Our 30 Day Glow Guarantee

We’re confident you’ll see a glow—and feel it too. But if you’re not happy, neither are we.

This business was built on a deep passion for skin health and a desire to make a positive impact. We’re truly grateful every time you choose to spend your hard-earned money on our handcrafted products, and we want you to love them just as much as we do.

If you don’t see an improvement in your skin’s health, radiance, or vitality within 30 days, we’ll gladly offer a full refund or a product replacement—your choice.

To be eligible, we just ask for a few things:

Give it 30 days – That’s the minimum time it takes for your skin to complete a renewal cycle and for visible results to start to appear (4-6 weeks). Make sure the product is used consistently and as directed to ensure best results possible.

✔️ Review ingredients before purchase: Customers are responsible for reviewing ingredient lists and ensuring products are suitable for their personal needs. We cannot offer refunds for reactions related to known or disclosed allergens or sensitivities.

✔️ Give it time: Please allow 28 days of consistent use, as this is the minimum  time needed for skin cell turnover and visible results.

✔️ Use as directed: Products must be used according to the instructions on the label.

✔️ No more than half used: No more than approximately 50% of the product should be used to qualify for a return or replacement.

✔️ Product return required: You may return the product by mail or drop it off in person (if local). If a replacement requires shipping, the customer is responsible but we offer $10 flat rate to keep it affordable - we pay the rest.

✔️ Return the product – You’re welcome to drop it off in person (if local), or return it by mail. Customers are responsible for the cost of return mail but we offer a $10.00 flat rate to help keep it affordable.

Choose from:

  • A) A full product price refund to your method of purchase
  • B) A store credit for the value of the product (sent as either a discount code or virtual gift card for future use)
  • C) Choose a similar product as a replacement (if product cost is different you can pay the additional amount or we will refund the difference)

US Shipping - Currently Unavailable

Shipping to the United States 🇺🇸

At the moment, we’re not shipping to the United States. Recent changes to U.S. import rules (known as the de minimis rules) mean that small Canadian businesses like ours can no longer send packages across the border without extra fees and complicated requirements. On top of this, the flat shipping rates we’re able to offer are very high — often more than the value of the order itself.

We’re actively looking into better solutions and will reopen U.S. shipping as soon as it becomes fair and affordable for our customers. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding!

  • Please allow 5–10 business days for delivery after your order has been shipped. Delivery times may vary slightly based on your location and the shipping method selected.

Shipping rates (USD):

  • $10 USD flat rate on orders between $75–$139.99 USD
  • Free shipping on orders $140+ USD
  • Orders under $75 are charged a standard calculated shipping rate at checkout

**Note on Untracked ShippingSome lower-cost shipping methods available at checkout do not include tracking or insurance. If you choose an untracked option, Verv Skin is not responsible for lost, delayed, or unconfirmed deliveries. For peace of mind, we always recommend selecting a tracked shipping method.

Please also note: U.S. customers are responsible for any customs duties, taxes, or import fees that may apply at the time of delivery.

Guided by Values, Driven by Care

At Verv Skin, everything we create starts with a clear purpose: to care deeply for your skin, your health, and the world around us. Our core values aren’t just words—they’re the guiding principles behind every formula, every package, and every conversation we have. We’re proud to share these beliefs with you, because we know that honest skincare starts with honest intentions.

1. Radical Transparency

We believe in being clear, honest, and real—with our ingredients, our claims, and our customers. That means full ingredient disclosure, no inflated promises, and skincare that speaks for itself. We share what we’ve learned openly and simply, helping you make informed choices without overwhelm or jargon. We don’t believe in fear-based marketing or hiding behind trends—we trust that truth and knowledge build long-term trust.


2. Authenticity, Always

As the founder of this business, I show up as I am—with care, curiosity, and honesty. That means real conversations with customers, genuine investment in improving what we create, and a refusal to pretend we have it all figured out. We celebrate natural beauty and real skin, not airbrushed ideals. No filters, no perfection—just a small business doing work that matters, with people who care deeply.


3. Health & Wellness First

I started this business because I was deeply concerned about the synthetic dyes, fragrances, and hormone-disrupting chemicals found in everyday personal care. As a trained formulator—and someone who’s experienced the impact of these ingredients firsthand—I choose every component with care. We don’t cut corners or follow trends to boost margins. Instead, we use only what we believe is safest and most effective for our bodies and the planet. That means no petroleum byproducts, harsh preservatives, or irritating surfactants—just clean, thoughtful ingredients that respect our health.


4. Inclusive Beauty for Every Body

We celebrate the full spectrum of natural beauty—across all ages, skin tones, and skin types. Our images feature real people, not airbrushed ideals, because everyone deserves to see themselves reflected in skincare. We’re proud to work with a diverse team and create products for all skin journeys, embracing authenticity over perfection.


5. Thoughtful Sustainability

We’re a small business committed to doing our part for the planet. While we don’t have all the answers yet, we prioritize recyclable and eco-friendly packaging, reuse materials when we can, and grow some botanicals organically. We also offer a glass jar return program to reduce waste. We believe honest, gradual progress is better than empty promises, and we’re always looking for new ways to improve.

Body Lotion | TAIGA Cedar & Blood Orange
Amanda Smith (Halifax, CA)
Amazing product

My skin feels amazing !

Go-to for colder months

I swear by this balm when the weather starts to cool off. Gentle, but gets the job done when my skin leans on the drier side during cold weather. Love following it up with a nice, rich moisturizer. And the scent is lovely!

Staple Verv product for my skincare routine

Gentle and effective at removing makeup!

Silky smooth and hydrating!! Also smells incredible

Love this moisturizer so much! I have been using daily and notice the texture of my skin has improved. It also smells so, so good!

I LOVE Verv Skin products! I Have been using Verv for several months and I’ve noticed how gentle yet effective these products are on my skin. The textures feel luxurious, absorb quickly, and leave my skin hydrated without any heaviness.

What I love most is the consistency of results—my skin looks brighter, feels smoother, and has a healthy glow every day. The ingredients feel thoughtfully chosen, and my skin has never felt irritated or weighed down.

The packaging is sleek and easy to use, and it’s clear that care went into both the quality of the formulas and the customer experience.

I’m thrilled with how my skin looks and feels. I am a customer for life. Highly recommend to anyone who wants products that are effective, elegant, and trustworthy!

Black Cumin Clarifying Face Oil
Black Cumin Face Oil (Dartmouth, CA)
Spa like treatment for your face

Bought this face oil today at an outlet in Lawrencetown NS. It’s absolute heaven for your face. Laced with some of the best ingredients it smells devine and is calm and soothing on the skin. Definitely will continue to purchase. The fact that it’s made locally is also a bonus.

Best deodorant

I simply love the scent of this deodorant and appreciate that the ingredients are clean and simple. Thanks for the great products VERV always delivers!

Monoï de Tahiti Overnight Hand Treatment
Joan van Oostrum (Lower Sackville, CA)

Awesome hand cream.

Love this!

Feels fresh and soothing, an amazing product just like every other verv product:)

Lovely!

I’ve just started using this product. It’s been wonderful to layer under moisturizer or as an extra bit of hydration after spending time outside.

Wonderful!

Thank you for creating this fantastic product! I’ve been using it at night and it has done wonders for my outdoors-loving skin. It absorbs well and is not heavy. Plus the scent is beautiful but not overpowering.

Feels luxurious on your skin!

Not oily and absorbs completely. Another Verv product to love using daily!

Soft as silk

Silky is how my skin feels after using the Natural deodorant and I absolutely love the scent lemongrass, eucalyptus & lavender.
It’s very effective and I won’t use anything else.

Body Lotion | TAIGA Cedar & Blood Orange
Heather Godfrey (Dartmouth, CA)

I like it takes away dry flakes on my legs blends in well

The best deodorant I have ever used

Goes on easily, produces zero waste (I return the jars) and works better than any deodorant I have ever used. There is no residue left on my clothes and the smell is very subtle.
