Yeah. ORIGIN, our line of High Organic Solid Cosmetic Soaps, is certified by BioInspecta under the BioVidaSana Standard in its highest category, as an “Ecological Cosmetic Product”, with a minimum of 95% ingredients from organic farming.

For what reason can there be slight variations in weight between solid cosmetic soaps?

Yeah. During the drying process, solid cosmetic soaps suffer small weight losses due to evaporation. In addition, the handmade manufacturing process and the design make each soap unique and present slight differences in size and weight between them.

Why can a natural cosmetic have slight variations in aroma, color and texture compared to the last one I bought?

Ashes To Life organic cosmetics are made with natural ingredients of plant origin that depend on each year’s harvest and weather conditions, so there may be slight differences in aroma, color and texture between them.

Ashes To Life products have not been specifically formulated for atopic skin, but we know that many sufferers of this condition get very good results from using them.

Of course!. The high organic cosmetic products that we create from the firm are unisex. We formulate our cosmetics according to the needs of the skin, not sex. Both women and men can benefit from the properties provided by our organic cosmetics by transferring the beauty of nature to their skin.

Yes, you can track your order at any time. Once it leaves our warehouse, you will receive an e-mail notification from our logistics operator with the “Tracking Number of your shipment”, which you can enter on the transport company’s website to see the status of the shipment.

CANCELLATIONS AND RETURNS

Can I cancel my order?

Yes, as long as it has not yet been processed (it is in our warehouse and the logistics operator does not have it). If this is the case, to process the cancellation you must send an e-mail to hola@ashestolife.es clearly indicating your information and order number. If you no longer have time to cancel your order, you can return it.

Can I return my order?

Think responsibly. Ashes To Life accepts returns within the first 15 days from the customer’s receipt of the merchandise, but we are more in favor of getting it right the first time.

The return process implies a long process that takes us away from our main objective: taking care of the planet.

Repackaging and reshipping (higher gas emissions) are just some of the downsides of the process, and they prevent us from being as sustainable as we’d like. So before you order an eco-friendly cosmetic product or accessory from Ashes To Life, think twice.

In order to make a return, the products must not have been manipulated or used. They must be in perfect condition, including accessories, documentation and original packaging. In this case, the transport costs originated from the return will be borne by the customer.

Once the merchandise is received in our warehouses, and after checking its status, the amount will be refunded according to the method of payment made by the customer. This process can take between 7 and 10 days once the order has arrived at the warehouse.

Can I exchange any item for another?

No, changes are not allowed. You must request a return and proceed to the purchase again.
