Ingredients and Packaging

Is your packaging environmentally friendly?

- Yes! We use light-weight plastic which reduces the amount of material needed for packaging.
Are any Arboretum products tested on animals?
- No. We make sure that all of our products and source ingredients are cruelty free.
Are Arboretum ingredients natural, non-GMO or organic?

- We try to use organic ingredients whenever possible. A lot of them are Ecocert certified and all of the ingredients are non-GMO. Learn more about the Ecocert certification here.
Do your products contain fragrances?

- We don’t use fragrances except in two of our products - the Gentle Herbal Cleanser and Problem Skin Lotion. Those use essential oils for their therapeutic function.
What is the expiration date of your products?

- Our products expire one year after opening.
What is the pH of Arboretum products?

Is it alright if my purchased products vary in color and texture?

- Olga makes all her products in small batches to ensure freshness. In all hand-made products there could be a small variation between batches since ingredients may differ slightly.
Do you give product samples?

- Yes! You can order 5 samples for $7.99 here. Please specify if you want samples for oily, dry or sensitive skin.
Does your cleanser work to remove make-up?
