Are bea Skin Care products animal friendly?

Absolutely! Our products are cruelty-free and never tested on animals.


What are ‘active’ ingredients and how are they different to those in regular skincare products?

Active ingredients - occasionally termed ‘medical grade’ - are potent concentrates of a certain 'active' or ingredient (e.g. vitamin C). All bea Skin Care products incorporate active ingredients in much higher quantities than are found in over-the-counter skin care products.


Do you use natural ingredients?

Yes! We use high strength compounds that are 100% free of irritants and allergens. Aside from being paraben-free and carcinogenic-free, all bea Skin Care ingredients are natural and non-synthetic.


Product Use Disclaimer

All skincare products including products that contain all-natural ingredients, can cause skin reactions in susceptible individuals, especially if the products contain higher percentages of active ingredients. If you have sensitive skin, please do a patch test before use. If use causes an adverse skin reaction, then discontinue use immediately, and see your doctor or pharmacist if no relief comes from rinsing the affected area in cool water or your are concerned about any side effects you may have whilst using bea Skin Care products. bea Skin Care gives no warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to the implied warranties as to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement, nor shall bea Skin Care be liable for any damages, including consequential damages of any kind that may result from the use of bea Skin Care products especially the products were bought without consultation.


Can I retail bea Skin Care products in my own practice?

Yes. If you are a therapist, skincare practitioner or medical professional in the UK, you can open a partner account with us. Please email accounts@bea-skincare.com for more information.


Why isn't my airless pump dispensing product?

Some of our products use airless pump technology. Airless pump dispensers utilize a vacuum system to dispense and keep the product within the container fresh. Airless packaging helps to keep air and contaminants out of the product, which enhances the formula's stability and effectiveness. When using your product for the first time, you may need to "prime" the dispenser. There is a disk that pushes the product to the top which can become stuck, and you may need to bang the bottom of the bottle 3-4 times on a flat and hard surface to loosen the disk, then pump the dispenser slowly about 15-20 times upside down. After it starts pumping you can pump right side up as normal. If the dispenser stops working at any time, simply repeat the "priming" step. We do not recommend attempting to dismantle the package. Please note that there is not supposed to be a "straw" in the packaging. If you only opened it once and were able to put it back together, the product should still be effective as long as it wasn't exposed to air for a very long period of time.

What are the percentage strengths of the ingredients in your products?

bea Skin Care products indicate the percentage strength of active compounds wherever applicable. For example, our Vitamin C 20% & Hyaluronic Acid Serum includes concentrated vitamin C at 20% strength. However, the percentage of active ingredients usually concerns alphahydroxy and betahydroxy acids (AHAs and BHAs) only. This is because the potency of ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and collagen depends on their molecular weight rather than their concentration, i.e. percentage strength.


How to use Glutathione Vitamin Suppositories & What to Expect?

To self-administer a Glutathione Vitamin suppository, one must ensure hand hygiene before proceeding to uncover the wrapping. After assuming a relaxed and comfortable position in which the anal muscles are not strained, the suppository is gradually pushed into the anal canal with the pointed side going in first. It is easier to insert after a bath or in conjunction with a suppository applicator. The process must be done gently without force. It is also advised to administer a suppository when there is no urgency of using the toilet in order to allow the drug to be absorbed properly. Please store the Suppositories packet in a cool and dry place so that they retain their firmness. It is normal for individuals to experience an urge to defecate and/or slight leakage or irritation due to the oily nature of suppositories. It is therefore advised to use them before bed or when there’s no need to go out.


What are pre-order items?
