Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do you use real beef tallow? Why?

Yes. We use ORGANIC beef tallow from local farms, which is a naturally bioidentical lipid – its structure is very similar to the protective lipid film of human skin.

Thanks to this, it is very well absorbed, supports skin regeneration and helps restore its natural protective barrier without clogging pores.

The tallow comes from a by-product of the food industry, so no animals are raised for cosmetics. We use a raw material that would otherwise remain unused. It is a circular and low-emission solution.

2. Will beef tallow smell on the skin?

No.

ORGANIC beef tallow undergoes gentle multi-stage purification, which removes its natural aroma.

We then complement the scent with blends of Czech essential oils that are:

• 100% natural

• certified according to IFRA standards

• designed to gently complement the natural herbal scent of the product

The result is a clean, subtle herbal scent without any animalistic undertones.

3. Does beef tallow clog pores?

No.

Organic beef tallow has a structure very similar to the lipids naturally present in human skin. This makes it well accepted by the skin and helps support its natural balance.

When used correctly, it does not clog pores and may also be suitable for sensitive or problematic skin.

4. What skin types are your products suitable for?

Our products are designed to support the skin’s natural protective barrier.

They are particularly suitable for:

• dry and very dry skin

• sensitive and reactive skin

• skin prone to eczema

• skin exposed to cold, wind, or dry environments

Thanks to bioidentical lipids, they can also be suitable for normal skin as daily protective and regenerative care.

5. How should the product be used?

The products are highly concentrated, so a small amount is enough.

We recommend:

1. Warm a small amount between your fingers.

2. Apply to slightly damp skin.

3. Massage gently without rubbing.

Thanks to the anhydrous formulation, the product absorbs gradually and provides long-lasting nourishment.

6. How do your products smell?

Each product has its own aromatherapy composition.

Bohemian Day
A light, fresh scent with notes of lemon balm, lavender and citrus rosemary.

Bohemian Night
A soothing and warmer composition with lavender and valerian.

Bohemian Balm
A gentle herbal scent suitable for the whole family.

All fragrances are 100% natural and meet IFRA safety standards.

Other Questions

7. How long will an opened product last?

Thanks to the anhydrous formulation and high proportion of stable natural lipids, our products have a naturally long shelf life.

We recommend consuming the product within 6 months after opening, or up to 12 months when stored in the refrigerator.

They do not contain synthetic preservatives or alcohol. Stability is ensured by natural antioxidants and purity of production.

8. What does bioidentical composition mean?

Bioidentical means that the structure of the lipids used is very similar to the lipids naturally occurring in human skin.

Thanks to this similarity, the skin can easily absorb these substances and effectively use them to restore its natural protective barrier.

Our products therefore support the skin’s natural functioning without silicones or synthetic emulsifiers.

9. Where do your raw materials come from?

We use mostly local and European ingredients, especially from Czech and Moravian farms and herbalists.

This allows us to maintain strict quality control, ensure traceability of raw materials and minimize emissions associated with long-distance transportation.

10. How is your packaging composted?

Our jars are made of a biopolymer material that can naturally decompose even in home compost.

The material breaks down through the action of microorganisms without creating microplastics or toxic substances.

In a typical home compost environment, decomposition takes approximately 12–18 months.

11. Are your products vegan?

No, but they are ethical and sustainable.

Organic beef tallow is sourced locally as a by-product of the food industry. No animals are raised specifically for cosmetic production.

With this approach we use circular raw materials and reduce the environmental impact of production.

12. Do you test on animals?

No.

Our products are not tested on animals and fully comply with European Union legislation, which prohibits the testing of cosmetic products on animals.

13. What does PureCycle Beauty mean?

PureCycle Beauty is the closed-cycle principle behind every Bohemian Cosmetics product.

It includes:

• local ingredients

• bioidentical lipids

• low-emission production

• compostable packaging

The goal is to create cosmetics that respect the biology of the skin while minimizing environmental impact.

Additional Questions

14. What experiences do customers report with your products?

Many of our customers report that after regular use their skin feels calmer, softer and more balanced.

The most common feedback includes:

• improved comfort of very dry skin

• support of the natural skin barrier

• reduced feeling of tightness or irritation

• better overall hydration of the skin

As with any skincare product, individual results may vary depending on skin type and skincare routine.

15. Are your products safe for sensitive skin?

Our formulations are designed to be as simple and gentle as possible.

They are based on bioidentical lipids and natural plant ingredients, without water, synthetic emulsifiers or harsh preservatives.

However, every skin is unique. If you have extremely sensitive skin, we recommend testing the product on a small area of skin first.

16. Why do you use an anhydrous formulation?

Most conventional cosmetics contain 60–80% water.

Our products are formulated without water, which means:

• higher concentration of active ingredients

• no need for strong synthetic preservatives

• richer and longer-lasting nourishment for the skin

A small amount is therefore enough, and the product provides long-lasting support for the skin barrier.
