At Esse (“Esse,” “we,” “us”), we take pride in the quality and care of our handmade products. Due to the nature of body care items and for hygiene and safety reasons, we maintain a strict and protective return policy.

Eligibility for Returns

We accept returns only under the following circumstances:

Allergies & Skin Sensitivities

Our products are formulated with premium natural ingredients, including avocado oil, which may cause reactions for individuals with specific allergies or sensitivities.
