For lost or damaged packages, please email moherzig@gmail.com I like to be kept in the loop, but ultimately delivery and damage issues must be resolved with USPS.

Due to the nature of our products, returns will not be accepted.

Please read the ingredients carefully! Know your allergies. Standard testing recommendations: Test a small patch of skin with the product and wait 24 hours. If a sensitivity occurs, discontinue use. Please email me with concerns at moherzig@gmail.com

  • Alchemy is very open-sourced and will share the origin of any ingredient. In fact, I’ll share anything except the actual formula.

If you find yourself unhappy with a product, please get in touch, I'll do my best to make it right.

“SAMPLES”

Folks, Alchemy is a small business, making all the potions and perfumes by hand, and in small batches… I prefer to put my energy elsewhere.

Sample sizes are not available due to a fundamental belief that they burden the waste-system endemic in the commercial cosmetics industry.

FREEBIES FOR INFLUENCE / REVIEWS

Alchemy does not pay for influence in cash money or in the form of freebies. All reviews are folks who are fans.
