Due to the nature of these bath and body products, I cannot accept returns or exchanges. 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!). Please ask me any questions before purchase. I understand that purchasing scents without sampling is tricky, but I do try my best to give descriptions based on MY NOSE. If you smell something different, it's understandable as scent is subjective. With that being said - please be aware and understand that no returns or exchanges are possible.

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.

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.

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 or exchanges for lost or damaged items as I am not in control of shipping, 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.

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.

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.

At this time I do not take orders for customized blends and some flavors or fragrances may not be available at all times as I work in small batches and I may discontinue certain scents or flavors.

Please contact me if you are interested in wholesale pricing via e-mail: ripeshop at gmail dot com

Consignment or private label is not available.

Fragrance samples are no longer available as of August 2013. I have tried to be as thorough as possible in my scent descriptions (with the understanding that fragrances will differ on every individual), so if you have any questions regarding any particular fragrance or fragrances before ordering, please contact me and I will be happy to help.

A note on lip balm expiration dates. They apply for after opening a sealed lip balm. They can last at that point anywhere from 1 to 2+ years after being opened and exposed to the elements. Some general tips on prolonging the life of your lip balms:

⊿ Keep them in a cool, dry place
⊿ Keep them out of direct sunlight
⊿ Replace the cap after every use
⊿ Open one lip balm at a time
⊿ Only open the product when you are ready to use it
