Frequently Asked Questions

What sets Taboodoir apart is our unapologetic commitment to transforming everyday routines into moments of sophisticated indulgence. While other brands focus solely on skincare benefits, we craft sensorial experiences that nourish both skin and soul. Each small-batch creation combines meticulously sourced, nature-derived ingredients with luxurious textures and intoxicating fragrances—because we believe self-care should feel like seduction, not a chore.

Every Taboodoir creation is meticulously handcrafted in intimate small batches to ensure peak potency and uncompromising freshness in each luxurious formula that graces your skin. We source only the finest botanicals and precious ingredients, maintaining our commitment to nature-derived formulations while ensuring safety and efficacy.

When absolutely necessary for product safety and stability, we incorporate carefully selected, paraben-free and formaldehyde-free preservatives—but we minimize this to the absolute essentials, keeping our indulgent creations as close to their natural origins as possible. (For more details, see FAQ "Do You Use Preservatives in Your Products?")

Every sensual jar, bottle, and tube is lovingly crafted in the heart of beautiful Louisville, Kentucky—home of legends like Muhammad Ali, Jennifer Lawrence, Hunter S. Thompson, the iconic Louisville Slugger, the thrilling Kentucky Derby... and now, your new obsession: Taboodoir!

To preserve the potency and luxurious performance of our carefully curated botanicals, precious butters, and premium oils, we recommend storing your treasured products in a cool, dry sanctuary away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Keep containers tightly sealed to maintain their fresh-crafted integrity and protect the delicate balance of active ingredients that deliver those indulgent, skin-transforming benefits you adore.

For optimal longevity and performance, think of your bathroom cabinet as a climate-controlled vault for your daily luxury ritual—because products this exquisite deserve the proper care to maintain their transformative powers.

Let's address the elephant in the boudoir — preservatives have developed quite the reputation lately. While we understand the concern, consider the seductive science behind our choices and the less-than-appealing alternative: skincare products vulnerable to contamination (definitely not the kind of chemistry we want with your skin).

Think of preservatives as your product's sophisticated bodyguard—an additional ingredient, yes, but one that's carefully chosen to protect the precious botanicals and luxurious formulations you adore. Without proper preservation, water-containing products become an inviting playground for bacteria, mold, and fungi — hardly the indulgent experience your skin deserves.

At Taboodoir, we've done our homework with the dedication of a beauty scientist and the discernment of a luxury connoisseur. When preservation is essential—particularly for products containing or exposed to water—we carefully select EcoCert- and Cosmos-approved, broad-spectrum preservative systems crafted from nature-identical and nature-derived ingredients. These sophisticated guardians are completely paraben-free and formaldehyde-free, providing optimized protection while honoring our commitment to natural sensuality.

Our Natural Preservation Promise: Your safety is our ultimate aphrodisiac. While we prioritize preservative-free formulations whenever possible, we believe in protecting your wellbeing above all. Products susceptible to microbial mischief receive our carefully curated, nature-derived preservation systems—ensuring your daily ritual remains as pure and transformative as intended.

Natural indulgence comes with its own timeline—and for the most luxurious reasons! Unlike mass-produced alternatives laden with synthetic ingredients and harsh preservatives, our handcrafted treasures contain precious botanicals and sensitive plant oils that maintain their potency for a beautifully limited window. This shorter shelf life is actually a testament to our commitment to pure, unadulterated luxury—absolutely worth every moment of indulgence.

Each small-batch creation is more delicately attuned to environmental factors like light, oxygen, humidity, and temperature—making proper storage essential to preserve their transformative powers.

Your Timeline to Bliss:

• Exfoliation products: 8-10 months of pure, skin-polishing perfection
• Body butters, lotions & creams: One full year of daily indulgence
• Bath Pleasures: While they maintain their integrity for a year, we recommend savoring them within 2-3 months to experience their full sensorial symphony and maximum potency

Storage Secrets: Keep your treasures tightly sealed, away from heat and direct sunlight, ideally at or below room temperature in a dry sanctuary.

The beautiful reality? Our products are crafted with immediate gratification in mind—made fresh to order so you can begin your love affair right away. And let's be honest, once you experience the Taboodoir difference, shelf life becomes delightfully irrelevant because these indulgent creations rarely last long enough to test their limits.

We believe in love at first touch! While we often include delightful samples with orders to introduce you to new obsessions, availability varies based on our current small-batch creations.

Our Sensual Scrub Soiree - A Flight of Temptation offers the perfect introduction to our exfoliation collection in TSA-approved sizes—ideal for maintaining your luxurious routine wherever your adventures take you.
