Always stick on a dry cleaned wound and keep contact with the skin, do not go over the bandage (especially on the fingers) as you are used to, but as shown in the video.

We deliver to most European countries, including the UK and Ireland. The price for delivery is calculated in your basket based on the total weight of the package. Each country has different shipping rates. The shipping company we use works with the local couriers across the world including DHL, GLS or DPD and others. We always select the cheapest possible option and fastest delivery.

DELIVERY OF GLASS AND LIQUID PRODUCTS

Luxurious brands such as Lovinah and Terre Verdi are packaged in glass, and contain liquid contents. If anything happens to them, most couriers will not pay insurance because of this. We cannot take that risk as the products are expensive, which is why we must choose the courier that promises to reimburse us in case of accident, loss or theft. Having said, the courier is still cheaper than using the Czech Post Office service without tracking.

We cooperate with a private courier company in Czechia, Packeta, that uses GLS, DPD, UPS and other companies to safely and quickly deliver your precious packages. By clicking the link to their website above, you will be able to see the tracking widget on the right hand side of the page. Put your number in there and see where your parcel is right now. The delivery to most countries takes between 3-5 working days, but longer distances take longer time to deliver, of course.

ECOLOGICAL AND ZERO WASTE PACKAGING

Within Czechia and Slovakia we pack in ecological boxes filled with wooden wool. This packaging is both aesthetically pleasing and zero waste, but also more expensive than recycled/ reused boxes and traditional filling materials. However, when sending to other foreign countires we must add additional security and we were told the wooden wool may not be sufficient protection. We may need to individually wrap glass products or liquid products in bubblewrap or use plastic 'pillows' filled with air to avoid potential breakage during handling and transit. Once the courier has the package, what happens with it is out of our hands, which is why the complete zero waste packaging is not always possible. We apologise for this inconvenience.

FREE DELIVERY

Our online store is not a massive online ecommerce store, it is more of an online boutique with a select brands and products we believe in, and which may not be available everywhere. Producers usually make the products for us, fresh to order, and we focus on less known, but certified organic or 100% natural and very unique, brands with distinguished formulations. Hence, we cannot offer FREE shipping on orders of 50 or 100EUR.

Still, we think the courier's delivery prices are very reasonable for the packages up to 5kg, and we hope you will enjoy shopping with us.

Gratia Natura Team.

The PATCH brand was founded in 2016 by James Dutton. The impetus for this was his two sons - one had a patch allergy and the other hated having any antiseptic or healing product applied to his skin. After researching conventional patches, James discovered that there were a number of chemicals in their ingredients that were definitely not suitable for allergy sufferers, but should be avoided by the average user. He decided to invent a natural hypoallergenic patch that would not only protect the wound but also help speed up healing, eliminating the need to apply other healing products.

Conventional plasters are best avoided...

The main problem with conventional plasters is their virtually undetectable composition. Try googling the ingredients of the patches you have in your medicine cabinet at home or check the box. You'll probably find that the patches consist of a pad that is made of treated cotton and other natural and treated fibers. In most cases, this cotton is bleached with chlorine, similar to the way pads, tampons, and other sanitary products are.

The patch itself can be made of PVC, PE or PU, or fabric. In the case of plastic, although it is more or less waterproof, it again does not allow the wound to breathe and slows down the natural healing process. In the case of a cloth patch, the same problem with chemical chlorine bleaching is again present. The adhesive that the patches use to adhere to the skin are then usually either latex or acrylic based. Both substances can cause allergic reactions. In addition, animal ingredients are still mixed into some types of adhesives, making the patches unsuitable for vegans and sometimes even vegetarians.

What we do not see and practically do not find out is that the patch pad or the patch itself may be impregnated with other substances such as parabens, thimerosal and others, in addition to toxic bleaches.
