Frequently asked questions
What is CapyOnsen?
CapyOnsen is a new European self-care brand built around a short, three-step evening ritual — a cleanser, a serum, and a moisturiser. It's the sister brand to CapyFuel, and where CapyFuel is about energy, CapyOnsen is about winding down.
When does CapyOnsen launch?
We're a pre-launch brand as of 2026, building the ritual and the site before we open the shop. Join the waitlist and we'll email you the exact date as soon as it's set — no guessing games, no fake countdowns.
What are the formulas certified as?
Our formulas are COSMOS-certified (Natural/Organic), verified per product — check each product page for its specific certification. COSMOS is one of the recognised EU standards for natural and organic cosmetics.
Are the products vegan and cruelty-free?
Vegan status is confirmed per product — see each product page for the exact detail, since ingredient sourcing isn't identical across all three steps. On animal testing: cosmetics testing on animals has been banned across the EU by law since 2013, and our formulas are made within that framework.
Is CapyOnsen suitable for sensitive skin?
The Sensitive Skin Moisturiser is fragrance-free and dermatologically tested, and it's formulated to help calm redness-prone skin specifically. If your skin is very reactive, we'd still suggest patch-testing any new product, including ours, before adding it to a nightly routine.
Does CapyOnsen use fragrance?
The Sensitive Skin Moisturiser is fragrance-free by design. Check individual product pages for the Cleanser and Serum, as fragrance use is confirmed per product.
Where is CapyOnsen made?
In Latvia, in the EU, by an established, certified cosmetics manufacturer we partner with. We're upfront that this isn't our own factory; it's a certified partner we chose because they already do this well.
Which markets will you ship to, and when?
We're launching first into Germany, France, and Poland, then expanding to EU-wide shipping in English. If you're in Cyprus or Malta, our gift bundle will be available to you as well. Exact shipping start dates will go out to the waitlist first.
What's your returns policy?
We haven't opened the shop yet, so there's nothing to return just yet. We'll publish a clear, fair returns policy on this page the moment the store goes live.
Is the packaging sustainable?
We're designing the packaging to be as minimal and as recyclable as we reasonably can, and we'll publish the full material breakdown here before launch, once it's finalised — we'd rather confirm it than promise it early.
What's the story behind the capybara?
Capybaras are famous online for soaking calmly in hot springs — often with a yuzu fruit on their head — looking completely unbothered by the world. We built the brand around that feeling of unhurried calm. To be clear: our products don't contain real hot-spring water; we borrowed the mood, not the mineral content.
How does the waitlist work?
