General Questions

Are Your Products Gluten and Lactose Free?

+

Most of The Beauty Chef products are considered naturally gluten and lactose-free. However, the manufacturing plant does process other products that contain gluten, so we can’t guarantee that our range remains completely uncontaminated.

BODY and CLEANSE also contain a blend of grasses (e.g barley grass, wheat grass, alfalfa grass and oat grass) which are derived from gluten-containing grains so cannot technically be referred to as gluten-free here in Australia. If you are highly sensitive, it’s unlikely you will be able to tolerate these products.

How Many Products Can I Take at Once?

+

SLEEP, OMEGA ELIXIR™ and GUT PRIMER can be taken as per the label directions for use, but the remainder of the range is designed to be enjoyed together or individually—in filtered water, coconut water, juices or smoothies. Recommended serving sizes can be found on the bottle/jar.

Please note however, that as some of our inner beauty products contain zinc, it’s essential to review how many products you are consuming daily. When you have excess zinc, this can alter the balance of minerals (such as copper) in the body and usually occurs when you take large amounts of zinc over a long period of time. This imbalance can be seen when you are taking more than 50mg of elemental zinc a day and in this instance, we recommend you speak to your healthcare professional. According to the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) of Australia, the upper limit of zinc is 40mg per day from all sources.

How Should I Store My Inner Beauty Products?

+

Because of the good bacteria in our inner beauty products, we recommend that you keep them refrigerated once opened and always use a dry spoon so as not to introduce any moisture into the product. If refrigeration is not possible, due to travel for example, ensure that your powder is kept out of direct sunlight and away from high heat. The unique fermentation process each powder undergoes ensures that these bacteria remain quite hardy and so should not be adversely affected if kept unrefrigerated for short periods of a few hours or so. Note however, that if you have left your product unrefrigerated for longer than a few hours, it’s best to leave it at room temperature and consume it within the month.

As GUT PRIMER does not contain the same live cultures as our other beauty products, once opened, it is able to be stored below 30ºC. Similarly, WELL SPRAY does not require refrigeration.

Should I Consume the Beauty Chef Products in Hot or Cold Beverages?

+

When exposed to high levels of heat for prolonged periods of time, probiotics begin to die off, which is why we recommend that our inner beauty products be consumed in chilled or room temperature beverages. As the beneficial bacteria within our formulas survive best in cool conditions, they are likely to deplete if exposed to excessive heat.

SLEEP Inner Beauty Support is the one product that is able to be enjoyed in warm (not hot) milk and enjoyed immediately.

Do the Inner Beauty Products Contain Nuts?

+

While our products do not contain nuts, we utilise a third-party manufacturing plant that produces other products which may include such ingredients. The manufacturing equipment is cleaned according to food-grade standards, however there is always the small possibility that traces of nuts are present from batch to batch.

I don't know which powder to use? Can I use all of them together?

+

The Beauty Chef products work synergistically to amplify the benefits of each other so are able to be combined and consumed together. Our Essential—GLOW—is a nutrient-dense, bio-fermented powder designed for everyday use and can be combined with our range of Inner Beauty Boosts—COLLAGEN, HYDRATION, ANTIOXIDANT and ADAPTOGEN. The only exception is our OMEGA ELIXIR Inner Beauty Boost which as a listed medicine, must be enjoyed as per the directions on the label.

Can I give the inner beauty products to my children?

+

Most ingredients used in our inner beauty products may be consumed by children under the age of 12, however pomegranate fruit peel (high in ellagic acid), for example, features in many of our products and has very limited safety data available for this age group. We recommend reviewing the individual product information and seeking the advice of your healthcare practitioner prior to use to check if it is right for your child.

Can I take the inner beauty products if I’m on medication?

+

We recommend speaking with your healthcare practitioner before making and dietary or lifestyle changes.

What Is the Shelf Life of the Inner Beauty Products?

+

Our inner beauty powders have a shelf life of 2 years if they remain unopened and 60 - 90 days once opened—please see individual product labels. Our Inner Beauty Boosts have a shelf life of 45 days once opened with the exception of OMEGA ELIXIR, which should be used within 4 weeks of opening.

Can I Take the Inner Beauty Products While Pregnant/Breastfeeding?

+

All of our inner beauty products are highly nutritious supplements, however not all of our products are recommended during this time. If you’re unsure as to whether a specific product is safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding, you are welcome to contact our customer care team. As always, we also recommend speaking with your healthcare practitioner before making any dietary or lifestyle changes.

Can I Take the Inner Beauty Products If I Am on Medication?

+

We recommend that you consult with your chosen healthcare practitioner before taking the Inner Beauty products.

Do Your Products Contain Animal Products, and Are They Tested on Animals?

+

With the exception of DEEP COLLAGEN™—which contains fish, and Flora Fix Balm™ and Probiotic Skin Refiner—which contain honey—all of The Beauty Chef products are both vegan and vegetarian and are not tested on animals.

I Am Fructose Intolerant – Can I Take the Beauty Chef Inner Beauty Powders?

+

Our inner beauty products are made from natural, plant-based wholefoods that are naturally low in fructose. Furthermore, the fermentation process reduces fructose as the bacteria metabolise the sugars and causes the foods to become much more digestible and tolerated. Many of our products are also now certified “FODMAP Friendly” and therefore suitable for use if you have a FODMAP intolerance.

Where Are Your Products Manufactured?

+

All of The Beauty Chef products are proudly created in Australia.

Where Do the Ingredients Used in Your Products Come From?

+

As a brand, we look long and hard at our ingredients and where they come from, staying true to our strict ingredient selection policy criteria and sustainability goals. On occasion, we find that due to drought, ingredient quality or availability, Australian ingredients do not meet our strict ingredient selection criteria which means we need to source these elsewhere. We are continually working to bring you more Australian ingredients in each of our products and we hope that in the future we are able to source Australian ingredients which meet our strict requirements. We do, however, acknowledge that not all the ingredients we wish to include in our formulas are grown in Australia because they aren’t suited to the Australian environment and growing conditions, meaning this could cause more damage to the Australian landscape—something we want to avoid to ensure we have ongoing sustainable supply chains using ethically sourced ingredients.

Do the Inner Beauty Powders Contain Flavouring and Colouring?

+

Yes, the inner beauty powders contain natural flavours, making them delicious to consume. However, they are only used in quantities needed to improve the flavour profiles of the products. All flavours used are also of the highest quality, meeting stringent food safety regulations and standards. All ingredients used in the manufacture of our natural flavours are approved for use in the FSANZ Food Standards Code 2002 (including all gazetted amendments).

I Have Intolerances to Some of the Foods That Are Listed as Ingredients in the Inner

+

Whilst we have received feedback from some of our customers who have intolerances to some ingredients that they can take our products without concern, if you have a known intolerance or allergy, it’s important you speak to your healthcare practitioner before consuming The Beauty Chef products or making any dietary or lifestyle changes.

If you decide to take our products and you have a known intolerance, we recommend that you start with a very small dose—about ⅛ of a dose—and gradually increase your intake until you have reached the full dose.

Can I take GLOW with other Beauty Chef products?

+

You can absolutely combine The Beauty Chef products together. SLEEP and GUT PRIMER can be taken as per the label directions for use, and the remainder of the range can be taken up to two serves daily. These can be consumed either together or individually – in filtered water, coconut water, juices or smoothies. Recommended servings can be found on the bottle/jar.

Can I mix GLOW in a hot drink?

+

No, we recommend that you avoid adding GLOW to warm or heated substances as this may deplete the high levels of beneficial bacteria; instead enjoy it in cool or room temperature beverages such as water, coconut water, juice, a protein shake or smoothie, or even in yoghurt or overnight oats. GLOW should be stored in the fridge and be consumed within 90 days of opening.

Why doesn’t GLOW completely dissolve?

+

As all of our Inner Beauty products have been formulated using only natural, plant-based whole foods which have been bio-fermented; the products will always be slightly thicker or grainier than a synthetic product. Many customers enjoying blending GLOW with coconut water or smoothies. Otherwise you may like to try mixing it with your favourite yoghurt for some added flavour and texture.

Does GLOW take the place of a probiotic?

+

Our products are wholefood supplements that contain probiotics and postbiotics, rather than probiotic supplements. Whilst probiotics are an important part of The Beauty Chef’s Inner Beauty Products, they are just one element that contributes to the many benefits. Our point of difference is our exclusive Flora Culture™ fermentation process. While probiotics you may find in the supermarket often only carry one or two species or strains, our formulas offer multiple, natural, food-based strains to help encourage microbial diversity. The addition of prebiotic-rich ingredients also helps to nourish the beneficial bacteria in your gut to further boost and balance digestive health. If you are experiencing a medical condition whereby your health practitioner has recommended a particular strain or species at a certain level, you may need additional supplementation.

Does GLOW contain flavouring? What type?

+

Unfortunately, as indicated on the label, this product is not suitable for use in pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

We know how much our customers love the taste of this skin-loving elixir, so we hope we’ve done the original COLLAGEN justice – while also being able to increase the gut-loving goodness of the final formulation.

Does COLLAGEN take the place of a probiotic?

+

Our products are wholefood supplements that contain probiotics and postbiotics, rather than probiotic supplements. Whilst probiotics are an important part of The Beauty Chef’s Inner Beauty Products, they are just one element that contributes to the many benefits. Our point of difference is our exclusive Flora Culture™ fermentation process. While probiotics you may find in the supermarket often only carry one or two species or strains, our formulas offer multiple, natural, food-based strains to help encourage microbial diversity.

+

Yes, ANTIOXIDANT SUPERCHARGED does not contain gluten or ingredients derived from gluten-containing grains.

Does ANTIOXIDANT SUPERCHARGED taste different?

+

We have made some advancements in our exclusive Flora Culture™ fermentation process which has enabled us to increase the amount of fermented ingredients included in ANTIOXIDANT. As fermented ingredients tend to have a slightly sour or acidic flavour, we have had to make a few formulation changes to ensure ANTIOXIDANT SUPERCHARGED continues to be as delicious as it has always been.

ANTIOXIDANT SUPERCHARGED looks different to my old ANTIOXIDANT, why?

+

One of the formulation changes we made was to include elderberry as it helps to support a healthy immune system. This addition brings a pink hue to this delicious elixir while the increase in fermented ingredients brings a slightly hazy appearance to the finished product.

Why use rice and pea protein as opposed to whey protein?

+

We have chosen to use plant-based rice and pea proteins as they are much gentler on the digestive system than whey protein. They are also a fantastic hypoallergenic protein source that most people can tolerate—as for many people, whey protein is derived from dairy so can cause intolerances. Rice and pea proteins are also suitable for those following a vegan or vegetarian diet.

Does BODY take the place of a probiotic?

+

Our products are wholefood supplements that contain probiotics and postbiotics, rather than probiotic supplements. Whilst probiotics are an important part of The Beauty Chef’s Inner Beauty Products, they are just one element that contributes to the many benefits. Our point of difference is our exclusive Flora Culture™ fermentation process. While probiotics you may find in the supermarket often only carry one or two species or strains, our formulas offer multiple, natural, food-based strains to help encourage microbial diversity. The addition of prebiotic-rich ingredients also helps to nourish the beneficial bacteria in your gut to further boost and balance digestive health.
