Returns: Due to industry standards as they relate to FDA requirements in cosmetic hygiene, we are unable to accept returns on any Cosmetics, Facial Care Products, Mineral Makeup Brushes or Facial Towels. This is to ensure you as the customer are receiving the highest standards in product safety. Testing through our generous samples is an excellent way to determine color, formula, and how they will perform for your skin type. We carefully package and inspect each item before we ship them out to you. We will only provide an exchange in the event of an error on our part. Follow detailed directions below.

Incorrect Item: Although this rarely happens, mistakes in processing an order can occur. Notify us within 2 business days of RECEIPT date of your package as to our error and we will issue an authorization number for your return. Once item is received, we will issue a corrected exchange at our expense along with a free gift for your inconvenience. There is no compensation offered for original shipping fees. (Please enclose a copy of your shipping and item receipt with shipment) Items returned must fall under the terms of Undamaged / Unopened Item Return below.

Undamaged / Unopened Item Return: Incorrect items must be returned in original saleable condition so please check invoice against items in package before removing any tamper resistant seals or opening of exterior packaging since once opened we cannot exchange for correct product. Name, color, formula and ingredients are clearly visible on all jars and through the window on the back of our boxes in the full size mineral cosmetics. Upon our inspection of item returned due to our error, if item is either defaced or damaged by end user, it will not qualify for a credit or exchange. This will include damage to exterior packaging, tampering of hygienic seals or lifting of sifters.

Damaged item returns if Insured: Please save all packing materials and original envelope and notify and present all damaged materials to the shipper within 24 hours to ensure claim may be processed. Contact us via e-mail following receipt of the claim number they give you so we may follow up with the shipper in order to assist you with the claim. If you fail to notify shipper and us within the specified time frame there will be no guarantee your claim will be processed or that a replacement will be provided if you fail to follow the USPS guidelines. It may take up to 90 days for a claim to be processed.

All returns must receive prior authorization before shipment. We recommend purchasing insurance to protect from damage or loss. There will be no exchanges on uninsured, lost or damaged items. Any items returned without prior authorization will be subject to a 20% restock fee and the remaining credit will be placed on your online account (less all shipping and handling fees). Credits are available for future product purchase only and are not applied toward shipping.

Special Terms and Conditions for Refund: Undelivered package or refusal by customer of purchased items will not be entitled to receive a full refund. A 20% Restock Fee, any Miscellaneous Fees, and any and all Domestic or International Shipping and Handling charges assessed against Sterling Minerals by USPS will be assessed against your original purchase, and if any credit remains, the balance will be refunded.

All items must be returned via USPS first class with receipt and return information enclosed. All damaged items are processed with your local post office.
