From product formulation to growing botanicals in our garden to mixing ingredients and hand-labeling every jar, we do it all in our home-based studio in Nova Scotia’s Annapolis Valley.

Every product is made fresh with care and is completely free from synthetic fragrance, dyes, parabens, sulfates, and other harsh additives that irritate skin and compromise wellbeing.

Our home based retail shop is located on our property at 99 Dow Road in New Minas, Nova Scotia

We’re confident you’ll see a glow—and feel it too. But if you’re not happy, neither are we.

This business was built on a deep passion for skin health and a desire to make a positive impact. We’re truly grateful every time you choose to spend your hard-earned money on our handcrafted products, and we want you to love them just as much as we do.

If you don’t see an improvement in your skin’s health, radiance, or vitality within 30 days, we’ll gladly offer a full refund or a product replacement—your choice.

To be eligible, we just ask for a few things:

Give it 30 days – That’s the minimum time it takes for your skin to complete a renewal cycle and for visible results to start to appear (4-6 weeks). Make sure the product is used consistently and as directed to ensure best results possible.

✔️ Review ingredients before purchase: Customers are responsible for reviewing ingredient lists and ensuring products are suitable for their personal needs. We cannot offer refunds for reactions related to known or disclosed allergens or sensitivities.

✔️ Give it time: Please allow 28 days of consistent use, as this is the minimum  time needed for skin cell turnover and visible results.

✔️ Use as directed: Products must be used according to the instructions on the label.

✔️ No more than half used: No more than approximately 50% of the product should be used to qualify for a return or replacement.

✔️ Product return required: You may return the product by mail or drop it off in person (if local). If a replacement requires shipping, the customer is responsible but we offer $10 flat rate to keep it affordable - we pay the rest.

✔️ Return the product – You’re welcome to drop it off in person (if local), or return it by mail. Customers are responsible for the cost of return mail but we offer a $10.00 flat rate to help keep it affordable.

Choose from:

• A) A full product price refund to your method of purchase
• B) A store credit for the value of the product (sent as either a discount code or virtual gift card for future use)
• C) Choose a similar product as a replacement (if product cost is different you can pay the additional amount or we will refund the difference)

Shipping to the United States 🇺🇸

At the moment, we’re not shipping to the United States. Recent changes to U.S. import rules (known as the de minimis rules) mean that small Canadian businesses like ours can no longer send packages across the border without extra fees and complicated requirements. On top of this, the flat shipping rates we’re able to offer are very high — often more than the value of the order itself.

We’re actively looking into better solutions and will reopen U.S. shipping as soon as it becomes fair and affordable for our customers. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding!

• We ship to the U.S. using trusted carriers such as USPS, UPS, FedEx, and others through Shopify’s discounted shipping services. The most efficient and cost-effective carrier is selected at the time your order is fulfilled, based on your location and the package size.
• All U.S. orders include tracking, unless you choose an untracked shipping method at checkout (such as Small Packet USA Air) ** see below
• Please allow 5–10 business days for delivery after your order has been shipped. Delivery times may vary slightly based on your location and the shipping method selected.

Shipping rates (USD):

• $10 USD flat rate on orders between $75–$139.99 USD
• Free shipping on orders $140+ USD
• Orders under $75 are charged a standard calculated shipping rate at checkout

**Note on Untracked ShippingSome lower-cost shipping methods available at checkout do not include tracking or insurance. If you choose an untracked option, Verv Skin is not responsible for lost, delayed, or unconfirmed deliveries. For peace of mind, we always recommend selecting a tracked shipping method.

Please also note: U.S. customers are responsible for any customs duties, taxes, or import fees that may apply at the time of delivery.
