Refund and Return Policy
Last updated: 2025-12-03
At Santa Mia, we craft every product in small batches with care, integrity, and intention. Because our formulations are made with fresh ingredients and are designed for direct skin contact, we must balance safety, hygiene, and fairness for a very small business.
Below is our return and refund policy, written with transparency and respect for both you and our craft.
Returns for Unopened Products
Unopened, unused products may be returned or exchanged within 14 days of delivery or pickup.
To qualify:
-

-
Receipt or proof of purchase required
Refund method:
-
You may choose refund or store credit
-
Refunds are issued to the original method of payment
Shipping/return shipping costs are non-refundable.
Returns for Opened Products
For hygiene and safety reasons, we cannot accept returns on used or opened cosmetics except in the following cases:
