What skin type is CLE products for?  

CLE products are designed with the needs of sensitive skin in mind but are suitable for all skin types.

Are you cruelty-free?

Always! 

What is the Leaping Bunny standard? 

The Leaping Bunny standard is a voluntary pledge that cosmetic, personal care, and household product companies based in the US or Canada make to clear animal testing from all stages of product development. A company's manufacturers and ingredient suppliers must make the same pledge. The result is a product guaranteed to be 100% free of new animal testing. All Leaping Bunny companies must be open to independent audits, and commitments are renewed annually.

Is CLE Leaping Bunny certified? 

Yes! As of May 2024, all CLE products are Leaping Bunny certified. We have always been a vegan-friendly and cruelty-free brand.

Are your products vegan?

Yes!

Where are CLE products made?

All of our ingredients are sourced from Korea using the latest Korean beauty technology. We work with top-tier labs in Korea dedicated to developing highly effective, quality products.

Are your products paraben-free?

All of our products are paraben-free and phthalate-free

Are your products gluten-free?
All of our products are gluten-free

Are your products ethically made?
We hold our manufacturers to high standards, when it comes to ethics and the environment. We are committed to staying informed and present - creating products made with compassion for people and the planet. 

We work with CleanHub which is an organization that empowers brands to take meaningful action against plastic pollution by ensuring it doesn't end up in our oceans or landfills.  We are dedicated to minimizing environmental impact and continuously strive for plastic neutrality.  To read more about our partnership with CleanHub, click here.

What kind of sunscreen do you use?
Our CCC Cream contains chemical and mineral ingredients in the sunscreen.

Chemical ingredients: Octisalate and Octinoxate
Mineral ingredients: Titanium Dioxide

Unfortunately, Octinoxate is not reef safe. The Reef Safe designation varies by region and country. Our CCC Cream is reef safe in Australia but not Hawaii. We are continuing to aim for cleaner cosmetics and skincare!

Do your products contain silicones?

Our CCC Cream contains silicone. The silicones are Cyclopentasiloxane, Cyclohexasiloxane, Dimethicone and Phenyl Trimethicone.  Silicones help improve skin texture and create a barrier on the skin that prevents transepidermal water loss.

I need help finding my CCC Cream shade!

Not a problem! Email us at cs@clecosmetics.com with a few selfies without makeup in natural lighting. We can take a look and suggest the right CCC Cream shade for you!

I just ordered the Melting Lip Powder and noticed it’s only filled halfway? 

Our Melting Lip Powder is filled to the brim of the container. Due to the natural characteristic of our Melting Lip Powder, the powder compresses over time, decreasing the powder level and settling as is. This has no effect on the integrity of the product.  We ensure quality checks for all of our products. 

Can I use CLE products if I’m pregnant or breastfeeding? 

Yes, you can but we recommend consulting with your doctor before introducing any new products or ingredients into your routine while pregnant or breastfeeding. 

Do your products contain fragrance?

All of our products are synthetic fragrance-free.  We use essential oils selectively to lightly scent our products.

Transit time for domestic orders is 2 to 8 business days. Transit time for international orders varies by destination, ranging from 10-20 business days. You have the option to select expedited shipping for an additional fee, but it does not shorten the time to process your order; it only speeds up shipping.

Rest of the World: Shipping cost will vary by destination and order size.

What should I do if my order was returned to CLE?

If your order was returned to the sender for any reason, you will receive an email from our customer service team to re-ship the goods once it has been delivered back to our fulfillment center. 

Once an item has been marked as returned to the sender by the shipping carrier, the only option is to wait for it to arrive back at our fulfillment center. We are unable to intercept the package at this point in time.

What should I do if my order was lost or stolen?

If the tracking status of your order states that your package has been delivered but you did not receive it, there is a possibility the postal network pre-scanned your package as delivered before the actual delivery. Please allow USPS approximately 7 business days from the postmark date to complete the delivery.

If you don’t receive your package by then, please contact USPS directly to file a claim. CLE is not responsible for missed deliveries or redeliveries. 

Where will my order ship from?

Why am I being charged a customs fee?

Orders outside the US may incur customs clearance fees and taxes. Each country has its own regulations, so contact your local postal service or customs office for details. International customers are responsible for all customs-related charges and return shipping fees if the package is refused due to customs fees.

CLE is not responsible for lost packages or untraceable return shipments.

Please note that customs delays may occasionally occur.

We strive to ensure you are satisfied with your purchase. If you're not happy, we offer a 30-day return policy from the date your order was delivered. Below, you will find the details of our return policy, package protection, and how each applies to your order.

Eligibility: You can return items within 30 days of delivery. Items marked as "final sale" are not eligible for returns or exchanges. Only products purchased directly from clecosmetics.com are eligible for returns or exchanges. For purchases made through other retailers, please contact the retailer directly.

Bundles: Items purchased as part of a bundle, such as Daily Duo, must be returned in full to be eligible for a return or exchange. We do not accept partial returns of bundle items.

To initiate a return, please visit our Returns Portal.

Free Returns + Package Protection (Available in U.S. Only)

By selecting this option at checkout, you receive additional benefits regarding both the security of your shipment and return shipping costs. Here’s how it works:

Free Return Shipping: You are eligible for free return shipping on exchanges or store credit. Please be aware that for refunds, you are responsible for the cost of the return label.

Package Protection: This protects your order from being lost, stolen, damaged, or shipped incorrectly.

If you opted out of this coverage, you will be responsible for the cost of the return shipping label when returning items for an exchange, store credit, or refund.

Refunds and Store Credit

Once your return is accepted, we will send you a return shipping label, which will be valid for 28 days. Please note that items sent back without first requesting a return will not be accepted or eligible for a refund. CLE is not responsible for lost packages or untraceable return shipments.

Refunds or store credits will be issued as soon as we receive your returned package. Please allow 3 to 5 business days for refunds to appear in your account.

Why was I charged more than once for an order?

If you used a credit card to place an order and it declined for any reason (including but not limited to invalid CVV, expiration date, billing address, etc), you may see a pending charge on your account. If this happens, the pending charge will clear from your bank statement within 1-5 business days. 

Unfortunately if this happens, we are not able to do anything on our end. If you're concerned about the pending charges, your best option is to contact your bank.

My credit or debit card is not working.

If your credit or debit card is not working during checkout, please verify that the following is correct:

• Credit or debit card number
• Expiration date
• CVV/card security code
• Cardholder name
• Billing address matches exactly as it appears on your credit card statement
• Sufficient funds or credit available

If you still are having issues, the best option is to reach out to your financial institution/bank directly or to use an alternate card or form of payment.

Do the prices shown on product pages include tax?

Prices shown on product pages do not include tax or shipping fees. Tax is calculated at checkout based on your shipping address and relevant tax rules.
