Refunds and Returns
Only items purchased on the Aesop website can be returned to aesop.com for refund or exchange. Items purchased in a department store, specialty retailer or elsewhere must be returned to their original point of purchase.
Should you make an error when ordering online, Aesop will gladly exchange your item for the item you intended to purchase. The returned item must be unopened and in its original saleable condition. You are responsible for the shipping and additional postage charges.
In the unfortunate event that you react to a product, you have the option of exchanging or refunding it. All items must be returned to Aesop at:

The customer is responsible for the shipping costs incurred when sending the items back to Aesop. In Switzerland, the shipping charge of CHF 8 will be payable if the subsequent refund reduces the original order amount to below the free shipping threshold of CHF 200.
