Do you offer complimentary samples of your products?

Yes, we provide complimentary samples of both our products in convenient sachet packaging. When you order our hair oil, you receive a complimentary 10ml sample of the skin oil, and with every order of the skin oil, you receive a 5ml free sample of the hair oil.
