FAQ
Why does my body butter melt?
Our Body Butters are completely natural as we do not use synthetic stabilizers. This means IF your body butters are subjected to hot temperatures (~30 C/ 86F) their molecular composition will change (from a whipped texture to an oil when heated). Do not store your body butter in your (purse, car or in direct sunlight). During very warm weather body butter will soften or melt. Melting is a natural reaction to heat which we cannot control. Melting will not affect the quality or healing benefits of the butter but the consistency (molecules) will change from a whipped texture to a body balm once solidified. Please track your parcel and pick up promptly upon delivery to avoid any potential for melting. Do not leave your parcel on your porch or mailbox during summer months. We urge you to stock up on Body Butters during Winter/Fall.
What is the shelf life of the products?
We do not add preservatives to lengthen the life of our products. However, most of our products contain a high level of naturally occurring Vitamin E which is a natural preservative extending shelf life. Body Butters are good up to 2 years as long as they are free from moisture and direct heat. Serums, Soaps, Shampoo Bars, Facial Clay Masks and Cleansing Oils are good for a year. Always ensure you have firmly screwed the lid back onto your products and keep in a cool/dark place to ensure freshness.
shipping costs?
All of our products are shipped out of Canada. Our eco friendly reusable glass containers help maintain the integrity of our precious ingredients - they also add weight which translates to higher shipping costs. Sat Yuga Life absorbs a portion of your shipping costs! We ship within Canada and USA for free over $75. Alternatively, we charge $11 CAD flat rate shipping. Due to recent “world events” shipping costs have gone up however, we have not increased our shipping.
INTERNATIONAL shipping, DUTIES and taxes outside of north america?
We have moved away from worldwide shipping due to high shipping costs and duties. We don’t have control or oversight into the potential duties and/or taxes that your respective country can charge you upon delivery. Unfortunately, we have had customers pay high duties/taxes within the EU. Currently we are shipping to the EU and Australia only. We would love to find a better way to ship worldwide one day.
Are your products vegan and cruelty free?
Yes, we are proudly 100% Vegan and cruelty free.
