The Considered Jar Return Program

A considered formula deserves an equally considered approach to its packaging.

Return three eligible jars for a $3 credit toward a future purchase.

What is this program?

The Considered Jar Return Program gives Formulosophy customers a simple way to return eligible packaging directly to us. For every complete set of three qualifying jars returned, you will receive a $3 credit toward a future Formulosophy purchase.

Complimentary return shipping is provided for eligible, authorized returns.

How the program works
  1. Collect three eligible Formulosophy jars and their required components.
  2. Empty, clean and dry the components as described below.
  3. Contact Formulosophy with a photo of the collected jars and to request an authorized return.
  4. We will provide a prepaid shipping label.
  5. Package the components securely and send them using the return method provided. To minimize additional packaging, we recommend reusing the 6 × 4-inch shipping box received with one of your Formulosophy orders, provided it remains sturdy and suitable for shipping.
  6. After the return has been received and verified, we will email you a single-use $3 credit code for a future purchase.

Each complete set of three eligible jars earns one $3 credit.

What to return
  • Three original 100 g Formulosophy black-glass jars;
  • The three corresponding black lids; and
  • The three corresponding white protective inner inserts.

All three components from each jar must be included for the jar to count toward an eligible set.

Labels may remain attached to the jars.

Only original Formulosophy packaging is eligible for the program. Packaging from another brand cannot be accepted.

Preparing your jars

Before returning the components:

  • Empty each jar as thoroughly as reasonably possible;
  • Wipe the jars, lids and white protective inner inserts clean;
  • Ensure all components are completely dry;
  • Place each white protective insert inside its corresponding lid;
  • Secure the lids onto the jars; and
  • Check that the components are safely intact.
  • Do not return glass that is cracked, chipped, broken or otherwise unsafe to handle or ship. Place such items into the recycling bin.

The jars do not need to appear unused. Small amounts of residual product or ordinary signs of use will not prevent eligibility, provided the components have been reasonably emptied, wiped clean and dried.

Requesting a return

Jar returns must be authorized before they are shipped.

To request a return, email [email protected] using the subject line:

CONSIDERED JAR RETURN #[most recent receipt number]

In your message, include:

  • Your full name;
  • The email address associated with your Formulosophy purchase;
  • Your most recent Formulosophy receipt number; and
  • A photo of the three jars, lids, and inserts you would like to return with the lids and inserts off but in the frame of the photo.

We will confirm the return instructions and provide the appropriate prepaid shipping label.

You do not need to place a written order number inside the parcel unless the return instructions specifically ask you to do so. The authorized return and its tracking information will be used to identify the shipment.

Complimentary return shipping

Formulosophy provides prepaid return shipping for each authorized, eligible set of three jars.

The return must be sent using the prepaid label and return method provided by Formulosophy. Shipping costs incurred through another method will not be reimbursed unless Formulosophy agreed to that method in advance.

Please package the glass jars carefully to prevent movement or breakage during transportation. Detailed packing and drop-off instructions will be provided with the prepaid return label.

Receiving your credit

After the returned components have been received and verified, Formulosophy will email you a single-use $3 credit code for each eligible set of three jars.

The credit may be applied toward a future Formulosophy product purchase through a checkout that accepts promotion codes.

Please allow a reasonable period after delivery of the return for the components to be inspected and the credit to be issued.

If a return is incomplete, unsafe or otherwise ineligible, we will contact you using the email address provided with the return request.

Using your credit

Considered Jar Return credits:

  • Do not expire;
  • Are single-use;
  • Have no cash value;
  • Cannot be applied retroactively to an order already placed;
  • Cannot be exchanged for cash;
  • May be retained until you are ready to use them; and
  • May be subject to the product availability and purchasing conditions in effect when redeemed.

You may hold more than one unused Considered Jar Return credit. However, only one Considered Jar Return credit may be redeemed per order.

A Considered Jar Return credit cannot be combined with another discount code or promotional offer unless Formulosophy expressly states otherwise.

Ineligible or incomplete returns

A return may be found ineligible if:

  • It contains fewer than three qualifying jars;
  • A required lid or white protective inner insert is missing;
  • The components are not original Formulosophy packaging;
  • The components have not been reasonably emptied, cleaned and dried;
  • Any glass component is cracked, chipped, broken or unsafe;
  • The return was not authorized in advance; or
  • The parcel was not sent according to the provided return instructions.

Formulosophy reserves the right to decline credit for components that do not meet the program requirements.

Program changes

Formulosophy may modify, pause or discontinue The Considered Jar Return Program where reasonably necessary, including in response to operational, shipping, safety or program-availability considerations.

Any material changes will be communicated on this page. A change to the program will not invalidate an eligible credit that has already been issued.

Shipping & Returns

We want ordering from Formulosophy to feel considered from beginning to end. Below you’ll find information about order processing, shipping, cancellations and our complimentary 30-day return policy.

Where we ship

Formulosophy currently ships to eligible addresses within Canada.

Shipping charges are calculated according to the location, quantity ordered, and are clearly displayed at checkout before payment.

Order processing

Orders are packed and shipped in controlled fulfilment waves throughout each monthly release. Please allow up to seven business days after purchase for your order to be prepared and handed to the carrier.

This processing period is separate from the carrier’s delivery time.

During a product release or an unusually high-volume period, processing may take longer. If we expect a material delay, we will communicate the revised timeframe where reasonably possible.

Tracking and delivery

Every Formulosophy order is sent using a tracked shipping service.

Once your order ships, you will receive a shipping confirmation containing your tracking information. Delivery estimates supplied by the carrier are provided as guidance and are not guaranteed.

Changing a shipping address

Please review your shipping address carefully before completing your order.

If you notice an error, contact [email protected] as soon as possible using the subject line:

ADDRESS CHANGE ORDER #[receipt number]

We will make reasonable efforts to update the address before shipment, but we cannot guarantee that a change can be made once an order has been processed or shipped.

If an order is returned because the address provided was incorrect or incomplete, the customer may be responsible for the cost of reshipping it.

Cancelling an order

Orders may be cancelled before shipment.

To request a cancellation, contact [email protected] using the subject line:

PLEASE CANCEL ORDER #[receipt number]

Once an order has shipped, it can no longer be cancelled. You may instead request a return under our 30-day return policy.

Complimentary 30-day returns

We want you to feel comfortable trying Formulosophy.

If a product is not right for your skin, you may request a return within 30 days of delivery—even if you have opened and tried it.

To begin a return, contact [email protected] using the subject line:

RETURN ORDER #[receipt number]

We will send you return instructions and provide a prepaid return-shipping label at no cost to you.

To receive a refund:

  • The container and any remaining product must be returned;
  • The container must retain at least 50% of its original contents;
  • Any additional containers from the order for which you are requesting a refund must also be returned;
  • The return must be sent using the prepaid return method and instructions provided by Formulosophy.

Once the return has been received, we will refund the purchase price of the returned product and the original standard shipping charge to the original payment method. Return shipping is also provided at no cost to you.

The time required for the refund to appear may vary depending on your payment provider or financial institution.

Damaged, defective or incorrect orders

If your order arrives damaged, defective or incorrect, contact [email protected] within seven days of delivery using the subject line:

ORDER ISSUE #[receipt number]

Please include a brief description and photographs where applicable.

After reviewing the issue, we will provide a replacement, subject to availability, or a full refund. All related shipping costs will be covered by Formulosophy.

Lost or missing deliveries

If tracking has stopped updating, the estimated delivery date has passed, or your package is marked as delivered but cannot be located, contact [email protected] using the subject line:

DELIVERY ISSUE #[receipt number]

We will work with the carrier to investigate. We may ask you to confirm your delivery information or take reasonable steps to help locate the package.

If the shipment is confirmed lost or cannot reasonably be located following the investigation, we will provide a replacement, subject to availability, or a full refund at no cost to you.

This policy does not limit any rights or remedies available under applicable consumer-protection law.

If you do not agree with them, please do not use the website or purchase our products.

Eligibility

You must have reached the age of majority in your province or territory of residence, or have the permission and supervision of a parent or legal guardian, to place an order through this website. You agree to provide current, complete and accurate information when placing an order.

Products and product information

We make reasonable efforts to present our products, ingredients, packaging, colours, textures and other product details accurately. However, colours and other visual characteristics may appear differently depending on your device and display settings.

Because our products are produced in small batches, minor variations in colour, texture or appearance may occur. These variations do not necessarily indicate that a product is defective.

Product descriptions and other information on this website are provided for general informational purposes. Our products are cosmetics and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or medical condition.

Individual experiences may vary. Review the complete ingredient list before use and discontinue use if irritation or an adverse reaction occurs. If you have a known allergy, skin condition or medical concern, consult an appropriate healthcare professional before using the product.

Monthly releases, product availability, and order limits

Formulosophy generally offers Melt & Purify through limited monthly releases rather than continuous availability. Each release is available during the announced ordering period or until the available inventory sells out, whichever occurs first.

Release dates, ordering periods and available quantities may change due to production, quality-control, seasonal or operational requirements. Receiving advance notice or an advance-access opportunity does not reserve inventory or guarantee that a product will remain available for purchase.

Customers may purchase up to three units per order. Formulosophy may cancel or limit orders that exceed an applicable purchase limit, appear to be intended for unauthorized resale, involve suspected fraud, or cannot be fulfilled due to unavailable inventory or a checkout error.

Submitting an order does not guarantee that the order has been accepted or can be fulfilled. If we cannot fulfil an order, we will notify you promptly and refund all affected charges, including applicable shipping charges and taxes, to the original payment method.

Prices and payment

Products are available while quantities last.

Payment must be completed using one of the payment methods offered at checkout. Applicable shipping charges and taxes, if any, will be displayed before the order is submitted.

Payments are processed securely by Stripe. Formulosophy does not directly receive or store complete payment-card details. Your use of Stripe’s payment services may also be subject to Stripe’s applicable terms and privacy practices.

We reserve the right to correct pricing, product-description or checkout errors. If an error affects an order you have already submitted, we will contact you before fulfilling the order or cancel the affected order and issue a refund.

Shipping area and charges

We currently ship only to eligible addresses within Canada.

Shipping charges are displayed at checkout and may vary according to the location, quantity ordered, or the checkout option selected.

Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate shipping address.

Order processing and tracking

Orders are packed and shipped in controlled fulfilment waves throughout each monthly release. Please allow up to seven business days after purchase for your order to be prepared and handed to the carrier.

This processing period is separate from the carrier’s delivery time.

During a product release, an unusually high-volume period or circumstances beyond our reasonable control, processing may take longer. Any material revision to the expected processing period will be communicated where reasonably possible.

Every order is shipped using a tracked delivery service. Once your order ships, you will receive a shipping confirmation containing tracking information.

Carrier delivery estimates are provided as guidance and are not guaranteed.

Incorrect or incomplete addresses

If you notice an error in your shipping address, contact [email protected] as soon as possible using the subject line:

“ADDRESS CHANGE ORDER #[receipt number]”

We will make reasonable efforts to update the address before shipment, but we cannot guarantee that a change can be made after an order has been processed or shipped.

If an order is returned because the address supplied by the customer was incorrect or incomplete, the customer may be responsible for the cost of reshipping it.

Order cancellations

Orders may be cancelled before shipment by contacting [email protected] using the subject line:

“PLEASE CANCEL ORDER #[receipt number]”

Once an order has shipped, it cannot be cancelled. You may, however, request a return in accordance with our 30-Day Return Policy below.

30-Day return policy

If a Formulosophy product is not right for your skin, you may request a return within 30 days of delivery, even if you have opened and tried the product.

  • The return must be sent using the return method and instructions provided by Formulosophy.

After the returned product has been received, Formulosophy will refund the purchase price of the returned product and the original standard shipping charge to the original payment method. Return shipping is provided at no cost to the customer.

Refund processing times may vary depending on the payment provider or financial institution. This return policy does not limit any rights or remedies available to you under applicable law.
