Frequently Asked Questions
ORDERS
What should I do if I did not receive a confirmation email after placing my order?
After placing an order, you will receive a confirmation email at the email address provided during checkout. Kindly verify that your email address is complete and accurate. If it is, check your spam folder in case the confirmation email was directed there. If you have not received the confirmation email and your email address is accurate and not in your spam folder, please contact us at customersupport@holisticvybez.com, and we will gladly resend it to you.
What is the expected shipping timeframe for my order?
Our gel and soap products are freshly made, and therefore require 3-8 business days for processing before they can be shipped.To ensure that sea moss gels do not remain in transit over the weekend, they are shipped exclusively from Monday to Wednesday. Dry products, on the other hand, have a 3-5 business day processing time and are shipped from Monday to Friday, excluding weekends and holidays.
Please note that the processing time for any orders placed after 12PM EST (Eastern Standard Time) will commence on the following business day. For instance, an order made on Friday after 12PM will be processed on the next business day, which is Monday since we are closed on weekends. Similarly, orders placed on Monday after 12PM EST will begin processing on Tuesday.

SHIPPING
What are the courier services you use for shipping?
Our company utilizes two courier services, namely UPS and USPS. While both UPS and USPS can be used to ship dry products, we exclusively use UPS to ship gel products. This is to guarantee that all orders containing gel products will be delivered within two business days.
Please take note that if you are buying sea moss gel, it is essential to provide a physical shipping address during checkout to avoid any shipping delays. UPS does not support delivery to P.O. Box destinations, so kindly refrain from using such addresses.
I paid for expedidted shipping. Where is my order?
Processing time and shipping time are two entirely different things. Although our processing times have decreased, we cannot speed up our processing time.
Processing time is the time it takes to prepare an order for shipment after the order has been placed.
Shipping time is the time it takes for the package to be transported from the seller to the buyer's location after the package has been shipped.
Shipping guideline:
USPS Priority: 1-3 business days
USPS First Class: 2-3 business days
UPS Next Day Air: 1 business day
UPS 2nd Day Air: 2 business days
UPS Ground: 1-5 business days

Holistic Vybez offers the option to protect your package by purchasing Route. Route protects against items marked as delivered but they haven’t been delivered. If you have purchased route we will file a claim for you. If you have chosen NOT to purchase route, you will have to file a claim directly with the carrier.
My package has shipped and there is an error in the address. What should I do?
Unfortunately, once our packages ship we have no way of adjusting the delivery address. You can attempt to reach out to the postal carrier to have them update the address. If the package is returned to us, we would be happy to reship it to the correct address.
If your address is undeliverable, incomplete or incorrect, the package will be returned to us and you will be responsible to pay the shipping costs again. If you would like a refund for the returned items, the shipping costs are non-refundable. NOTE: This applies to dry products only. Holistic Vybez does NOT offer refunds, returns or exchanges for Sea Moss Gel products due to their perishable nature. However, we will offer a 40% discount code for your next purchase.
My shipping label was created but i dont see any updates. What's the delay ?
To ensure a more streamlined and organized order processing, we typically print and sort shipping labels a few days before the actual shipping date. This approach helps us manage the high volume of orders that we receive more efficiently.
My order has not arrived by the estimated delivery day. why is it late?
Unfortunately, our system generates the "estimated delivery date" as soon as the shipping label is printed. For a more precise delivery date, please check the tracking number directly on UPS or USPS websites after a few days.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we ship worldwide. However, we are not responsible for additional fees related to customs. Once your order has been packed and shipped, Holistic Vybez cannot assume responsibility for import duties or customs fees. If you decide not to pay the additional fee upon delivery, we cannot issue you a refund.
HOW CAN I PURCHASE YOUR SEA MOSS GEL, I AM NOT FROM USA?
As much as we loved to, unfortunately we cannot ship the gels elsewhere outside the US as it will spoil. We do ship worldwide for all of our dry products.
PRODUCTS
Where is your sea moss sourced?
We’ve thoroughly vetted countless sea moss suppliers to provide our customers with the most authentic and natural sea moss on the market. We have a reliable direct source in St. Lucia that we source all Holistic Vybez sea moss from.
Can children take sea moss?
Absolutely! Children should only take 1 sea moss gummy or 1 teaspoon of our sea moss gel once a day.
What is the difference between the 3 gels?
St Lucia Gold is strictly our gold sea moss made into a gel. It has the an abundance of essential minerals needed.
Elderberry and Soursop Blend is our best seller which has the added benefits of extra vitamin C, cancer and bacteria fighting properties, and an extra boost of antioxidants that help combat infections.
Electric Dragon is our top of the line nutrient packed gel. It has bladderwrack and burdock root which provides an abundance of minerals our bodies need. It also has dragonfruit as well which is high in fiber and aids in regulating blood sugar, making this gel an antioxidant powerhouse. All of our gels are relatively tasteless. They have a hint of agave which acts as a natural preservative. However, it is very subtle and not overwhelming.
What is the difference in the raw sea moss colors?
So sea moss naturally comes in color. The way the gold color is achieved is by drying it in the sun to “bleach” the color out. The full spectrum and royal purple naturally have more phytonutrients and antioxidants because of the color. However, they both have an abundance of minerals that sea moss offers.
Is this sea moss Chondrus Crispus?
It is Eucheuma Cottonii which is grown in warm climates most notably around Jamaica and St. Lucia. It is highly available and comes with high nutritional content. All of our sea moss gels are made with Eucheuma Cottonii. We also offer Chondrus Crispus known as the Irish Moss in raw form. However, both are extremely beneficial for you
SHELF LIFE & STORAGE
How long does the raw sea moss last?
Sea moss can last for one year if stored in a cool, dry place, like your kitchen cabinet.
How long does the sea moss gel last?
Sea moss gel must be refrigerated! Typically, sea moss gel lasts 3-4 weeks. If you order more than one jar of sea moss gel, we suggest freezing the jars you aren’t using in order to extend the shelf life. Sea moss gel can last up to 6 months in the freezer!
As soon as you receive your gel, refrigerate it for 5 hours before use. We freeze all gels before shipping and securely wrap them in an insulated mailer and added packaging. However, you'll want to refrigerate for a few to make sure it will return to it's intended consistency. Gels should be used within 3-4 weeks.
How long does the sea moss gummies last?
The sea moss gummies should be stored in a dry, cool place like you would any other vitamin or supplement. Our sea moss gummies have a shelf life of 2 years. However, trust us, they won’t last that long because they taste so good!

in preparing sea moss why do you use boiling water?
Sea Moss is typically soaked in water to rehydrate it and remove any debris or impurities. While some people prefer to use room temperature water, others opt for hot or boiling water for a quicker soaking process.
Boiling water can actually be beneficial for Sea Moss as it helps to break down the tough cellular structure of the seaweed, making it easier to blend and use in various recipes. Additionally, boiling water can help to sterilize the seaweed and remove any potential bacteria or contaminants.
While it's true that some nutrients can be lost when food is exposed to high temperatures, the impact of boiling water on the nutrient content of Sea Moss is minimal. In fact, many of the nutrients in Sea Moss, such as iodine, potassium, and iron, are relatively stable and not easily degraded by heat.
