PRODUCTS/INGREDIENTS/THE ENVIRONMENT
How do you choose which products to carry at Integrity Botanicals?
Every product we carry has to meet three key requirements for quality: safety, effectiveness and, what we at Integrity unscientifically have dubbed, “The Wow Factor.”
How do you evaluate the products on your site?
We personally test each and every product so our customers don’t have to. We review the ingredients of every product that comes across our desk, and each ingredient is cross-referenced with the EWG Skin Deep Database to determine its safety rating. Additionally, we receive extensive product training from many of the brands we carry.
Do your products contain parabens?
All of our products are always free of the following: artificial fragrances, artificial colors*, parabens, petrochemicals, phthalates, PEG’s, hydroquinone, oxybenzone, sulfates, Triclosan, phenoxyethanol and dimethicone. *except for nail polish
Are any of your products tested on animals?
No. All of our products are cruelty-free. Integrity Botanicals is also a proud co-sponsor of the Humane Cosmetics Act, a bill that would ban animal testing for cosmetics in the U.S. (Note: The European Union has already banned all cosmetic products and ingredients tested on animals, with a phase out that began in 2003.)
Do you carry vegan and/or gluten-free products?
Yes. We do carry a selection of both vegan and gluten-free products. Most are noted at the top of each product description.
Are ALL of your products natural?
The vast majority of our products are, indeed, natural. However, a small selection of products such as nail polish cannot be classified as natural. However, we have worked hard to find only those brands that are non-toxic and free of the nastiest of chemicals. All of our nail polishes are 5-Free: NO dibutyl phthalate (DBP), toluene, formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin and camphor. A small selection of makeup also contains synthetic pigment of up to 1%, which is food grade and approved by EU SCCS and FDA for use in lip and face products.
Are ALL of your products organic?
Some are 100% organic while others have only a portion of organic ingredients.
Why aren’t all of your products organic?
Organic is not a criteria for carrying a product in our store, but natural is. A product may contain organic ingredients, yet still have chemicals added to it. In that case we would definitely not consider it. Additionally, it can be cost prohibitive, especially for smaller companies such as many of the brands we work with, to get their products certified as organic. Many are moving in this direction as they grow.
Does Integrity Botanicals support any environmental causes?
Since our launch, we have donated to and supported Environmental Working Group, one of the nation’s leading environmental health research and advocacy organizations dedicated to protecting human health and the environment.
SHOPPING
I am in the shopping cart and wish to checkout, but the checkout button is grayed out and I cannot proceed. Why is this happening?
Please check your cart to see if you have selected more than 3 free samples. If you have added more than 3 free samples, please remove the excess quantity and click "Update". The checkout icon should now appear.
I signed up for your email list but haven't received a special discount code?
It can take our servers up to an hour to email you the code, although it's usually generated within a matter of minutes. You will receive two emails. The first one is to confirm your subscription and the second one you receive will include the discount code. Our emails can sometimes get caught up in spam filters or junk folders. Please add info@integritybotanicals.com to your safe senders list to ensure all communication from us. If you are still having trouble receiving the email, please contact us at info@integritybotanicals.com or click here and we'd be happy to assist you.
I'm trying to use a discount code but it's not applying to certain items in my cart?
All discount codes to our store, including signing up for our Newsletter no longer apply to (M)anasi 7, Josh Rosebrook, Laurel Skin, Vintner's Daughter or Kypris products. (All retailers have been asked to exclude (M)anasi 7, Josh Rosebrook, Laurel Skin, Vintner's Daughter, FāTH and Kypris from any type of discounting.) Laurel does allow their products to be included once a year, in our Black Friday sale. Osmia, Mara and Maya Chia are often times excluded from sitewide sales, which is disclosed in our sale announcements/newsletters.
Is there anything wrong with the products you have on sale?
No. Most products we have on sale are either being discontinued by us and/or by the manufacturer. Others may be undergoing packaging changes and/or reformulations so these are offered at a discount so we can go through our stock and have the newest products available. If you have any questions about any particular item, please feel free to contact us anytime.
I claimed my reward points voucher and tried entering it into the discount field upon checkout. When I tried to use another discount code or promotional code, the website won't accept the code?
Rewards point vouchers are considered discount codes and our website will not accept more than one discount code per transaction.
After claiming my reward points voucher, I decided I wanted to use a different discount code or promotion instead. How do I reclaim my rewards and get them put back into my account?
Any unused reward points vouchers will still show in the Reward Points window, under “Your Rewards”. You may need to scroll down to see it as it may be a bit cutoff since we added the $20 and $40 voucher option. The rewards voucher does not expire and can still be used for future purchases.
Do reward points expire?
Reward points do not expire.
My cart has $75 or more in products, but when I go to checkout the free shipping option is not available. When does free shipping apply?
Free shipping is offered on U.S. orders of $75 or more after discounts have been applied. If a discount code (including reward point vouchers) has been entered during the checkout process and your cart total falls below $75 then free shipping does not apply.
Is your website secure?
Yes. When you shop online with us, all of your personal and credit card information is encrypted, verified and authenticated with our SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate.

Never. We do not share or sell any email provided, through any method. You can be assured that your data is private—from our email newsletter to checkout, product reviews, giveaways and more.

How can I be notified when a product is back in stock?

We will notify you via email and/or text message when the particular item is back in stock.

Can I pre-order an out of stock item?
Yes. There are some items that are available for pre-order on our site. This button will appear next to the wish list button on the product page. If the pre-order button does not appear, you can also pre-order an out of stock item by calling us at (973) 543-2826. We can place the order for you over the phone and ship the item(s) once they arrive in our store.
