​​​​​​​​​​​​​​SHIPPING & HANDLING

We work very hard to ship out all orders as quickly as possible, and ask that you allow 1-2 business days for this product to leave our warehouse after payment is received. Depending on the delivery service, this item takes between 2 and 5 business days to arrive once shipped - perhaps 1 or 2 days longer if you are in an extremely remote area of the United States. We utilize UPS, FedEx, and USPS for shipping, and can not be held responsible for delays on their part. We will, however, work feverishly to find out what the issue is should the product not arrive on time, or in a damaged state.

​​​​​​​RETURNS & REFUNDS

Products That Arrived With Manufacturers Defect / Damaged

If, for some reason, your product arrives with a manufacturers defect or damaged, it will be replaced at no cost to you. Depending on the circumstances, we may ask you to send us a picture of the damaged packaging / product so that a claim can be filed, or to alert the manufacturer of an issue.

Return Of Products For Resons Other Than Manufacturer Defect

For any reason other than a manufacturers defect or damage during shipping, you can return your item(s) for a merchandise credit, or refund, but only if they are unopened, unused, and in their original / unused condition so they can be resold. 

In this case, you are responsible for the cost of shipping back to us, and a restocking fee of 20% will be deducted to cover the cost of the original shipping. eBay / Paypal has this built into their system and it will occur automatically at the time of the refund.

Please email us for a return address.

Once we receive your return, we will send you the replacement product, authorize a credit, or generate a refund based on your indicated choice.

The packaging may include shrink wrapping, tape along the opening of a case, or nothing at all. Please note that some manufacturers do not apply any extra packaging / protection to their products, particularly with regards to books. We take as much time as needed to make sure that the product you order is sent to you with the protection that is needed to minimize possible damage. If damage occurs, we will gladly issue a replacement if so desired.

Soothing Touch began ~ 1977, in a small garage in Los Angeles, California. The late Yogi Bhajan (Founder) was a Kundalini Yoga teacher and master from India who had moved to the West to teach yoga, meditation, and healthy eating habits. His students were from all walks of life, and they were learning how to live the life of a householder and maintain their yogic lifestyle in an ashram / group environment. In their quest to find a way to support themselves, “Yogi Ji” provided them a collection of ancient Ayurvedic formulas for oil blends that had been used for centuries in India. He knew the value of a good oil blend for the body and the coming need and popularity of the massage and holistic markets in the US.

So began the business of Soothing Touch, very simply, with hopes that enough money could be generated to live on. Little did they know that the business would not only provide a small but steady income for a group of young, eager, starry-eyed yoga students but also one day provide over 200 natural, high quality massage and spa products for therapists and customers around the world.

Soothing Touch continued to grow and prosper. They moved to Eugene, Oregon and expanded their product offering to include Ayurvedic creams and lotions, topical pain relief gels, body butters, then organic sugar and salt scrubs. The scrubs quickly grew to become some of the fastest selling items of their category in the US natural retail market.

Fast forward to December of 2006, Soothing Touch was sold to the current owners and the business was relocated to Santa Fe, New Mexico - the Land of Enchantment. A new production facility was established and offices built from the ground up. What was about to take place was the rebirthing of a long forgotten hidden jewel, Soothing Touch. Once the dust settled, the team was organized and we began the process of helping Soothing Touch realize its true potential.

In their first 6 years in Santa Fe, many new items were introduced including Bath Salts, Organic Lip Balms, Versa Crème for Massage, Desert Blossom Collection, Narayan Balms, Basics Oil, Lotion and Cream Collection and more. Many new production procedures were put in place including energy saving and resource sensitive practices, one of which will conserve water and recycle over 300,000 gallons per year. Soothing Touch recently become a Certified Organic Manufacturing Facility by the NMDA, producing both conventional and organic products.

As they continue to grow, Soothing Touch is working on innovative products, increasingly “green” production practices, and reaching an even larger audience around the US and the world. A family run business, they work together as a team, value good customer service, have some fun and understand the importance of creating a high quality product at an affordable price.
