  • topic 01

    the body in transition

    • Why body care for perimenopause?

      Because the body of a woman at fifty-two is not the same formulation brief as the body of a woman at thirty-five. From the late thirties on, estrogen begins a slow decline; the lipid layer of the skin holds less water, the barrier turns over more slowly, and the body skin in the thinnest places — the neck, the décolleté, the back of the hand — shows time first. Tideline is calibrated to that brief.

    • Is this for me at 41?

      Yes. The shifts begin earlier than the wellness internet generally admits — the late thirties for many women, the early forties for most. The line is designed to support body skin in transition, which is the long arc that begins well before the calendar word for it.

    • Is this for me at 65?

      Yes. The brief continues. Post-menopausal body skin holds less water still, and benefits more from the lipid replication and structural signalling the line is built around. There is no upper bound on a body that wants supplied.

    • Will it work after menopause?

      Yes — and arguably better, because the brief stabilises post-menopause. Use it for as long as you have a body. The formulas are designed to be kept on the shelf for thirty years, not for a particular hormonal moment.

  • topic 02

    the formulation

    • Is this hormonal?

      No. There are no hormones, no hormone-mimics, no phyto-estrogens at active concentrations. Tideline is cosmetic-only by language and by law. The formulation is calibrated to support the body skin of a woman in transition without engaging hormonal pathways.

    • Can I use this with retinoids?

      Yes — on the face, where you may already use them. We do not put retinoids in body care because body skin in transition does not tolerate them the way the face does. Daily Cream layers cleanly with whatever the face routine is doing.

    • Is it pregnancy-safe?

      The formulas avoid the ingredients pregnancy-safe lists most often flag — no retinoids, no salicylic acid, no essential oils at active concentrations. As with anything in pregnancy, run the ingredient list past your clinician.

    • Are these clinical claims or cosmetic claims?

      Cosmetic-only, on purpose. We say the formulas support, are calibrated for, and are designed for. We never say treat, cure, regrow, or repair. The line is built to live entirely inside cosmetic regulation, and the language follows.

  • topic 03

    the ritual

    • Do I need all three products?

      You can begin anywhere. The Wash is the gateway, the Butter does the most volume work, the Cream targets the thinnest body skin. The trio is calibrated as a sequence — same pH, same fragrance load, same finish — but each formula stands alone.

    • How long does each bottle last?

      At one shower a day, the Daily Wash lasts about eight weeks. The Daily Butter lasts about eight weeks at full-body application. The Daily Cream, at two pumps to the neck and décolleté daily, lasts about six weeks. Subscription cadence is set to those windows.

    • Can I skip the cream?

      Yes. The cream is the only formula in the line that targets a specific zone (neck and décolleté). If your priority is whole-body, the Wash and Butter are the two bottles that matter most.

  • topic 04

    subscription

    • How does subscribe & save work?

      Choose subscribe at checkout. The bottle ships at your chosen cadence — every four, six, or eight weeks — at the subscription price (a 14-23% discount depending on the SKU). The next ship date is always visible in your account; you can change, skip, or cancel any time, in one click.

    • Can I change frequency?

      Yes. Open your account, change the cadence, save. The change applies to the next shipment.

    • How do I cancel?

      One click in your account. No phone call, no email back-and-forth, no retention dance. You will not be asked why.

    • Is there a minimum commitment?

      No. You can cancel after the first shipment.

  • topic 05

    shipping & returns

    • Where do you ship?

      United States and Canada at launch. United Kingdom and EU shortly after. Australia in the second half of 2026. Sign up for the waitlist if your country is not yet on the list — your email tells us where to ship next.

    • What's the return window?

      Sixty days, opened or unopened. We make body care for the long game; sixty days is the minimum honest window for a woman to know whether a formula is for her.

    • Is shipping free?

      On orders over seventy-five dollars. The trio bundle and any subscription order qualifies automatically.
