Using Our Products

California North Skincare products are equipped with pump tops for easy application. We employ two types of pumps, a twist to open design, and an open and close design. The type is indicated on each pump top as pictured below.

Open and close design pumps are locked in the closed position upon delivery. To open, simply hold the bottle securely at the base, and gently twist as indicated to open the pump top for use. You may also twist to the indicated close position to disable product application for travel.

Twist to open design pumps are also locked in the closed position upon delivery. To open this pump, hold the bottle securely at its base and twist the pump top until it pops up, indicating that it is now open and ready to use.

*Never attempt to lift a bottle by the pump top. Doing so may result in damage to the pump top. Always hold or transport your California North products by the base of the bottle.

What to do if your pump is not dispensing product correctly?

In the rare event that your pump is not dispensing product, this may mean that the pump has become clogged or that pressure has built up in the components. This may result after long periods of not using your CN product.

To release pressure simply unscrew the top of the pump, and lift up slightly to allow air to escape. Screw the top back onto the pump and dispense product as desired. Any backed up product or pressure should be released immediately or within a few pumps.

If you require assistance please contact us and we will be happy to help you.
