Product Description

Who for: anyone who wants shiny healthy hair and scalp, dandruff and eczema sufferers

What is it: a natural soap shampoo bar with Tasmania’s natural cider vinegar from the Huon Valley. We love Tasmania’s beautiful apple cider vinegar so much and people report such great results with our Apple Cider and Herb Conditioning Rinse that we decided to make a shampoo bar with it for even more benefits!

Apple cider vinegar can: Encourage healthy hair growth. Apple cider vinegar helps to balance the pH of hair and scalp, stimulating better circulation to the hair follicles, which in turn strengthens hair roots… creating ideal conditions to promote healthy hair growth.

Helps hair retain more moisture helping to prevent split ends.

Helps dandruff, itchy and dry scalp – apple cider vinegar has antibacterial and antifungal properties that can help this condition, by gently unclogging the crusts that form around follicles.

Mount Wellington spring water, Tasmanian apple cider vinegar, olive oil, coconut oil, castor oil, soy wax, Leatherwood beeswax & honey, essential oils (Lavender and Kunzea)

We ourselves only use earth friendly packaging – with plastics used only as a very last resort if we cannot obtain a glass, paper or tin alternative container.

Recent research has shown that the use of phthalates (a chemical softening agent) implicated as an endocrine system disruptor in the manufacture of plastics can leach into oil based contents. Plastic is also the number one environmental pollution curse. Beauty and the bees do not use plastic containers except for bottle caps and inserts, where we have no choice. Packaging is in amber glass (not plastic) and we use recycled paper materials/boxes.

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU COMPLAIN OR SEND NEGATIVE FEEDBACK TO US ABOUT YOUR MAIL ORDER AND THE WAY THAT IT WAS PACKAGED.

And, frankly, give small business a break! We are the low hanging fruit/easy target for spurious complaints, yet we are bending over backwards to do the right thing! We notice that no-one bothers to target Mc Donalds with their humungous waste, but howls with rage when receiving a package from us, failing to read this information, even though it is on our site here.

We have been in business for 24 years and tried every physical method known to send packages safely and we know that the way we send it works: if you can do it better, please enlighten us!

Using any other method other than bubble wrap results in breakages and we will rapidly go broke, since Australia Post will take no care or responsibility, and we have to replace the package at our cost with the client blaming US, not the courier.

Since we pack in enviro friendly glass, we absolutely NEED to use bubble wrap to ensure safe arrival of your goods because Australia Post /Couriers are EXTREMELY ROUGH in handling packages – BUT!!! we only use Sancell’s new biodegradeable product-Ecobubble, which you can recycle yourself in your recycle bin, or better still reuse it yourself.
Find out more about this Ecobubble product here:

http://www.sancell.com.au/index.php/environment/sancell-s-enviro-bubble/

Where bags are required ( for free samples of soaps, etc in mail orders) we use biodegradeable cellophane bags, and only kraft recycled paper bags instore.
We use only recycled/earth friendly shipping materials to pack mail orders aside from the plastic bags that are supplied by Australia Post/Courier businesses and we have no choice in this.
All our packing “bubbles” are made of wheat or corn, are edible, AND recycled from other stores within Centrepoint shopping Centre in Hobart where our store is situated- so they are doubly used. We suggest that you compost them, (we have heard that they are great for chooks!) or reuse again wherever possible.
Packing boxes are all recycled Kraft card.
The spoons/spatulas provided with our moisture creams are not plastic but also biodegradeable made of cornstarch.

We use only recyclable clear or brown glass where necessary to prevent light damage to the vitamin-rich contents.

Where possible we use only recycled paper pulp packaging/printed matter (this is extremely difficult in Australia with limited supply sources available here).

All our products are handmade in a chemical and detergent -free environment.

As a small, environmentally sensitive, local producer we do not create megafactory waste. Indeed, we recycle wherever possible. Our original store in Bellerive was built entirely from re-cycled materials from a local Resource and Waste Management Co-operative.

HOW DO YOU SHIP?

Shipping is calculated based on the total weight of your order and cannot be determined until you select your items.

Please READ THIS:

We are on an island-Tasmania. The Bass Strait is the most expensive piece of water over which to ship anything, anywhere in the world.

We are held hostage in terms of what Australia Post and the courier companies charge us ( which is what we charge you: no additions) and as with any small artisan business in Australia, do not have the volume /muscle to hustle them for better rates-in any case they just don’t care, raising their rates with impunity as there is no competition: 23 million people in Australia is not a big market and so they make the consumer pay, and pay big.

This is something over which we have no control, and we ask you to think about that when ordering and understand: we have attempted to offer low weight samples in most ranges to try and beat this issue.

There are two main options for shipping:

Courier – We choose a courier which is fast, cost effective and trackable online, since we want our fresh products to reach you quickly, safely and in perfect condition. This option will have your package delivered in 1-2 days for most capital cities and metro areas.

Aus Post eParcel – this option has been provided as a lower shipping cost option and parcels can take 5-7+ business days for delivery (or longer to remote or regional areas, WA & NT).
NOTE: we don’t recommend selecting eParcel for our Creams.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE MY ORDER TO BE SHIPPED?

You will receive an email notification to let you know your package is on its way. The email will include a link to the courier or Aus Post eParcel tracking information. The tracking number is really a Delivery Confirmation number that allows you to check the delivery status online.

Once your order has been shipped it should take 1 to 2 business days for delivery for Courier and 7+ days for Aus Post eParcel.
You can use your tracking number to track your parcel online:

Courier (click here to visit Star Track).

Aus Post eParcel: (click here to visit Aus Post).

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: if you experience a delay in delivery, please attempt to track your package online in the first instance. Packages rarely go missing, however in the unlikely event that you feel your order has, please contact us and we will investigate.

WHAT ARE MY SHIPPING OPTIONS?

Your shipping options and costs will automatically appear on the cart page and as you checkout. Please choose your shipping option carefully. If choosing the option PERMISSION TO LEAVE, Beauty and the Bees can accept no further responsibility for the package. Additionally, if the courier deems the premises unsafe to leave the parcel, they may choose not to do so. You can check the delivery status of your order by entering the tracking number which is emailed to you on completion of your order.

Option 1 Permission to Leave (Left at your premises at your own risk)

Option 2 No Permission to Leave (If you are not home, parcel is taken to delivery centre for collection – additional charges incurred for Courier)

Option 3 Post Office Box Delivery (Additional charges incurred for Courier)

Option 4 Business Address (yours or someone else’s signature required)

Although we check and double check orders and addresses prior to shipping, we are human and mistakes can happen. If an item is missing please let us know. We can ship it out to you, issue a refund, or include it in your next order.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING

Your shipping options will automatically appear at checkout. Please choose one of the following options carefully.

Outside of Australia our preferred shipper is Australia Post. You have 2 options to choose from:

Option 1 International Economy Air – please be aware this is a non- trackable freight option. Orders take approximately 6 days for delivery depending on your country. This option is only for parcels weighing 2kg or less.

Option 2 International Express – this option includes tracking of your item. Orders take approximately 4 days for delivery depending on your country.

We suggest that if you have not received your order in this time frame you contact your local delivery centre. Beauty and the Bees will not accept responsibility for orders damaged in transit or not received by using the Economy Air freight option.

Please do not hesitate to email us at info@beebeauty.com if you have any further questions about our process.

HOW WILL I KNOW MY ORDER HAS BEEN SHIPPED?

You will receive an email notification to let you know your package is on its way. The note will include your consignment number, and depending on the option you have chosen you may be able to track your delivery online. If you have chosen a non-trackable option, there is no information available.

DUTIES, TAXES AND CUSTOMS

International shipping quotes do not include any duties, taxes or other charges that may be applied by your countries government. Any duties and taxes for international shipments are at the cost of the customer.

Every country has different rules and regulations when receiving international packages. We follow the general guidelines set by the Australian Postal Service for international shipping that are not specific for any given country.

Customs regulations are often different for small packages versus large packages. Please be sure that you are aware of any specific customs regulations for your country. We will do everything we can to help you receive your package, but we cannot be responsible for packages that are detained in customs.

MISSING ITEM POLICY FOR INTERNATIONAL ORDERS

Although we check and double check orders prior to shipping, we are human and mistakes can happen. Due to the rising cost of international postage, we can no longer ship items that are missing from your international order. If you discover a missing item, please let us know as soon as possible. We will gladly issue a refund for the missing item(s).

It took me a while to get the hang of using the shampoo bars, but after reading the FAQ section on the Beauty and the Bees website (I should have done that first – doh!) I finally got it right and now I love this shampoo. Not only has it reduced my plastic consumption drastically but I also have shiny, clean hair. It did take my hair a week or so to get used to it, and it does feel different, especially when wet (mine feels like straw – probably because it doesn’t have the additional silicon normal shampoos contain) but after drying it is perfect. I use the apple cider rinse afterand love that too.

  This sums up perfectly what we try to tell people Jennifer- in the words of that nasty chemical shampoo, “it won’t happen overnight, but it will happen”…it takes time, and very glad that our videos ( that we agonised over 😉 and FAQ have done their job. Very pleased indeed, thanks so much!!!
