The Ajne Sample Program - Risk-free Shopping
We encourage all customers to take advantage of our incredible sampling program to try any product that they have not tried before. We have created what some customers call "the Internet's best sampling program". The cost is nominal and is 100% applicable to any future purchase of $70 or more. Here is how it works: The program functions similarly to a wine tasting experience. For a small fee of $25 - which just covers our production cost - we invite customers to try any liquid item in a generous 3ml (1/8 oz) to 5ml (1/6 oz) size. When the samples arrive, the box contains a savings code applicable to the full cost of the samples. The savings code may be applied to any subsequent non-sample purchase of $70 or more made within 60 days of receipt of the samples. Please note that we offer samples at a rock bottom price to take the risk out of shopping online. As such, we reserve the right to substitute samples in the event that one sample is selected multiple times. Please note that a few of the rare blends may have a small surcharge, but any additional amount is included in the value of the savings certificate. While the sample sets cannot be returned or refunded - please consider that in the event that you didn't like any, you can order more and eventually use all your codes or buy a couple candles or jewelry or lotion and use the entire discount. We've done everything in our power to minimize any risk of trying our products. If you need help selecting the best samples for you, we invite you to contact us at Customer Service or call us at 831.624.2100 x 350. To view or learn more about samples, click here.

Ajne is all about natural and organic products - many certified organic. So what are some of the things about naturals that you should know? Ajne customers appreciate the things that prove Ajne is natural. We often use the example of grape drink versus fine wine. With chemically-enhanced grape drink, the color and flavor is the almost exactly same every batch. Conversely, wine is natural. Every vintage is slightly different. And red wine gets better with age.
Some shoppers like the concept or perhaps "the romance" of 100% natural...but they expect the clone-like consistency of a synthetic. That is not what natural is all about. For example:
(1) There may be very variations in color or scent from large batch to batch - especially if your original perfume is from 2005 and the new purchase is 2016 (for example). Why? Like a fine vintage wine, our blends deepen, meld and mature with aging. This is different than synthetics that tend to "go bad" if kept too long. Another reason is that plant crops vary slightly from year to year and distillation to distillation due to temperature, weather, soil conditions and other factors. This is called "terroir". (pronounced tear wah) Just as every organic peach or goumet meal doesn't look or taste exactly the same. Typically each batch will be identical or at least so close, it is virtually indistinguishable. However, we hope you will appreciate the fact that our process and product shows that we don't use synthetic chemicals, as well as how natural and authentic our formulas are.
(2) Distilled plant oils typically have some color. Roses are red. Violets are blue. And...orange is slightly orange and lime is slightly green. Sandalwood is brown. You get the picture. Synthetics on the other hand are often clear or light blue or pink or violet. This is an indication that it's a synthetic formula. Because our blends are 100% natural, they may contain natural plant color. They are meant to be applied to the skin. Once they meld with the skin, they don't typically affect clothing, but be aware not to spray formulas with color directly onto a white blouse for example.
(3) Again like fine wine, it is possible for some blends to have sediment - which may appear as particles in or at the bottom of the blend. This is natural vegetable material. A bit of a shake, will re-blend the formula. Resins on the other hand may coagulate and stick to glass. We can filter your formula upon request. However, some resins and sediment may reform. This does not affect the scent. If you have any concern, we invite you to contact us or order a sample set prior to purchasing a full size. Here's a link: sample info.
(4) We never add scent to skin care. However, some healing plant ingredients have scent like rose floral water and the azulene of blue chamomile.
(5) Some of the additive fortifiers also contain essential oils that have scent and color. For example, some chamomiles are deep blue. So if you select them, they may slightly alter the color or scent of the base formula such as a serum, lotion or cream.
(6) Natural preservatives: Our products are kept ultra-safe by a revolutionary, natural preservative system that includes highly effective ingredients in unique combinations to provide full-spectrum anti-microbial, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal protection. All products - even synthetic ones - last longer if kept away from direct sunlight, and away from humidity and heat. However, refrigeration is not necessary. Our perfumes will typically last many years and even deepen and improve with age. Skin care will typically last 2 years unopened. We recommend using your formula within 1 year of opening and 6 months of opening for certified organic items.
