping. Shipping usually takes 1 - 3 business days for main centres, and 3 - 5 business days for outlying areas.

Orders above R1000 will receive free courier shipping.

Please be sure to provide us with a daytime address where someone will be available to receive your parcel between 08h00 and 17h00. Our couriers do not deliver on weekends or public holidays - orders dispatched on Fridays will be delivered the following weekday, excluding public holidays.

Please note that we cannot issue refunds if you do not like a product after using it, or if you have an allergic reaction to it. Unfortunately anyone can be sensitive to anything, and as such we endeavour to list all ingredients on the website, publish both positive and negative product reviews, and encourage you to check these and order travel sizes where possible if you are prone to reactions to skincare products.
