Returns & Refund Policy
Last Updated: 29 July 2026
At Umndeni Health (Umndeni Skin Care), customer satisfaction is important to us. We take pride in producing high-quality skincare products and want you to shop with confidence. If you experience a problem with your order, we will do our best to resolve it promptly and fairly.
Returns
Due to the personal nature of our skincare products, we do not accept returns of products that have been opened, used, or tampered with.
For health, hygiene, and customer safety reasons, all skincare products are considered non-returnable once opened. This policy helps us ensure that every product we supply is safe, hygienic, and of the highest quality for all our customers.
If your product has not been opened or used and you wish to request a return, please contact us within 7 days of receiving your order. Any approved return must be in its original, unopened condition and accompanied by proof of purchase.
Damaged, Defective or Incorrect Products
If you receive a product that is:
-
Damaged during delivery;
-
Defective;
-
Incorrect; or
-
Missing from your order,
please notify us within 7 days of receiving your package.
To help us investigate your claim, please provide:
-
Your order number;
-
A description of the issue; and
-
Clear photographs of the product and its packaging where applicable.
Once we have reviewed your claim, we may offer a replacement, exchange, or refund where appropriate.

If a refund is approved:
-
It will be processed using the original payment method used for the purchase.

If your exchange request is approved, we will arrange for the correct replacement product to be sent to you as soon as reasonably possible.
Allergic Reactions and Skin Sensitivities
Our products are made using carefully selected ingredients; however, individual skin types and sensitivities vary.
We strongly recommend performing a patch test before using any skincare product for the first time.
If irritation or discomfort occurs, discontinue use immediately and consult a qualified healthcare professional if necessary.
Refunds or replacements for allergic reactions will be assessed on a case-by-case basis and may require additional information.
