Beth here! I’m the founder of BAO Skincare. Did you know I have over 15 years in the natural beauty industry and have been formulating and making natural skincare since 2012? I live in a beautiful part of the United Kingdom called Dorset my little dog and cat.

Natural skincare means products that are mindfully and honestly created and produced without the use of any ingredients that are harsh and damaging to the skin.

Natural products should be made from ethically-sourced ingredients with the health of the customer at the forefront and the preservation of the environment in mind.  

I don’t believe in filling my products with nasty chemicals that are not only harmful to our skin but the planet.

By ditching your mass-produced bathroom staples and swapping them for safe, environmentally friendly products like BAO, making the difference is as easy as washing your hands.

I envision a future in which everybody is as caring and conscientious as you are. That’s why, with BAO Skincare, I'm committed to using the platform as an environmentally-friendly beauty company to change attitudes about environmental issues.

Me! Everytime you email, DM on social, call or text BAO Skincare, you come through to me.

I'm always here to help you and answer any questions you have about your skin. 

Email subscribers are sent an exclusive offer every month.

Yes! With every order over £20 I pop in a free 5ml sample, if you have a specific product you’d like to try let me know in the notes when ordering.

Free samples are not included with orders that have been discounted or contain a free gift. 

All of the BAO Skincare products are handmade by myself, in my studio in Dorset. As BAO continues to grow, I'll outsource the making of the products but they'll still use my formulation.

Everything in the BAO Skincare collection can be recycled, with the exception of the pumps.

Which is all the more reason to reuse your bottles and pumps!

BAO Skincare is proudly registered 100% vegan and cruelty-free by The Vegan Society

They were created with hyper sensitive-skin in mind, however they actually suit all skin-types and concerns.

The balms, salts, body scrub, face and body oils do not contain any preservative as they do not contain water. These have a shelf life of  around 18 months.

The creams and washes contain water, so they have an eco preservative added. But don’t worry, it doesn’t contain any harsh chemicals and damage your skin. The washes have a 30 month shelf life and the creams 24 months.

They are best kept in a cool, dry place away from bright light and heat. As BAO Skincare is made from plant ingredients and essential oils, the powerful antioxidants can be affected if they are exposed to direct sunlight or get too warm.

Sometimes you may notice the creams in the glass bottles may change colour slightly. This is totally normal as sometimes the vitamin E can oxide with light, but the quality and scent will still remain in tact.

All of the ingredients are listed in full on both the packaging and product pages and you can read more on what the ingredients actually are here.

Absolutely not! These are nasty and can cause irritation on the skin.

I personally have not been able to wear any perfume for over 8 years because they all bring me up in bumps and a rash, so I scent my skin and all BAO products with pure essential oils only.

This is because they contain the beautiful aromas of pure essential oils.

I've carefully selected the scents to suit the products in which they are in, meaning they will either uplift, calm or balance your skin and mind whilst using them.

BAO Skincare is safe to use during and after pregnancy.

Although there isn’t any scientific proof, lavender oil is best avoided in the first trimester, so please steer clear of Healing Body Oil, Healing Bath Salts and Restorative Beauty Oil during this time.

Currently not, so please make sure your last skincare step is applying SPF.
