Payment & delivery
How buying a book works.
Checkout runs on Payhip. Card payments are processed by Stripe, Payhip collects and pays the sales tax or VAT that applies to your order, and your PDF is delivered the moment payment clears.
Cards accepted worldwide
Visa, Mastercard and American Express, plus Apple Pay and Google Pay where your device supports them.
Instant delivery
The download link appears as soon as payment clears and is emailed to you as well. There is no waiting and nothing is posted.
Taxes handled for you
Payhip collects and pays EU and UK VAT and US sales tax on digital products where they apply. Any tax is shown at checkout before you pay.
Secure by design
Card details are entered on the Payhip and Stripe checkout and never touch this site. We never see or store your payment information.
30-day refunds
If the book is not what you expected, write to us within 30 days of purchase and we will refund it.
Your personal copy
Each PDF is stamped with your email address and the date of purchase on every page, and the download link works for a limited number of downloads. Save the file when you get it. It is not DRM-locked: read it on any device and print the pages you want.

Questions about payment
What format is the book in?
A PDF, formatted as two-page spreads. It opens on a phone, tablet, laptop or e-reader, and there is no app or account to install.
What language is it written in?
English.
Can I print it?
Yes. The PDF is not locked or DRM-protected, so you can print the whole book or just the formula you are working from. Every page carries a small stamp with the email address and date of your purchase, which marks the copy as yours.
How do I get the book after paying?
Instantly. Checkout runs on Payhip, and the download link appears on the confirmation screen and arrives by email the moment payment clears. Nothing is shipped and there is nothing to wait for.
Is there a refund?
Yes, within 30 days. If the book is not what you expected, write to us through the contact page with your order email and we will refund it.
Is it suitable for a complete beginner?
Yes. Each book opens with the safety and sterility protocol and assumes no prior experience. The formulas are ordered so the simplest come first — in the skin care book the first project needs no heat and no emulsifying at all.
Can I ask the author questions?
You can ask this site's Knowledge Assistant any question and get an answer drawn from the books, with the chapter to read next. For anything it cannot answer, write to the author through the contact page.
Can I sell what I make from these formulas?
You can sell the products you make. Be aware that products made for sale need additional stability, microbiological and safety testing, and must meet the cosmetic regulations of your market. The books teach the formulation, not the regulatory process. You may not resell or redistribute the book itself.
