Medical Disclaimer

The information provided by Alternativ LLC on this website, our product labels, social media pages, newsletters, printed materials, blog posts, educational resources, and customer communications is intended for educational and informational purposes only.

Our goal is to educate consumers about natural skincare and provide handcrafted products made with thoughtfully selected ingredients. The information we provide should not be considered medical advice and should never replace the advice, diagnosis, or treatment of a qualified healthcare professional.

By purchasing or using our products, you acknowledge and agree to the terms of this Medical Disclaimer.

FDA Disclosure

The statements made regarding Alternativ LLC products have not been evaluated by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Our products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Any testimonials, educational materials, or customer experiences shared on our website or social media reflect individual experiences and should not be interpreted as medical claims or guarantees of results.

Cosmetic Products

Alternativ LLC manufactures cosmetic skincare products intended to cleanse, moisturize, protect, and improve the appearance of the skin.

Our products are not pharmaceutical drugs or medical treatments and should not be used as a substitute for professional medical care.

If you have concerns about a medical condition or skin disorder, please consult your physician or another qualified healthcare provider.

Individual Results May Vary

Every person's skin is different.

Factors such as age, skin type, allergies, medications, hormones, environment, lifestyle, and overall health may influence how your skin responds to a product.

Because of these individual differences, Alternativ LLC cannot guarantee specific results from the use of any product.

Ingredient Awareness

We strive to provide complete and accurate ingredient lists for every product we sell.

Customers are responsible for reviewing all ingredients before purchasing and using any product.

If you have known allergies or sensitivities, consult your healthcare provider before using products containing unfamiliar ingredients.

Natural ingredients can still cause allergic reactions in certain individuals.

Patch Testing

We strongly recommend performing a patch test before using any new skincare product.

To perform a patch test:

Apply a small amount of product to a discreet area of skin, such as the inside of your wrist or elbow.
Allow the product to remain on the skin for 24 hours.
Monitor the area for redness, itching, swelling, irritation, or other signs of sensitivity.
If irritation develops, discontinue use immediately.

Patch testing helps identify potential sensitivities before applying a product to a larger area.

Pregnancy & Nursing

Many of our products contain natural botanicals, herbs, essential oils, and other naturally derived ingredients.

If you are pregnant, nursing, trying to become pregnant, or under the care of a healthcare provider, we recommend discussing any skincare products with your physician before use.

Natural does not always mean appropriate for every stage of life or every individual.

eczema
psoriasis
rosacea
severe acne
autoimmune conditions
compromised skin
open wounds
recent surgical procedures
other medical conditions affecting your skin

please consult your healthcare provider before using new skincare products.
