How fast do you dispatch?+

Orders placed on working days are handed to the carrier within 24 hours. Delivery times by region are in the table above.

Will I pay customs or import fees?+

No. Your order ships from within your own region, so it never crosses a customs border. The price you see at checkout is the final price, VAT included.

Can I change or cancel my order?+

We dispatch quickly, so write to us right away: hello@kkumida.ch (CH/LI) or hello@kkumida.eu (EU).

If your parcel hasn't left the warehouse, we can usually change the address or cancel. Once it has shipped, you can still return it. See Returns & exchanges.

Tracking & delivery

↑ Top
How do I track my order?+

You'll get a tracking link by email the moment your parcel ships. It's also under your account, in Orders. Nothing in your inbox? Check spam first.

Tracking says "delivered" but nothing arrived.+

Three quick checks solve most cases:

  • Look around the entrance, letterbox and any safe drop spot.
  • Ask neighbours, reception or the concierge.
  • Look for a notice card. It may be waiting at a pickup point.

Still nothing after 24 hours? Email your order number to hello@kkumida.ch (CH/LI) or hello@kkumida.eu (EU) and we'll open an investigation with the carrier.

My parcel arrived damaged, or something is missing or wrong.+

Contact us within 48 hours of delivery with your order number and photos: hello@kkumida.ch (CH/LI) or hello@kkumida.eu (EU). Please keep the packaging until it's resolved. We'll make it right quickly.

Returns & exchanges

↑ Top
What's your return policy?+

You have 14 days from delivery to return your order, no reason needed. Items must be unopened with the seal intact.

Always email us first, and we'll confirm the correct return address: CH/LI returns stay in Switzerland, EU returns stay in the EU. Never ship a return across the border, it will get stuck in customs.

Why sealed only? Skincare is a hygiene product. Once a seal is broken we can't resell it, so we can't take it back. Full details in our Returns & Refunds Policy.
My item is defective or not what I ordered.+

The sealed rule doesn't apply here. Email us within 48 hours with your order number and a photo, and we'll find the best solution for you, whether that's a replacement or a refund.

Can I exchange an item?+

The fastest way: return the sealed item and place a new order for the one you want. Not sure what to pick instead? Email us before ordering and we'll help you choose.

Who pays for return shipping?+
  • Changed your mind: return postage is on you. Any tracked service works.
  • Defective or wrong item: contact us first and we'll take care of you.
When do I get my refund?+

Within 14 days of your return request, to your original payment method. Your bank may need a few extra days to show it.

Products & ingredients

↑ Top
Are your products authentic?+

Every single one. We source only through official brand channels and authorised distributors, and everything is compliant with EU and Swiss cosmetics regulations.

What is the KKUMIDA Six?+

We analyse the full ingredient list of every product we stock, and each product earns the badges it deserves. Six badges, no more:

Fragrance-free Alcohol-free Vegan Clean ingredients Pregnancy-friendly Dermatologically tested

You'll see them on every product page. No product carries a badge it hasn't earned. Read the full story behind the Six →

Where can I see the full ingredients (INCI)?+

On every product page, in the Ingredients tab. The complete list, exactly as the brand publishes it.

Are your products cruelty-free and vegan?+

Cruelty-free: all of it. It's not a range we offer, it's the whole shop.

Vegan: look for the badge. Some formulas contain honey, beeswax or lanolin. Products without any animal-derived ingredients carry the Vegan badge.

Is it safe for sensitive skin?+

Start with the Fragrance-free and Alcohol-free badges, then look for Dermatologically tested.

Sensitivity is personal, so patch test anything new: a little on the inner forearm, wait 24 hours. Unsure? Email us and we'll go through it with you.

I'm pregnant or breastfeeding. What can I use?+

Look for the Pregnancy-friendly badge. We screen each formula against ingredients commonly advised against during pregnancy and only badge what passes.

The badge makes shopping easier, but it isn't medical advice. Please check with your doctor or midwife before adding anything new.

Routine help

↑ Top
I have no idea what I need. Help?+

Three easy ways:

  • Check the product page. Every product has its routine step and how to use it, written out in full.
  • Take our Skin Match quiz. A few questions about your skin, and we suggest a routine that fits.
  • Email us. Tell us about your skin at hello@kkumida.ch (CH/LI) or hello@kkumida.eu (EU) and we'll write back with real suggestions.
What order do I layer things in?+

Thinnest to thickest: cleanser → toner → essence or serum → eye cream → moisturiser → SPF in the morning.

At night, swap SPF for a richer cream or sleeping mask. Each product page also tells you exactly where that product goes in your routine.

How often should I use masks and exfoliants?+
  • Sheet masks: 2–3 times a week, or daily if your skin is happy.
  • Exfoliants (AHA/BHA): once a week to start, 2–3 times a week at most.
  • Clay masks: once a week, on oily areas.

Tight or stinging skin means you've overdone it. Pause the exfoliants and keep it simple until it settles.

Can I mix acids and retinol?+

Not in the same routine. Give them separate nights with a recovery night in between, and wear SPF every morning, since both make skin more sun-sensitive.

Unsure how to fit your products together? Email us your routine and we'll map it out.

Which payment methods do you accept?+

Do you offer gift cards?+

Yes, the KKUMIDA Glow Gift Card. It arrives by email and lets them pick what their own skin actually wants.

Can I use a discount code and my points together?+

One code per order, so use whichever saves you more. How points work is in the Rewards programme.
