Product Tips: Unveil & Care Exfoliant
The product directions state that the exfoliant is mixed with water to form a paste. For an added benefit, in place of water, the exfoliant can be mixed with our Tone & Care Toner instead. At the same time, this will provide the added benefits of the toner. If using the exfoliant as a mask that stays on the skin for up to 10 minutes, the properties of the toner will also be imparted to the skin for that length of time.
If you find this tip helpful, we encourage you to post feedback by rating the products directly through the Skindred Soul site on the exfoliant product page and posting your comments.
Products Tips: Tone and Care Toner
Some of our customers have indicated that they like the functionality of the spray mist 1.0 oz toner provided in the travel packs and in the sample kit you request.
These customers have indicated that they like to refill the small spray mister bottle from the large 5.1 oz toner bottle. In order to prevent product contamination, we don't endorse opening the product containers, however once you purchase these products they are yours and you can do what you wish with them. However if you are careful about how you open the containers, here is what our customers have told us that they do.
Carefully unscrew the pump head of the large airless container by grasping the silver band and untwisting counter-clockwise. Place the pump head on a clean surface (clean paper towel etc.). Unscrew the spray mister pump head by grasping the ridged area of the pump head and unscrewing counter-clockwise. Again, place the spray mister pump head on a clean surface.
Refill the small 1.0 oz spray mister bottle from the larger toner bottle and replace both caps.
VERY IMPORTANT - after replacing the large container pump head, you will have to pump all the remaining air out by depressing the pump a fair amount of times. We are told that this works effectively but may take a short time to get all of the air out of the container. If this is not done, the anti-oxidants can break down due to exposure to air, but this will take a little while to occur.
Please take care not to contaminate your product. We purposely do not offer a spray mister on the large container as the delicate anti- oxidants in the toner are well preserved for longer periods of time by using airless pump containers. Of course, these are your products when you purchase them and you can do what you like with them so we hope that the feedback from other customers is helpful to you.
If you find this tip helpful, we encourage you to post feedback by rating the products directly through the Skindred Soul site on the toner product page and posting your comments.
Product Tips: Energize & Care Serum (Large Container only)
Some of our customers have indicated that the large 1.7 oz Energize and Care Serum container can sometimes not pump effectively. We are aware of this issue and it does not occur frequently. However, we are currently in the process of manufacturing the Serum with an airless container that does not suffer from this occasional problem.
In the mean time, if you do experience this problem with your large serum container, simply turn the container upside down and shake the product toward the pump head (cap end). This will remove any air gap between the product and the pump head and the container will function as intended.
We apologize if this issue occurs with your purchase and we are working diligently to rectify the problem.Until the new container is available, if you are completely unsatisfied with this product due to this issue, we do accept returns. Please follow the instructions in the returns FAQ section of the website and we will be happy to make your purchase experience a positive one.
International Order: Can you ship to a P.O. Box?
Unfortunately, Federal Express does not deliver to PO boxes. If you are placing an order from outside the USA, then shipping via US Post will be a shipping option available and orders can be delivered to PO boxes by this shipping method.
Please see our FAQ "Ordering Internationally: Type of Shipping?" for information about types of shipping offered for international orders.
International Order: Customs duties and taxes
All customs and import duties are applied when your shipment reaches the destination country. Unfortunately, we have no control over these charges and we cannot estimate them due to rate fluctuations according to location. All customs and import fees are solely your responsibility. By instructing Skindred Soul to ship an order you are providing your consent and you are assuming full responsibility for the taxes, duties, or customs/brokerage fees required in your country. If you refuse your package upon delivery and notification of these fees, Skindred Soul will not issue a refund for your purchase or the original shipping cost. Please contact your local customs office for details on how charges will be applied in your area.
International Order: Is there a lesser ship value for duties?
Can you mark my order as a gift or declare a lesser value for it so that I don't have to pay as much duty or tax?
No, we cannot do this. Please note that even if the package is marked as a gift, duties and/or taxes may still be collected at the discretion of your government.
International Order: Shipping outside the USA
Yes, we do ship internationally; however, due to border and/or customs restrictions we currently only ship to certain countries.

Ordering: Wholesaler and retail prices
I am a Wholesaler or Distributor. Why don't the product prices reflect my contract prices when I add them to the cart?
If you have opened a customer account and requested to become either a wholesaler or distributor, your account requires verification to qualify for the appropriate rates. Wholesale and Distributor accounts require that you submit your Federal Employer Identification Number (EIN). We use the EIN to verify that you are a qualified Wholesaler or Distributor and we will not be able activate your account until this information is verified and we have contacted you by phone or in person.
If you wish to speed up the verification process, please contact us by phone at the number in the Contact FAQ to arrange a meeting regarding carrying our products. Until this verification is completed, products will be added to the cart at the retail price only. After your status is verified as either a wholesaler or distributor, the product with the appropriate discount will be show up in the eStore and also when the product is added to the cart. Wholesale and Distributor accounts will also have access to appropriate product pricing, subject to negotiated terms, and additional business information not normally available to retail customers.
Ordering: Why can't I track my order?
Tracking is only available on orders that were placed online and shipped via Federal Express.
Occasionally shipments may be sent via the U.S. Postal Service (all samples are sent by US Post) and at this time, tracking information is not available for these types of shipments. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Ordering: Credit card safety
All order information is processed through secure servers. This security feature scrambles all information before it is sent over the Internet and also makes sure that you are sending it to the correct place. When you enter your credit card information on the order form, the encrypted information is automatically transmitted to a credit card gateway for online credit card approval. Once your credit card is validated, we receive an authorization and process the order.
This process is very similar to when you pay with a credit card in a restaurant or a store. Both of these transactions use standard phone lines, encryption technology, and credit card authorization processes. We are very serious about the security of your information. This is why not only our checkout page is highly secure, but our entire site is highly secure. Many banking websites also secure their entire site. As a result, not only your credit card information, but also your web surfing experience is encrypted throughout your entire visit to our site.
