The first thing is to make sure you are logged into your account and choose “Redeem Clean Points” in your Shopping Cart, located above the total. Then, when checking out, make sure you aren’t using Shop Pay, Amazon Pay, or Pay Pal (those features haven’t synced with our Clean Points program yet). If you find you are under the Shop Pay express checkout process, then go ahead and click the “Checkout as a Guest” link that should be at the bottom of the page – it will not log you out of your Clean Points account, but it will bring you to our checkout process!
In our checkout process, there will be a text box on the right side of the screen for redeeming points – it looks like you should enter a code but it’s actually a drop-down menu where you can redeem different amounts based off your Clean Points balance! Choose your redeeming option and it will apply as you finish checking out. If you are on a mobile device, clicking the “Check Order Summary” link at the top of the checkout process should drop down the subtotal as well as the option to choose Clean Points to redeem. If you are still having issues with our redemption process, don’t hesitate to reach out to our customer service team by texting (857)-214-2123 or emailing us at help@follain.com!

If you’re asked to queue and don’t have time to wait, please make a pickup order to collect at a different time.

- 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.

If you have any other questions, please send us an email below.

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.

We’re proud to offer Terracycle Zero Waste Boxes in our store. 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.
