Please fill this contact form or email contact@realnessofbeauty.com with the subject 'Returns' and include your order number, name and the reason for the return. 

Please note that, for reasons of hygiene, to be eligible for a return all items must be unopened, unused, undamaged and accompanied by proof of purchase. All items which are not in a resealable condition will not qualify for refund.

Timing: we have a 14-days Return Policy, since the day the item was received. 

We will provide you with a form you will have to fill out, print and include in your parcel, as well as with instructions on where to send returned goods. Customers are strongly recommended to get proof of postage when returning goods to avoid "lost packages" situations.

If your order qualified for a free gift, it must also be returned before your refund or replacement can be processed.

We will refund any delivery costs you have paid, although, as permitted by law, the maximum refund will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer (provided that this is a common and generally acceptable method). If we offer delivery of a product within 3-5 days at one cost but you choose to have the product delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.

When returned item is received and inspected, you will receive a confirmation email, notifying about the status of the refund. If the refund is approved, then it will be processed and a credit will automatically be applied to the original payment method shortly after. 

Please note that for security reason, we cannot process refund on other payment methods other than the original one. A refund can take up to 14 days to show on your statement from the date of issue. Your bank or credit card company may require additional time to process your refund and for it to reach your account.

We know it may seem like a dream at first: an entire website with only vegan, cruelty-free certified beauty? Yes, you have finally reached the destination! (And with a wide range of options, we must add!) 

All products offered on this website are 100% vegan! We thoroughly select them to make sure that they do not contain any animal-derived ingredients and that they are also cruelty-free certified.

Realness of Beauty was created by a vegan team and aims to make life easier for all people out there who want to shop consciously- without having to go crazy trying to understand what they can and cannot buy.

Although we know that a lot of brands out there do not aim to hurt anyone and try to minimize cruelty on animals whenever possible, claiming to be cruelty-free without a proper certification is not enough. 

Most of the time a brand does not really know whether animal testing is occurring at some stages of the manufacturing. Many third parties may be involved in the process, especially if the brand does not produce itself.

In most cases the supply chain is very long and often involves suppliers of suppliers, where information simply gets lost. This is why it is very difficult for a brand to say with certainty whether or not they are cruelty-free if there is no third party organization investigating and strictly evaluating the whole process. 

Since we are very sensitive about the topic, we only select brands with a reliable certification. This is essential: not every certification out there is trustworthy or has the same strict evaluation standards.

We only pick products certified by the Leaping Bunny, Naturewatch, ICEA or similar, which have a very strict policy brands must comply with and require a fixed cut-off date.

Please, find more information about the topic here.
