Shipping & Returns

Where do you ship?

We ship our products to North America and do some international shipping. We do not ship to PO Boxes and you must have a physical address for us to send your order.

Once I've purchased my order, how long will it take to receive it?

Essentials by Nature orders are processed and shipped out within 7-10 business days. Orders are shipped during business days only, Monday-Friday. Orders will not be shipped on the weekend or statutory holidays.

The time frame for international orders can vary depending on customs, but it usually takes between 10-28+ business days to arrive. Often international orders get held up at customs for a few days and this may lengthen the delivery time. We encourage you to choose tracked shipping when ordering internationally.

Can I change or cancel my order once I have put it through?

We do not change or cancel orders once they have been processed. If you have a question or concern about your order, please send us an email with your order number, reason for the change/cancellation and we can look into it for you if it's been less than 24 hours.

There will be NO refunds for shipping given if you missed using a promotional code.

What should I do if my order arrives and the products are damaged?

Essentials by Nature reserves the right to deny the replacement of damaged products based on the product.  We will only credit/replace the damaged item(s) but not the entire order. 

To begin the process, please email us at info@essentialsbynature.ca within 7 days of the order being received and include your order number, which products were damaged, and photos of the damaged product.

What if my order doesn't arrive?

When your order is ready for shipment, you will receive an email with the tracking number for your order. Please note that we have no control over transit times. During shipment, we can only see your tracking number page. Essentials by Nature is not liable for packages that are delayed or lost during the shipping process. You will have to file a claim with the shipping carrier.

Product Information

Where do you make all your products?

Essentials by Nature products are made from scratch at our production site in Edmonton.  Our company sources a lot of materials locally, and collaborates with a number of suppliers in the area.  Our packaging is deliberately simple to minimize waste.

All products we sell are made in a safe and hygienic environment. We follow Alberta Health Services (AHS) guidelines when manufacturing all products.

What is the shelf-life of your products?

Some of our products have a longer shelf life than others depending on the ingredients and if they are oil based. As our products are made with natural ingredients, we suggest a shelf-life of 6-12 months.

Our products are natural and only contain some natural preservatives. To keep your products the freshest, please keep them away from direct heat and light sources. Always make sure to keep the lids tightly sealed.
