the practical part

Policies, in plain language.

Written to be read, not to be survived. If anything here is unclear, that is our fault — write to us and we will fix the wording.

Shipping

Shipping is free across India on every order, with no minimum. Here is what happens after you press pay.

01

Dispatch

Orders placed before 2pm IST on a working day are dispatched the same day. Anything after that, or on a Sunday or public holiday, goes out the next working day.

02

Delivery times

Once dispatched, expect:

· Metro cities (Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, Pune) — 2 to 4 working days.
· Other cities and towns — 4 to 7 working days.
· Remote pin codes and the North East — up to 10 working days.
03

Tracking

A tracking link is emailed and texted to you as soon as the parcel leaves our warehouse. If the tracking has not moved for three working days, write to us with your order number and we will chase the courier ourselves.

04

Cash on delivery

COD is available across most serviceable pin codes, with no additional fee. Prepaid orders receive an extra 5% off at checkout, which is our way of encouraging it — prepaid parcels move faster and fail less often.

05

Failed deliveries and wrong addresses

Couriers make three delivery attempts. If all three fail, or if the address is incomplete, the parcel returns to us and we will refund you in full minus nothing — we do not charge a return-to-origin fee. If you realise the address is wrong, tell us before dispatch and we will correct it.

06

Damaged in transit

If a bottle arrives leaking, cracked or with a broken seal, photograph it before you clean anything up and send us the photo within 48 hours of delivery. We replace it, and you do not need to send the damaged one back.

07

International

We do not ship outside India yet. Join our list and we will tell you when that changes.

Returns & refunds

Skincare is personal and a reaction is not your fault. Our rule is simple: if your baby's skin reacts to something we made, we refund it — opened, half-used, whatever the state of the bottle.

01

If your baby's skin reacts

Stop using the product. Write to us within 14 days of delivery, tell us which product and what you saw, and we will refund it in full. You do not need to return the bottle — dispose of it. We would rather have the information than the packaging.

02

Unopened products

Unopened, unused products with the seal intact can be returned within 14 days of delivery for a full refund. Write to us and we will arrange a free pickup from the delivery address.

03

What we cannot accept

For hygiene reasons we cannot accept:

· Opened products returned for reasons other than a skin reaction — for example, a change of mind or a dislike of the texture.
· Products past the period-after-opening mark on the carton.
· Products bought from a third-party seller or marketplace. Those returns go through that seller.
04

Refund timing

Once approved, refunds are issued to the original payment method within 5 to 7 working days. For COD orders we refund by bank transfer or UPI — we will ask for the details when we approve it. Bank posting times are outside our control and can add two or three days.

05

Bundles

If you return one product from a bundle, we refund it at its share of the bundle price rather than its full individual price. Return the whole bundle and you get the whole bundle price back.

06

Exchanges

We do not process exchanges directly. Return what you have for a refund and place a fresh order — it is faster than routing it through us.

Privacy

We collect what an order needs and one thing more — your email, if you agree to hear from us. Nothing else, and nothing sold.

01

What we collect

To fulfil an order: your name, delivery address, phone number and email. To take payment: nothing — card and UPI details go directly to our payment provider and never reach our servers.

If you write to us about a skin concern, your message may contain health information about your child. We treat that as sensitive, keep it in the support inbox only, and do not use it for marketing.

02

What we do not do

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal data. We do not build advertising profiles on your child. We do not share your health-related messages with anyone outside the team who answers them.

03

Who we share with

Only the companies that make an order work:

· Our courier partners — name, address, phone, so they can deliver.
· Our payment gateway — to process and, when needed, refund payment.
· Our email provider — to send order updates, and newsletters if you opted in.
04

Cookies

We use cookies that keep your cart working and basic, aggregated analytics to understand which pages people actually read. You can refuse non-essential cookies without losing the ability to shop.

05

How long we keep it

Order records are kept as long as tax and accounting law requires. Marketing emails stop the moment you unsubscribe, and support conversations are deleted on request.

06

Your rights

You can ask us for a copy of the data we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Email us and we will respond within 30 days. If you are unhappy with how we handled it, our grievance officer details are at the bottom of this page.

07

Grievance officer

Name, designation, email and registered postal address to be inserted before launch, as required under Indian law.

Terms of sale

The conditions you agree to when you buy from edababycare.com. Short, and none of it a surprise.

01

Who you are buying from

Eda Baby Care — registered entity name, registered address, CIN and GSTIN to be inserted before launch.

02

Prices and payment

All prices are in Indian rupees and include GST. We may change prices at any time, but never after you have placed an order. Prepaid orders receive an extra 5% off at checkout.

03

Order acceptance

Your order is an offer to buy. We accept it when we dispatch it. If something is out of stock or a price was listed in error, we may decline the order and refund you in full — we will always tell you why.

04

Products and claims

Our products are cosmetics, not medicines. They are formulated by a dermatologist to support the skin barrier; they do not treat, cure or prevent any disease. Nothing on this site is a substitute for advice from your paediatrician or dermatologist.

Patch test before first use, and stop immediately if skin becomes red, itchy or broken.

05

Photography and colour

We photograph products as honestly as we can, but screens differ and textures read differently in person. Small variations in shade or consistency between batches are normal for plant-derived formulations and are not a defect.

06

Liability

We stand behind our products and will refund any that cause a reaction. Beyond that, our liability is limited to the value of the order. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

07

Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by Indian law, and disputes are subject to the courts of the city of our registered office. Before that, please write to us — almost everything is solvable by email.
