Product FAQs

Are PA’s products certified organic?

Province Apothecary’s products are not certified organic by the USDA. Instead we insure our ingredients are of the highest quality and are a mix of certified and non-certified organic ingredients. The label on your PA product will say which ingredients are certified, but this does not mean that the other ingredients are not organic. To be certified organic is a long and expensive process, and some of our small, local suppliers do not find it worthwhile to go through this. We know our suppliers hold their products to a high standard of purity.

Why is it important to choose organic products like PA?

\Your skin is the largest organ of your body and absorbs what you put on it. The chemicals used in many commercial products contain pesticides and these non-organic ingredients can have harmful effects on the body, filling it with toxins. We believe you should treat your body well and avoid these potentially harmful toxins.

Do you test on animals?

No, never. We are proud to be certified cruelty-free by the Leaping Bunny Program.

Are your products vegan?

All of our products are vegan except for our balms. These balms contain beeswax, which is not a truly vegan ingredient. All other products are certified vegan.

I have sensitive skin; are PA’s products going to work for me?

Our products are formulated to be perfect for sensitive and problem skin. While it is impossible to predict how everyone’s skin will react, our pure and natural ingredients are meant to hydrate and soothe. There are no harsh preservatives, fillers, or medial ingredients that typically irritate sensitive skin. In fact, PA products are formulated by creator Julie Clark who has suffered from problem skin and allergies. See the About page for her story!

What if I have a negative reaction to a PA product?

Please contact us at info@provinceapothecary.com if you have an adverse reaction to one of our products so we can understand the problem and work with you to find a solution. We advise that you read the ingredients of your product carefully and do a small patch test before beginning use.
Please consult a physician before introducing new products into your routine if you suffer from a severe illnesses or are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Is your Sex Oil safe to use while trying to conceive?

Many of our clients have conceived while using Sex Oil. However, any lubricant may change your vagina's pH level and may affect sperm's ability to swim. We highly recommend consulting with your trusted healthcare practitioner about the products you use while trying to conceive or during pregnancy.

I'm pregnant; can I use PA products?

We recommend avoiding high concentrations of essential oils during your pregnancy. We have written a blog post for you with tons of info about using our products during pregnancy and which essential oils to avoid. Check it out here.

My product smells different than the last time I purchased it. Is something wrong?

We always strive to source the highest quality natural ingredients that are as fresh and unprocessed as we can find. Growing and harvesting botanical plants will vary from season to season depending on environmental changes. Nature is beautifully unique in this way because of its changeable qualities. This means that the fragrance or colour of our products may change from batch to batch, but the quality and effectiveness remains true to the product. We follow strict quality control procedures and blend all of our products in small batches, ensuring that the product you are using remains consistently true to our brand ethos.

How long will my PA products last?

Our products are made with all natural ingredients and no synthetic preservatives. Revitalizing + Nourishing Moisturizer will last 6 months. Invigorating + Balancing Toner will last 12 months. All other products have a shelf life of 24 months.

All products should be kept at room temperature away from direct sunlight.

Cancellation Policy

What is your Cancellation Policy?

To change or cancel your appointment please login to your Jane account and cancel or change your appointment. Please call 647-479-5525 or email info@provinceapothecary.com if you need help. Appointments can not be cancelled by email or leaving a message. Please cancel either by speaking to a PA team member or directly through your Jane account.

Please make changes or cancel your appointments at least 24 hours in advance or you will be charged the full cost of your treatment. If you are cancelling with less than 24 hours notice please call us at 647-479-5525. 

What if I am late for an appointment?

We understand that life happens and being on time is not always possible. Due to an extremely busy schedule, we cannot accommodate your appointment if you are more than 10 minutes late for a 30-minute appointment, or 15 minutes late for a 60-minute appointment. If you are late, we consider it a no show and we will need to reschedule your appointment. Our skin therapists want to ensure that every client gets the best service and this is not possible if they are dealing with time restraints. We reserve the right to refuse service if you arrive late for your scheduled appointment. 

Why do we charge the full treatment price if you miss your appointment?

Our cancellation policy is very important to us. To ensure a high level of quality in our treatments we limited the amount of appointments each practitioner offers daily. This is why we require at least 24 hours notice to change or cancel your appointment. 

Will you remind me about my appointment?

In addition to your confirmation email, you will receive a reminder 3 days prior to your appointment. Our appointment confirmations and reminders are a courtesy. Not receiving these does not exempt you from our late cancellation policy.
