Pure Cell Roseroot, that can be purchased by Resellers that have attended Pure Cell Education and use the stem cells in Pure Cell Treatment, are only being shipped from our warehouse on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The reason is that the stem cells need to be stored in cool temperatures and we do not want to risk their survival if placed in storage by freight companies over the weekend. Orders containing cells that are received later than Wednesday at noon will therefore be shipped the upcoming week.

Customer Club – our way of giving you free tester products
Every Reseller who places an order in our web shop, partner.mariaakerberg,com, receives points that can then be exchanged for tester products. The Reseller chooses which products to purchase as testers. As a Reseller, you get 1 point for every SEK spent. When placing an order, 1,000 points correspond to a 50 SEK discount on the next order. Points can be saved to order more free testers, but the points are reset at the end of each year. The more a Reseller purchases, the more testers/products can be ordered free of charge. 1,000 SEK generates 1,000 points, which in turn creates a discount voucher of 50 SEK that can be used on the next order. At checkout, the Reseller will be able to see if there are vouchers to redeem. If the Reseller has several vouchers, they can choose to use them all at the same time or divide them between different orders. NB! The points will only be good to spend in the same calendar year as they have been acquired. They will expire on December 31 each year!
