Frequently Asked Questions

Welcome to JustBe Botanicals FAQ

Looking for a little clarity? You’re in the right place.

At JustBe Botanicals, we know that choosing skincare and wellbeing products, especially when you have sensitive skin or buying a thoughtful gift can come with questions. 

Whether you’re wondering about our ingredients, gift options or how to get the most out of your JustBe rituals, we’re here to help.

And if you can’t find what you’re looking for, we’re always just a message away. 

General Questions

What is the best natural skincare for sensitive skin?
Our gentle formulas use coconut oil and soothing botanicals for a kind, effective approach. We choose to blend with natural ingredients that you and your skin understand.

Why choose nut-free skincare?
Nut allergies are increasingly common. We use coconut oil instead of nut oils to ensure our products are safe for allergy-conscious customers.

What does multi-sensory skincare mean?
Our products are designed to nourish your skin, senses and emotions through touch, texture and scent.

How does scent affect mood?
Aromatherapy uses essential oils to trigger emotional responses in the lymbic system - the part of the brain where memories and emotions are stored. Our blends are crafted to uplift, calm, or centre your mood through aromatherapy.

How can I create a relaxing self-care routine?
You could start with an enriched soap or wash your skin with our refreshing cleansing gel or nourish your skin with a body oil or body butter. During the day spritz your face with an uplifting toner, roll on a pulse-point blend or enjoy a moment of mindfulness with couple of squares of aromatherapy chocolate. In the evening, give yourself permission to pause when making a pot of herbal tea or lighting a candle.

Orders, Shipping & Customer Care

How fast is delivery and is your packaging eco-friendly?
We aim to dispatch within 1–2 working days. We use minimal plastic and recyclable packaging wherever possible.

Is it safe to use JustBe products during pregnancy?
We recommend consulting your healthcare provider. The JustBe Pure range uses a blend of Mandarin and Lavender essential oils that are widely believed to be safe to use during second and third trimester of pregancy. As sense of smell can be heightened during pregnancy, the percentage of aromatherapy oils is also less than in the other blends.

Do you ship internationally?
Yes. The shipping rates for shipping outside the UK will be calculated and added at checkout.
