Bare Skin

faq.

My aim is to offer the best skincare based on blending powerful botanicals enhanced with bio-active ingredients.

How Do I Store Your Products?
I recommend storing all our products in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight.  

 

What is the Expiration Date of Your Products?
The shelf life of our products is 12 months, but we generally suggest using any skincare products from Wild Alchemy Botanicals within 9 months of opening. This ensures the freshness and quality of our ingredients. Our skincare line uses natural preservatives. ​

What is your policy on animal testing?
We do not test on animals and do not purchase from suppliers that do.

Who formulates your products?
Our formulations are handmade and produced in small batches, in-house by me to maintain freshness and quality.

 

Can You Recommend Products for My Skin Concerns?
I would love to help! You can submit an email inquiry to Sandra@wildalchemy.online. Let me know what products you’re currently interested in, your primary skin concerns, and your current skincare routine.

 

Can You Send Me Samples?
I send free samples with every purchase. Samples include our hydrosols, serums, oil blends and foot and bath salts. In the future, I will be offering 50ml Intro Skincare Kits so stay tuned.

What is your shipping process?

If you place your order on a business day (Monday – Friday) we’ll process it within 48 hours. Orders made over the weekend or on a public holiday, are processed the following business day.

We ship with New Zealand Post Couriers nationally and internationally, all orders are tracked. Tracked courier prices in New Zealand are $8.00, international shipping prices vary depending on product weight.

Am I eligible for free return shipping?

Unfortunately, we cannot cover return postage fees on all return types, and a return request must be made within 14 days of purchase. Return requests submitted after 14 days of purchase, or items that are Change of Mind or Incorrectly Ordered do not qualify for free return shipping.  

Your submission of personal information through the store is governed by our Privacy Policy. Click to view our Privacy Policy.

"Small batch production has taken off in the last 2-3 years with local businesses taking the lead. From decor and beauty to food brands, we are seeing a huge shift in expectations from consumers as well as brands leading the process. Conscious consumers are moving away from mass-produced, large-scale beauty products to sustainable and eco-friendly makeup brands that operate along ethical lines." - Plain Tiger

BioGro New Zealand Certified Organic Ingredients

I purchase BioGro New Certified Organic ingredients from New Zealand suppliers to formulate with.

 

Look for the single asterisk to identify these ingredients in our product ingredient and benefits page in our Shop.

Eco Cert Organic Cosmetic

Look for the **double asterisk to identify these ingredients in our product ingredient and benefits page in our Shop.

Founded in France in 1991 by a group conscious of the growing need to develop environmentally friendly agriculture and who wanted to offer recognition to those who adhere to best practice production, the ECOCERT body specialises in the certification of organic products for sustainable development.

 

The standard encourages transparency between producers and consumers, as well as inspires confidence in the products with the ECOCERT seal of approval that you see on the shelf.
