Store hours may vary by location, please check for information on our store page.
No. Customers are free to arrive at the store at any time, but please understand that you may be asked to queue if our in-store capacity limits are reached. Follain’s approach is to make sure that every customer has a personal interaction with an educator, so we can provide a safe experience for you and our store teams. If you’re asked to queue and don’t have time to wait, please make a pickup order to collect at a different time.
Products on shelves are for display purposes only. Please do not touch or use products on shelves.

Our Clean Points program newly started on March 2, 2020. This is a new program for all of our customers and we did not pull in past orders for Clean Points. Any new purchases from the launch of the program moving forward are eligible for earning Clean Points as long as you have an active online account with us!
Earning rewards is easy, simply create an account and you will begin earning points.
In addition to creating an account, you can earn Clean Points in so many ways! Shop with us online or in store, follow @follain on Instagram, attend select store events, recycle products in our stores, and refer your friends. You don’t need to be logged in to earn, as long as you have an account you will earn Clean Points.
- Make 5 refills of your 8oz soap bottles in store to get 100 clean points
- Make 5 refills of your 16oz soap bottles in store to get 100 clean points

Clean Points may be redeemed online and in stores in increments of 200. Once you hit that milestone, you can start applying your clean points for a discount on your purchase during checkout. Every 200 clean points is equal to $6. You must have an account to redeem points.
Clean Points cannot be redeemed if you use ShopPay. If you are brought to ShopPay please exit or go back a page to go through our regular checkout and redeem your Clean Points.
If you have any other questions, please send us an email below.
You earn points by purchasing any product in store or online, as long as you have an account. Clean Points are rewarded after any redemptions and applicable discounts. Taxes and shipping costs are not included in Clean Points Rewards. Using a gift card as a payment method will not earn any clean points.
You may not combine other Follain offers (Gifts with Purchase and other sales) when redeeming your clean points in stores or online. If you make an order that qualifies for a gift with purchase but want to redeem Clean Points instead, simply remove the free product from your cart and you can easily redeem Clean Points.
Check your Clean Point balance by logging into your account or visiting our Clean Points page. You can see the points you’ve earned in the box labeled Clean Points History.
We’re proud to offer Terracycle Zero Waste Boxes in all of our stores. Zero Waste Boxes are Terracycle’s solution for hard-to-recycle waste—like product packaging—that cannot be recycled through regular municipal recycling programs. You’ll receive 100 points each time you bring in empty product packaging to recycle, whether it’s a single travel size or an entire bag of full size empties. A purchase during the same visit is required to receive recycling points. If you don’t live near a store, please email help@follain.com and we will assist you in recycling your products. You’ll still receive recycling points as long as you make a qualifying online purchase and reference an order number.
Yes, Clean Points expire if you don’t earn, redeem or refer for one calendar year. Don’t worry, we’ll remind you if you have unused points about to expire.
If you cancel your order, you will not earn Clean Points on that purchase and your balance will be updated once the order is completed. If you redeemed Clean Points on a canceled order, those points will be credited back to your account.
If you return a product, the points earned from that product purchase will be deducted from your account. If you exchange one product for another, you will receive points for the latter (i.e. the product you exchange for).
Our customer service team would be more than happy to assist you! You can email them below and they will get back to you within 24 business hours.
