You like to keep your skin and hair healthy and glowing with the very best natural chemical free skin and bodycare products for yourself, right?
But you also want the very best healthy care for your pet, too… As Australia’s leading producer of premium quality skincare products we have bow wow wowed to the pressure (sorry!) and the 100% chemical-free Pet shampoo bar that you all demanded is here. You got it!
Chemical-free pet care is as important for animals as it is for us, since harmful chemicals are absorbed through the skin in the same way. Your everlovin’ doggie deserves it!
- rich in moisturising gentle waxes and oils
- especially for sensitive, dry, flaky skin
- fights pesky fleas with powerful natural essential oils including Tasmania’s exciting new Kunzea and antibacterial Indian neem oil
- easy rinse lather for soft, shiny coat and healthy skin
- 100% biodegradable pure vegetable soap
- 100% chemical and detergent free – does not strip vital moisture and oils from coat / skin
Why use biodegradeable gentle soap instead of harsh synthetic detergents?
- Commercial shampoos (human or pet) contain many toxic and destructive chemicals such as the foaming agents sodium laureth sulphate and cocamide betaine. These strong chemical de-greasers strip the hair of up to 4/5 of its natural oils and eventually produce sore, dry scalp/skin conditions and irritate the eyes.Sadly these foaming agents are used because consumers seem to believe incorrectly, that a lot of lather means a shampoo is working well.
- Chemical detergents-invented only 50 or so years ago-are far less bio-degradeable than natural soaps( which have been used by humans and no doubt their pets! for literally thousands of years) and are harmful to marine life and the enviroment.
- Detergents pollute our waterways producing algal blooms that kill wild life – essentially doing exactly the same damage as phosphate laden laundry and household detergents.
- The same applies to ‘conditioners’, which closely resemble the fabric conditioners they started life as, in both structure and chemical content, and simply coat the hair with a form of silicone plasticiser to make it ‘shine’.
We are not prepared to use these products and will not make them.
Instead we make a rich, superfatted pure soap shampoo bar, traditionally handmade to a centuries-old formula.
Using only the finest raw conditioning plant oils such as castor, olive and coconut oils which help retain the lustre, natural oils and softness in doggie’s coat.
These oils produce a rich, dense, creamy moisturising lather which gently cleanses without stripping natural conditioning oils, leaving your dog’s coat clean, soft and shining.
Our bars are:
- bio-degradable and eco-friendly
- no synthetic antioxidants, optical brighteners, maturing stabilisers,hardeners sodium lauryl sulphate (lathering agents) animal products
- The colour of the bar directly reflects the natural waxes and flea chasing essential oils used to handmake it.
Users report that:
- when not stripped by detergents, coat and skin return to a healthy state, lubricated by their own naturally occurring oils (sebum)
- dry, sore, flaky skin conditions (often aggravated by the drying synthetic products used before) improve almost immediately as the skin and coat recover their natural healthy state.
- Conditioner? we strongly suggest a simple natural cider vinegar rinse (1-2 tablespoons in last rinse water) that our grandmothers used in simpler times to rinse out any remaining soap, restore the pH balance and leave doggies coat naturally glossy and soft.

My Boston Terrier used to always get red itchy skin from other pet shampoo (including the Oatmeal varieties) and also has grass allergies. Luckily I found Beauty & the Bees pet shampoo soap bar when visiting the Salamanca Markets in Hobart and thought I’d give it a try. Well, it is fantastic! So easy to use-lathers up nicely, no rashes or itching from my dog and it smells good too. I highly recommend this! I’m onto the third bar now which I get shipped to Melbourne, along with my other favourite Beauty & the Bees soap bars for myself. Great product!

Hi Nikki,
Thank you for taking the time to write, we appreciate it.
As dog lovers ourselves it’s great to hear your terrier has gained from the Pet Shampoo as much as people do, all our pets love it too 🙂
Regards Beauty and the Bees team.

I bought this shampoo for my new cavoodle puppy, who is a ball of black fluff. I was a bit sceptical because while I use the black voodoo shampoo bars on my own hair, I know it takes some getting used to, and I wasn’t sure if the dog’s hair would be different. I can report she is still a ball of fluff, and so soft! She smells extremely clean and I really enjoyed the lather and how simple it was to wash her, without worrying about chemicals and skin irritations (for me or for her). I also used the purple ‘scalp massage brush’ as a dog brush once she was dry, and it was perfect for that sensitive puppy skin!

Hi Lisa,
Thank you for taking the time to write.
We are glad your puppy is enjoying the Pet Shampoo and you care enough about her to not use chemicals, we are dog people here and all use the Pet Shampoo on our loved pooches too 🙂
Regards Beauty & the Bees team.

I’m so happy with this dog shampoo, I have a british bulldog with sensitive skin and a nose roll that has always been a pocket of grossness that always needed daily cleaning and having to apply a cream to stop it from getting festy. Since using this shampoo I have not had to do any extra maintenance on her nose at all, it’s been perfectly clean right up to her next bath and her skin isn’t bothering her at all anymore. It’s so easy to use too, it soaps up beautifully and rinses out so quick and easy. This is a fantastic product thank you!!
Claire Brodribb –
Thank you for your review, Lisa. Glad that it has helped! Some customers actually use this shampoo on their children to help prevent nits 🙂 (same natural ingredients as other shampoo bars, just different essential oils)

I have two Boxers and this morning I broke out the Gorgeous Georgies Shampoo Bar. I am seriously impressed by the ease of use and the ease with which this rinsed off their bodies. It made bath time far less hassle. Their coats have dried really soft and glossy. Perfection.

We are glad your dogs and you are happy, this was made for Jill’s dog originally who also loved this bar 🙂

I love that smell of citronella on my baby girl (my mini schnauzer), and only yesterday someone commented how shiny her coat was and I jokingly piped up “it’s her shampoo”. The smell lingers for days, such a pleasure to use, lathers easily and leaves such a shiny coat. The best for me is the peace of mind that I am using a totally natural product, that won’t dehydrate her skin, so am not concerned if I bath her too regularly. A huge thanks.

I have been using the “Busters Bonza Bewdy Bar” for a little while now & we ran out last time we went to bath our darling Labrador, so we used an off the shelf shampoo to get us through. I must say that after using Busters Bar & then having to go back to the other horrible stuff we used to use I can highly recommend this product. The Bewdy Bar cleans so much better and doesn’t irritate his skin and keeps him smelling wonderful for weeks longer than the other stuff we used to use. I am so so so very impressed – thank you Beauty and the Bees for such a wonderful product.

I bought these saops for my two Staffy’s, the only product I know of that completely clears up any skin irritations. I have since lost one of my Staffy’s and now use it on my Aussie Bulldog. These types of breeds are well known to be prone for allergies and as I said this soap is the only thing that stops all that. I have recommended it to my friends for their dogs it is such an excellent product and it lasts and doesn’t cost a fortune and I know it doesn’t have harmful chemicals in it. Thank you 🙂

A web search for a pet soap I had bought during a visit to the Salamanca Market in Hobart brought up this website. Not only was I able to find the product, it was ordered, packed and delivered promptly. The product “Gorgeous Georgies Gloss Bar” is the best we have used on our 10 year old Maltese X. There are a whole range of other categories to explore.

I purchased the Gorgeous Georgie’s gloss bar and it is tremendous am absolutely thrilled with it.
I found it so simple to use; and best of all both Oliver and Lucy’s coats have never been softer or shinier for as long as this before.
I have now been recommending the gloss bar to my friends and family for their pet pampering.

We have a 13 year old Maltese, Samantha. who has extremely sensitive skin which has reacted adversely to pet shampoos and flea treatments all of her life. A couple of months ago we tried Gorgeous Georgie’s bar on Samantha and there has been no skin reaction at all. For the first time in her life Samantha can be bathed whenever she needs it. She loves the bath and has never looked so clean and white.

My dogs Oscar and Hugo absolutely love their Bonza Beauty Bar baths and so does their skin. Itchy rashes have cleared up completely. They are currently using their last bar and need another!

We used the shampoo on Harry who suffers from a scabby rash on his skin which the vet advises us to wash well and scrub off regularly.
The doggie shampoo lathered up really well allowing us to properly wash Harry, who is very sensitive to all things unnatural. And the result was a cleared up rash and no irritation!

Last year while in Tasmania I purchased “Busters Bonza Bewdy Bar”. My dog is a 14 year old Australian silky terrier. All his life he has had skin conditions and a thin coat. Most summers he ends up bald, but not this year! Since I have been using the Bewdy Bar (about 8 months), his coat has thickened and is so healthy. Dusty never scratches anymore. I could go on and on about this product. Anyway I would like to purchase some more bars. Could you let me know how to go about this. I was thinking I could direct deposit the money, or you could send me an invoice with the soap.
Thank you, Catherine Dunstan, New South Wales
I am so impressed with the Bewdy Bar, it’s amazing.
