FAQ
Questions, Answered Softly
— Shipping —
Q1. How long does shipping take within the
U.S.?
Most orders leave our small studio within 1–2
business days, and arrive in 3–6 business days
via standard U.S. shipping. You'll get a
tracking link the moment your parcel is on its
way — I tend to send a short note with it
too.
Q2. Is there free shipping?
Yes. Standard shipping is on us for U.S.
orders over $75. Below that, we keep the rate
as honest as we can — no inflated handling
fees.
— Products —
Q3. Are these authentic Korean products?
Every product on the shelf is sourced through
verified Korean suppliers and authorized
channels. I personally use each one before it
goes live — if I can't trace where it came
from, it doesn't make it onto Sodam.
Q4. Will the packaging be in Korean?
Some of it, yes — and I think that's part of
the beauty. Each product ships with a small
English ingredient and use card from me, so
nothing feels like a guess. Consider the
Korean text part of the ritual.
Q5. I have sensitive / combination / mature
skin — will these work for me?
The current shelf leans gentle on purpose.
Most pieces (the ginseng toner, snail essence,
hanji hand cream) suit sensitive and
combination skin beautifully. For mature skin,
the marine collagen and the camellia hair oil
are quiet favorites of mine. If you're
unsure, message me — I'll tell you honestly
what I'd reach for.

Q6. How did you choose these eight products?
Slowly. Each one I've used for at least a full
season, most for years. Some came from my
mother's parcels. Some I found in Korean
pharmacies and quietly tested across four
countries. If a product didn't earn its place
on my own shelf, it didn't make it here.
Q7. When will you add new products?
Only when something is genuinely ready. I'd
rather grow the shelf by one honest piece a
season than fill it for the sake of a launch.
Subscribers to The Sodam Letter hear first
when something new is being considered.
— Returns & Exchanges —
Q8. What is your return policy?
Unopened products may be returned within 14
days of delivery for a full refund (minus
original shipping). Opened skincare can't be
returned for hygiene reasons, but if something
arrived damaged or simply doesn't feel right
for you, please reach out — I handle these one
by one.
Q9. How do I start a return or exchange?
Email hazelco.store@gmail.com with your order
number and a sentence about what happened.
I'll reply within one business day with a
return label and next steps. No forms, no
scripts.

Q10. How can I follow along or reach you
directly?
You can find me on Instagram at @sodamandco —
mostly hands, light, bottles, and small notes
from the studio. For anything personal — a
question about a product, a request, a hello —
hazelco.store@gmail.com comes straight to me.
