We strive to provide accurate descriptions and images of our products. However, because our soaps are handmade in small batches, slight variations in color, size, weight, and design may occur. All ingredients are clearly listed on our product pages. It is the customer's responsibility to review these ingredients for any potential allergies or sensitivities prior to purchase.
3. Medical Disclaimer
The products and information provided by Bare & Better are for informational and personal care purposes only.

Once your order is handed over to USPS, the risk of loss and title for the items pass to you. We are not responsible for delays caused by the carrier.
6. Returns and Refunds
