Adverse Reaction & Medical Documentation Policy

At SNI NATURAL HAIRCARE, We prioritize the health, safety, and satisfaction of our customers. All our products are carefully formulated using natural and ethically sourced ingredients, and we strive to maintain the highest standards of quality, compliance, and transparency in accordance with the UK Cosmetic Products Regulation and relevant consumer protection laws.

While our products are dermatologically friendly and extensively tested, individual skin and scalp sensitivities can vary. In the rare event that a customer experiences any form of adverse reaction or concern following the use of our products, we are committed to addressing the matter seriously and responsibly. However, in order to proceed with any investigation, refund, replacement, or claim-related request regarding an alleged reaction or issue, the following terms must be met in full:

Mandatory Submission of Medical Evidence

Customers are required to provide legitimate, clear, and dated medical documentation from registered medical professionals and relevant institutions. This is a non-negotiable requirement to ensure authenticity and to assist us in conducting a proper internal safety review. The required documents include, but are not limited to:


– A full report detailing the symptoms experienced, date of onset, areas affected, and the GP's professional opinion linking the symptoms to the product in question.

– An assessment from a certified dermatologist (if referred or directly consulted), explicitly diagnosing the skin, scalp, or hair-related reaction, with an expert opinion on the likely causative agent(s).


– If the issue pertains specifically to the hair or scalp, a report from a certified trichologist (hair and scalp specialist) must be submitted, outlining the condition and possible triggers.

– Documentation showing results from a patch test, allergy screening, or sensitivity test that indicates reactivity to any ingredients commonly used in natural hair care or skincare products.

– Any official diagnosis from a healthcare facility or private clinic indicating a medically recognized reaction (e.g., contact dermatitis, scalp folliculitis, chemical burn, etc.).

– Dated, clear photos showing the condition or reaction, before and after use of the product, must accompany the medical reports. These should not be edited, filtered, or altered in any way.


– A written explanation from the customer including the date of purchase, product batch number (if available), how the product was applied, the duration of use, and any other hair or skincare products being used concurrently.

Time Frame for Reporting

21 days of the initial report to allow a fair and complete assessment.

Important Notes

UK Seller Rights & Consumer Protection

This policy is aligned with the rights of the seller under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and the UK Cosmetic Products Regulation (Schedule 34 of the Product Safety and Metrology Statutory Instrument 2019). While consumers have the right to report issues and request remedies, sellers equally reserve the right to validate such claims with appropriate evidence before any commercial action is taken.

As a responsible UK-based business, we are fully committed to consumer safety but equally bound to protect the integrity of our brand and prevent misuse of return/refund policies.

Should you have any further questions or require assistance in understanding this policy, please feel free to contact our support team.

Thank you for understanding and for choosing SNI HAIR CARE.

Delivery & Returns

We use my Hermes tracked deliver for free delivery parcels. If you select next day deliver or order over £75, your order is sent by DHL next day service at just £4.50 (free over £75). We would suggest using this paid service should you not wish to use my Hermes. Orders are received 1-3 days after dispatch by my Hermes. DHL next day service is 90% the next day but could be the following day. Please place your orders as soon as possible as we are not responsible for any delays and this does reflect our customer service as delivery services are a separate business.

Dispatch is same day or up to 72 hours (working hours) during sale or busy periods.

International Orders are posted at a flat fee of £17 and we use the most appropriate courier service for your country. Usually First Direct. This is always tracked service but from point to point. This may take 3-15 working days but may be up to 2 months during Black Friday and Christmas/NewYears.

Postage is on weekdays only 9-5pm.

Eid sales, Black Friday sales and Christmas period can alter these schedules but we work to post out as soon as possible.

If a product is out of stock but due back in within 7 days, we will post this on social media or directly contact you if it is a next day or urgent order. Over 7 days and you will be notified before purchasing where possible.

If your order is late our customer services team will be happy to assist you further. We suggest you contact us to ensure the speediest response – we aim to respond within 24 hours of you contacting us on working days, however this may be up to 72 hours in busy periods.

If you believe your order has been lost, please contact us with your order number.

SNI natural hair care is not responsible for the parcel once it has left our facility.

Corona/ Covid-19 impact on SNI natural hair care business
