What documentation can you provide for your products?

Please note that the availability of these documents can depend on the origin of the product and the willingness of our individual suppliers to release them, so we cannot guarantee provision in every case.
Regarding additional documentation such as IFRA Statements, GMP Certificates, and Allergen Declarations — these are considerably more difficult to obtain and will only be included where they are available to us. We are unable to guarantee these documents for every product.

Why were some items missing from my order, and will I receive a refund?

In all cases, this will be clearly noted on your invoice. We recommend checking it first, as we may not contact you proactively at the time of dispatch.
