3. Why isn't your website secure? The product pages and home pages of our website are not secured because no personal information is exchanged on those pages. You will notice in the pages that require personal, private information to be entered, the "Not Secure" notice in the address bar will change to a closed padlock. All pages that require information to be exchanged (cart pages, login page, checkout, etc.) are secured with an industry standard SSL certificate to ensure your information is safe and secure.
4. Where did Sydney Grace get its name? Sydney Grace was formerly Feather River Body, but we changed our name to reflect more who we are. Sydney Grace comes from the names of our three oldest daughters.
5. How do your eye shadows and pressed blushes come? Our pressed shadows and blushes come individually packaged in a paper sleeve to protect them during shipping. Each shadow and blush is pressed into a tin pan so that it is ready to pop into a magnetic palette.
6. Will I be charged for my back order item now or when it ships? Unfortunately, our system does not allow for a delayed charge on back ordered items, so you will be charged at the time of placing the order.
7. Are the micas used in your products ethically sourced? Yes, we only work with suppliers that ethically source mica and use ethical practices in all aspects of their production.
8. Are your pressed pigments eye safe? Yes, all our eye shadows are made with FDA eye safe ingredients. We began using the term "Pressed Pigment" for our metallic shadows before it was a widely used term to refer to straight pigments pressed into a pan with no filler (base, preservatives, etc.) that are largely not FDA approved for use around the eye.
