Another notice, but an important one
Giuseppe de Caria does not offer refunds or returns, and here's why: The formulations are hand-blended and bottled-to-order. And as independent brand that's self-funded, I've heavily invested in the development and in the quality of my products, procuring high-grade raw ingredients and materials, and since everything is produced in house everything is priced for long-term sustainability of my company, for the artists, photographers, partners that I collaborate with on projects, and for the retailers that showcase my products. So that we can all remain in business for a very long time. That said, feel welcome to reach out with any questions about a product before making a purchase via email at gdc@giuseppedecaria.com.
The formal policy begins below

I do offer a refund or replacement only if the product is deemed defective or damaged by yours truly, Giuseppe de Caria. I will notify you of the approval or rejection of your refund via email.
If you are approved, then your refund will be processed, and a credit will automatically be applied to your credit card or original method of payment within several business days
