Our products should be used within 6 months of opening, but on average—if you're using the products regularly—you should need to refill after 3-4 months.
Unopened products, on the other hand, have a significant shelf life and will keep anywhere from 6 months to a year if stored properly.
Benedetta uses 100% botanical formulas so our ingredients are derived from only plant materials. Because our plant materials come to us from various regions of the world, and the seasons and climate of these various regions affect the biological composition of the plants, the aromatic can change from harvest to harvest. Similarly, some newer processed essential oils or hydrosols may take up to 6 months to come into their full aromatic profiles. This is nothing with which to be concerned and is completely natural. However, we always insist on collecting batch codes, biological analytics, and quality reports for every ingredient; otherwise, we do not use it.
Here at Benedetta, one of our core principles is that we refuse to use heavy plasticizers, thickeners, or petroleum-based binders in our products. Therefore, on occasion, products may separate slightly especially with significant changes in temperature. No need to worry though; the product is still intact and ready to use. In fact, we suggest using the waterier product like one of our hydrosols until the product pumps out thicker.
We do actually! We offer 2 different ways to sample or try our line, especially if it's your first time using a truly authentic 100% botanical line.
So first off, we offer Sampler Cans which are great if you believe you may be sensitive to essential oils, and those come in 2 variations: Drier to Most, and Most to Oilier. Each can has a number of individual products including 2 of our Hydrating Elixirs, 2-3 of our facial oils, our Control Serum, etc. And typically you can get 1-2 uses out of each can.
But the best way to really test out the entire Benedetta facial line is with our Starter Sets. Our Starter Sets are designed to last 3-4 weeks and are perfect for transitioning from a more chemical-laden brand to ours, and give you adequate time to really see a difference in your skin. Our Starter Sets come in 4 variations: Drier, Most, Oilier, and Anti-Inflammatory.

The Benedetta, Inc. line was made in a conscious attempt to help the skin’s ability to be its best. Creating holistic formulations, without the use of caustic, phenol, or chemically derived means is the earmark of our intention.
Benedetta, Inc. goes to great lengths to acquire the very best, Organic & Biodynamic ingredients that are processed in accordance with the vibrance and health of that botanical. Our formulas are developed for the majority of people with mild to normal skin imbalances. We go to great lengths to provide holistic and safe preparations that encourage our skin to be its best through natural, authentic formulations with no altering or negative effect.
With that said, “natural” is not synonymous with less reactive, in fact the contrary is often experienced in those not accustomed to clean unadulterated products. Our products are different from other natural products you may have tried and generally are more potent. Anyone can have a histamine reaction and allergic response from a myriad of external causes including botanicals.
If on the other hand you are not allergic, but instead break out with acne blemishes, you may go through an acclimation period and “detox” before experiencing benefits, lasting from 3-21 days.
If you...
If you answer YES to any of the above, it is possible that our 100% botanical skin care preparations may cause a reaction. We suggest if this is your first time trying any of our products that you opt for a smaller or sample size over our full size products. As a holistic line of personal care, Benedetta, Inc. cannot guarantee that the combined use of synthetic and pharmaceutical topical applications will work synergistically with Benedetta, Inc. From our standpoint it is the opposite and may not compliment, but instead contraindicate.
That's right! Our products have never been and never will be tested on animals. All our products are 100% cruelty-free, paraben-free, plasticizer-free, and synthetic fragrance-free.
All our products are made with 100% botanical ingredients with the one exception of Bee Propolis which we use in our Control Crème and our Crème Cleanser for Most Skin.
Our Customer Care Team is available by chat, email at Sales@Benedetta.com and by telephone at +1 (707) 665 - 3904. We recommend taking a look at our dedicated FAQ section to find answers to your questions/concerns.
If you can't find what you're looking for or if you're not sure what to look for in the first place, please feel free to reach out!
