Product & Safety Disclaimer
Last Updated: September 2026
Flat Tire Farm is a small, Alaska-based business offering handcrafted products made in small batches with care.
This Product & Safety Disclaimer provides important information about our handmade soaps, lotions, shampoo bars, and other personal-care products. Please review the individual product description, ingredient information, directions, and warnings before purchasing or using any product.
Handmade Products
Our products are handcrafted in small batches. Because of their handmade nature, variations are normal.
Color, scent, size, shape, weight, texture, design, and appearance may vary slightly from batch to batch or from photographs shown on our website.
These natural variations are part of what makes handmade products unique and are not necessarily product defects.
Ingredients, Allergies & Sensitivities
Please carefully review the ingredient information provided for a product before purchasing or using it.
Do not use a product if you know you are allergic or sensitive to one of its ingredients.
People can respond differently to ingredients, including ingredients commonly used in soaps and personal-care products. The fact that an ingredient is natural, plant-based, derived from goat milk, or commonly used does not mean that an allergic reaction or sensitivity cannot occur.
If you have known allergies, significant skin sensitivities, or questions about whether an ingredient is appropriate for you, consult an appropriate healthcare professional before use.
Using Our Products
Please use Flat Tire Farm products only for their intended purpose and according to any directions or warnings provided with the product.
Unless a product is specifically labeled otherwise, topical personal-care products are intended for external use only.
Avoid contact with the eyes unless the product is specifically intended for use in that area.
Keep products out of reach of children and pets where appropriate.
If a product causes irritation, redness, discomfort, or another unexpected reaction, discontinue use. Seek appropriate medical attention if you experience a serious or persistent reaction.
Optional Patch Testing
If you have sensitive skin or are trying a new topical product or ingredient, you may choose to test a small amount on a limited area before broader use.
A small-area test cannot guarantee that an irritation or allergic reaction will not occur later.
If you have a history of significant allergic reactions or serious skin sensitivities, consult an appropriate healthcare professional regarding products and ingredients that may be suitable for you.
Soap, Cosmetics & Personal-Care Products
The legal classification of a product depends on factors including its ingredients, intended use, labeling, and the claims made about the product.
Some Flat Tire Farm products may be regulated as soap, while others may be regulated as cosmetics or another applicable product category.
We do not intend the use of the word “soap,” “lotion,” “shampoo,” “personal care,” or similar everyday terminology on this Site to represent that a product falls within a particular regulatory classification.
Each product should be used according to its individual description, directions, ingredients, and intended use.
No Medical or Dermatological Advice
Flat Tire Farm is not a medical practice, dermatology practice, pharmacy, or healthcare provider.
Information provided on our website, product pages, product packaging, social media, videos, emails, or other Flat Tire Farm content is provided for general informational and product-related purposes only.
It is not intended to provide medical or dermatological advice, diagnosis, or treatment and should not be used as a substitute for advice from an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
No Disease or Treatment Claims
Unless a product is specifically and lawfully marketed for such a purpose, Flat Tire Farm products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, mitigate, or prevent disease or medical conditions.
Our ordinary soaps and cosmetic personal-care products should not be interpreted as treatments for conditions such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, dermatitis, infections, inflammation, fungal conditions, or other diseases or medical conditions.
Statements about ingredients, traditional uses, personal experiences, scents, textures, or other product characteristics should not be interpreted as medical advice or as a representation that a product will treat or prevent a disease.
If you have a medical or dermatological condition, please seek advice from an appropriate healthcare professional rather than relying on a Flat Tire Farm product to diagnose or treat that condition.
Individual Results & Experiences
Everyone is different.
A product that one person enjoys or uses without irritation may not produce the same experience for another person.
Flat Tire Farm does not guarantee that a particular product will produce a particular cosmetic result or be appropriate for every individual's skin, hair, or personal circumstances.
Customer comments, reviews, testimonials, or descriptions of individual experiences represent those individuals' experiences and should not be interpreted as a guarantee that another person will have the same experience.
Product Descriptions & Ingredient Information
We make reasonable efforts to provide accurate product descriptions and ingredient information.
Because products are handcrafted and formulations or suppliers may change from time to time, please review the information provided with the product you receive.
If you have a question about an ingredient or product before purchasing or using it, please contact us.
Pregnancy, Medical Conditions & Special Circumstances
If you are pregnant or nursing, have a medical condition, take medications, have significant allergies or sensitivities, or have concerns about using a particular ingredient, please consult an appropriate healthcare professional regarding your individual circumstances before using a product.
Flat Tire Farm cannot determine whether a particular product or ingredient is medically appropriate for an individual customer.
Children
Not every personal-care product is appropriate for every age.
Parents and caregivers are responsible for reviewing ingredients, directions, warnings, and intended uses and determining whether a product is appropriate for a child in their care.
When there is uncertainty regarding the use of a product or ingredient on a child, consult an appropriate healthcare professional.
Storage & Product Care
Handmade products should be stored and used according to any instructions provided with the product.
Keep products away from conditions that could adversely affect their quality, such as excessive heat, moisture, or contamination, where applicable.
For handmade bar soaps, allowing the bar to dry between uses may help preserve the product.
Do not use a product that appears contaminated, has been improperly stored, or has changed in a way that causes you concern.
Accidental Ingestion & Serious Reactions
Unless expressly identified as a food product, Flat Tire Farm personal-care products are not intended for consumption.
If a personal-care product is accidentally swallowed or you experience a serious reaction, contact an appropriate medical professional or poison-control resource promptly.
In an emergency, contact emergency medical services.
