A product has made me react, can I return it?

All our cosmetics are safe, dermatologically tested and pass all relevant quality and safety controls. Each type of skin is different and sometimes can react differently than expected, but this does not mean that the cosmetic is in poor condition or unsafe.

In these cases, other internal or external factors of the person and totally alien to the cosmetic and its actives can influence, such as the skin's own sensitivity for various causes, the use of other cosmetic products, etc.

Cosmetic products are considered a hygienic product and therefore the return of them is not allowed once opened / unsealed or used, except for manufacturing defect, which is not this case. So it would not be possible to return it.

We recommend that you wait a few days for your skin to return to normal and if you feel like it, you can give the product a second chance. Remember that you can try it on your forearm before to see if that reaction is still occurring.

I have asked for samples and they have not yet arrived. How long will it take?

Sample orders, when sent by ordinary postal mail, usually take between 6 and 12 business days. If within this period since you placed the order, you have not received the envelope with the samples, please contact us through RRSS, chat or info@veraandthebirds.com

Do you have more questions? You can solve all your doubts about the preparation of orders and shipments in our Shipping Info and what to do if you have received your order and you are not completely satisfied with the return policy.

In principle, all products can be used from the age of 3. However, certain cosmetics are not recommended to be used in young children because they can irritate their delicate skin. Contact us at info@veraandthebirds.com for more information.

Are they natural products?

Our products are natural, that is, they are formulated almost entirely with ingredients of natural origin. There is a minimum percentage of unnatural ingredients present in the formula to ensure its stability and sensoriality.

Do your products contain parabens?

No. In our formulas you will not find parabens, mineral oils, silicones and sulfates, among others. Here's why.

There are certain substances that have no place in Vera & the birds because at some point some doubt has loomed over them about their safety (parabens, aluminum salts). This does not mean that they are 'bad' but that we prefer to apply the precautionary principle and not use them.

In other cases we simply do not use certain substances because we always try to use the natural alternative. That is the case with silicones, mineral oils etc. If there is a natural option that fulfills its function wonderfully, why not use it?

My skin is sensitive, can I use your products?

In principle if your skin is sensitive our products will sit great. All our products are dermatologically tested before being put on the market, and the vast majority of them are tested on sensitive skin. In the product sheets we indicate if the product is tested on sensitive skin.

Still, as a precaution, test a small amount on a sensitive area such as the front of your elbow first to see if your skin feels good.

Can I use your products if I have rosacea, atopic skin or any dermatitis?

In case your skin suffers from dermatitis, we always recommend that you consult your dermatologist first.

Are there allergens present in the products?

The products indicated on the label with two asterisks are allergens. These are allergens naturally present in essential oils.

Is Vera & the birds cosmetics vegan?

When do the products expire?

If the product is closed, you will find the expiration date on the packaging. Once the product is opened, you must consume it within a period of six months. In the case of masks, we recommend their use within three months.

What is the PAO?

PAO stands for Period After Opening. On all products it is indicated with a number inside a packaging icon. That number means the months you can use the product in optimal condition after opening it.

We select the best suppliers and manufacturers for each type of product. We currently work with different manufacturers with whom we share our natural philosophy and whose processes are as respectful as possible with the environment.
