People frequently highlight the excellent delivery service, noting that orders arrive quickly and are well-packaged. The overall service is often described as exceptional, with consumers finding the ordering process easy and the company trustworthy.

Packaging issues

Always love my Base Formula products ...but...would like to comment on packaging. Carrier oils - options are 100ml or 600ml. Something in between would be appreciated. I love the Aloe Vera butter with coconut oil. However, it's very difficult to get bits of it out of the foil packet. I feel a tub would be much easier.

Dear Catreena

Thank you for your order and for your feedback, which we appreciate. We are actually hoping to launch a 250ml carrier oil option in the near future so hopefully that might be more suitable for you. We've also passed your feedback re the pouches to our production team.

Very impressed

This company delivers quickly and supply lovely items. Have just tried their cucumber cleanser for the first time. I would rate it much better than the one i have been using for a few years now. It leaves your skin feeling clean and soft. The hydrolate again leaves your skin feeling good. I am definitely going to recommend these products.
