More Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Jars vs Sticks, what are the difference?
A: Jars are softer and much more spreadable. It is recommended on larger body parts. Such as when used as a facial moisturizer, for diaper rash, or pregnant belly.
Sticks are handy on the go. They are great to put in the pocket for skin emergencies, such as for insect bites. Because you carry it everywhere, it helps promote proper skin management.
Q: Your sizes are small, why don't you make mega tubs?
We meant it to be small, so you’ll always have a fresh batch. Smaller batches also mean less chances for contamination (especially when you double dip your finger, who doesn’t?) because our products don’t contain any preservatives.
Q: How long do unopened products last?
Because we use natural products, it varies depending on the shelf life of our ingredients. Generally 2-3 years.
Q: How long do opened products last?
A: As with any skincare, the clock starts ticking once you’ve opened a product. C-O-N-T-A-M-I-N-A-T-I-O-N is to blame, it shortens a product’s lifespan.To extend a product’s life, use a clean scooper everytime you use a product.
Use our product within 6 months of opening. If you use it for diaper rash, chuck it after 3 months. The only way to extend a product’s shelf life for a long time is to add artificial preservatives, but who wants that? Not me.
Q: It's supposed to be fast absorbing. Why does it feel oily on me?
A: Thirsty skin drinks Bebebugs and Bebebalm faster than you can say, “Certified Organic Virgin Coconut Oil”. If you found it oily, most likely you’ve put too much on one area. We make our balms without water (fillers), so it’s much richer than creams or lotions. A little goes a long way. Just spread it some more and your skin will drink it in.
Q: For a product that contains premium ingredients such as organic virgin coconut oil and pure essential oils, why are you priced relatively low? (Not that we're complaining)
A: Haha! I know right? We love creating balms and just want to rescue more skins. So we made it very affordable. We have very low margins, so… we cannot quit our day jobs just yet. It’s okay, we love our day jobs too!
