1. Returns & Exchanges Policy
Our hygiene policy
Belly & Baby products are applied directly to skin — including the skin of babies and pregnant women. For the safety of every customer, we are unable to accept returns or exchanges of opened or used products. This is standard practice in the skincare industry.
When returns are accepted
We accept return or exchange requests within 48 hours of delivery only in the following cases:
- Product arrived damaged or broken
- Wrong product was delivered
- A product is missing from the package
- Product seal is broken or packaging is tampered with upon arrival
Returns are not accepted for:
- Change of mind or personal preference
- Skin reactions or sensitivity — we strongly recommend doing a patch test before full use
- Products purchased during a sale or promotional offer, unless received damaged or wrong
- Requests raised after 48 hours of delivery
- Products without original packaging, seals, or labels
How to raise a request
In order to raise a request to return your order, do the following:
Contact us within 48 hours of delivery at:
- Email: care@bellyandbaby.com
- WhatsApp: +91 83016 79966
- Working hours: Monday to Saturday, 10 AM – 6 PM IST
Please share the following when you write in:
- Your order number
- A clear photo or unboxing video of the product and outer packaging showing the issue
- A brief description of the issue
Requests submitted without this information or after 48 hours of delivery will not be eligible.
What happens after you raise a request
Our team will review your request within 48 hours. If approved, a reverse pickup will be arranged at no cost to you. The pickup is typically assigned within 24–48 hours and the product collected within 2–4 business days.
Please ensure the product is packed securely and returned with all original packaging, seals, labels, and accessories intact. Products damaged during return transit due to improper packing by the customer cannot be accepted.
Exchanges
Approved exchanges are subject to stock availability. If the required product is unavailable, a full refund will be issued instead.
2. Cancellation Policy
Cancelling your order
You may cancel your order within 2 hours of placement, provided it has not yet been dispatched. You can cancel your order from your "My Account" page in your account on the Belly and Baby website. Cancellation is only possible before we ship the order.
Once an order has been dispatched, it cannot be cancelled. You may raise a return request after delivery if it qualifies under Section 2.
Cancellations by Belly & Baby
In rare cases, we may need to cancel your order — for example, if a product goes out of stock after your order is placed or if there is a payment verification issue. We will notify you promptly and issue a full refund within 5–7 business days.
3. Refund Policy
When refunds are issued
Refunds are processed only after a return request has been approved and the product has been received and inspected at our facility.
Refund timelines
Refunds are initiated within 5–7 business days of approval. Depending on your bank or payment provider, the amount may take an additional 3–5 business days to reflect in your account.
Refund method
Refunds are returned to the original payment method.
- Prepaid orders: Refunded to the original bank account, UPI, card, or wallet used at checkout. The GST component is included in the refund.
What is not refunded
- Forward shipping charges
- Reverse shipping charges, except where the return is due to our error (wrong or damaged product)
Refund not received?
If it has been more than 10 business days since your refund was approved and you have not received it, please first check with your bank or payment provider as processing times vary. If the issue persists, write to us at care@bellyandbaby.com with your order number and refund confirmation. We will resolve it within 5 business days of your escalation.
4. Adverse Reaction Reporting
We formulate our products to the highest safety standards. If you experience an unexpected skin reaction after using a Belly & Baby product, please stop use immediately and consult a dermatologist if needed.
We take all such reports seriously. Please write to us at care@bellyandbaby.com with the product name, batch number (found on the packaging), a description of the reaction, and when it occurred. We will log your report, investigate with our manufacturing and medical team, and respond within 5 business days. Reporting a reaction does not automatically qualify for a return or refund, but we will assess each case individually and with care.
