    Ripe for the picking.

    My name is Adriana and I make bath and body products that evoke a sense of being ripe for the picking.

    Inspiration comes from the idea of something being just right for the picking - fruits, herbals, essentials, nature, pleasant smells, the unexpected and in some cases a line from a book (I am also a full time librarian). Everything I make from my 75+ year old home studio is made with ingredients sourced from American companies, including a few Etsy shops (the only exception being a small selection of hard to find oils which I source from a wonderful company in Australia). I am self-taught and I research EVERYTHING before I begin. I guess you could say I'm a bit of a perfectionist and I have been told that I have an eye for the details (I did study and get certified in interior design in a former life).

    I make, assemble, label, wrap, ship, and market all of my products and I develop new product, design my own packaging, and do my own product photography. All of my products are handmade by me in small batches, with mainly natural, high quality body-safe ingredients, no unnecessary preservatives, no dyes, no phthalates, and no animal testing. If a product is vegan (which means no animal products, including beeswax), I have noted it as such and many of my products are completely 100% natural.

    I believe that if you have a vision and the drive to see it through, you will be surprised at how much you can accomplish. It is hard work, but the work becomes an essential part of your life.

      I'm just a girl who loves vintage, a good cocktail, and a bouncing trance song. In my life outside of Etsy I am a librarian and I am an avid reader. I hope you find something you love in my ripe shop!

    Hello and welcome.

    ripe products are handmade in small batches by me, with mainly natural, high quality body-safe ingredients, no unnecessary preservatives, no dyes, no phthalates, and no animal testing. The flavor oils contained in the lip balms are not meant to be tasted and are without sweeteners (which means less licking of your lips and less chances of encouraging chapped lips).

    ripe products containing fragrance oils are made with high quality, body-safe, phthalate-free fine fragrance oils that are either natural or a mix of synthetic and natural, so they will irritate you if you are sensitive to fragrance. If a product is vegan (which means no animal products, including beeswax) or all natural (completely free of synthetics) I have noted it as such.

    Returns and exchanges
    Due to the nature of these products, I cannot accept returns. Please be aware that a fragrance or flavor scent may differ in smell according to each individual, especially with varying pH levels on the skin and descriptions are merely there to give you an idea of what an item may smell of (everyone's olfactory perception is different!).

    A one-time exchange or return is possible for perfume oils only. The bottle must be unopened with the shrink wrap intact. Once I receive the item I will exchange it for another perfume oil of the same price or take it back and refund the purchase price minus a re-stocking fee. Buyer is responsible for both return shipping and exchange shipping costs and in all cases shipping charges are non-refundable.

    Batches of products will often vary from batch to batch because of their handmade nature. If you have any problem whatsoever with your order, please contact me and I will work with you to make it right, as again, your satisfaction is of utmost importance to me.
    Payment
    Payment can be made using either Etsy's Direct Checkout using a credit card or Paypal. California residents will be charged state sales tax on all purchases.

    You can use Paypal without creating an account, simply follow the check out process as a guest. Read more about using Paypal as your payment method here: https://help.etsy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000104828-Paying-via-PayPal

    Please note that if payment has not cleared in 48 hours, I will re-list the items and/or cancel the transaction.

    Shipping
    I ship items via USPS mail with tracking approximately two to three times per week. In most cases your order will ship 3 to 5 business days after it was placed and you will receive shipping notification when I print your shipping label. Made to order items will ship 5 to 7 business days after ordering.

    Shipping usually takes 3 to 5 business days when shipping to the United States, and the time frame can be from 1 to 2 weeks or more for international orders.

    Your purchase will ship to the address you specify at the time of check out on Etsy, please make sure it is correct.

    I do not offer refunds for lost or damaged items in most cases, but please contact me as soon as possible if something does arrive damaged or does not arrive. Take pictures of any damaged items and send them to me within 24 hours of receipt as your satisfaction is of utmost importance to me.

    International Buyers:
    If you are in a country that is not listed for available shipment, please contact me.

    At this time I am unable to ship to Mexico or the Ukraine and I will cancel any orders shipping to those countries. Sorry for the inconvenience.

    Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to purchasing. For further information on U.S. Customs Codes, please refer to 19 USC § 1592 - PENALTIES FOR FRAUD, GROSS NEGLIGENCE, AND NEGLIGENCE:

    I use as little packaging materials as possible and I do re-use packing materials when I can. The mailer your order comes in is recyclable and the muslin bag can be re-used as a sachet or for storage of small items. Also, all of my product containers are recycle friendly.
    Additional policies and FAQs
