does this product come with a foil seal under the cap?
Hello Jaylen, Thank you for your question. Depending on the individual product, a seal may be included for filling purposes. If a seal is required, it will typically be located underneath the product lid. However, please note that not all products have this feature—for example, cleansers generally do not include an inner seal. Additionally, it’s important to clarify the purpose of the silver stickers you may notice on the outside of the packaging. These stickers are not designed to serve as safety seals. Instead, they are used to prevent unauthorized selling or distribution of our products by unapproved retailers. I hope this information provided clarity. Please feel free to contact us with any additional questions or concerns. We are happy to help. Kindly, Sandra
