Sweet Essentials products are natural nut oils or contains nut oils. Test all products on your wrist if you are unsure how the product will react to your body's chemical makeup. 

We are not able to accept returns on ingredients (unless we shipped the wrong item to you) because we cannot guarantee the purity of our merchandise or resell it once it has left our warehouse. If you need to make a return, please contact us to receive an authorization. We are not able to offer a refund or exchange on unauthorized returns, and merchandise returned without authorization will be discarded. Authorized returns are subject to a 20% restocking fee.

In the event that we make an error, we will of course gladly authorize the return of incorrect or defective merchandise and pay for the return shipping costs.

Most of our products / ingredients, including butters, oils, essential oils, herbs and hydrosols, come from natural sources. They are subject to a normal range of variations in color, texture and aroma. These variations can be due to seasonal changes such as temperature, rainfall, sunlight and other variables. The differences from batch to batch are normal and are not regarded as defects in the product quality. We cannot accept returns due to these variations because we cannot resell the ingredient once it has left our facility. If you know that product variations may affect your production/formulation, please purchase a small quantity first and confirm that your larger order will be from the same lot.

You should expect to receive your refund within four weeks of giving your package to the return shipper, however, in many cases you will receive a refund more quickly. This time period includes the transit time for us to receive your return from the shipper (5 to 10 business days), the time it takes us to process your return once we receive it (3 to 5 business days), and the time it takes your bank to process our refund request (5 to 10 business days).
