How do I sign in to my account?
Enter your email address on the sign-in page and we'll email you a 6-digit code. There's no password to remember. If you had an account on our old website, use the same email address.

How do I use a discount code or gift card?
Enter the code in the “Discount code or gift card” box at checkout. You can use one discount code per order. Gift cards are valid for at least three years from the date of purchase.

We'll email you an order confirmation as soon as you place your order. If you can't find it, check your junk or spam folder.
Can I change or cancel my order?
Unfortunately not. Orders go straight to our warehouse to be packed, so we can't change or cancel them once they're placed. Please check your items and delivery address before you pay.
What if I've entered the wrong delivery address?

04Our products
Are your products tested on animals?
No. BYS is 100% cruelty free and we never test on animals. We work with a small number of offshore suppliers, and every one of them must meet our requirements, including never testing ingredients or products on animals.
Is BYS PETA approved?
Yes. We're accredited cruelty free by PETA and listed on PETA's website.
Are your products vegan?
Most of our range is made with plant-based and synthetic ingredients, but some products contain beeswax, which isn't suitable for vegans. Please check the ingredients before you buy.
Where can I find the expiry date?
Cosmetics don't have to show an expiry date. Instead, every BYS product has a Period After Opening (PAO) symbol on the back of the label, which shows how many months you can use it for once it's opened.
How do you check the quality and safety of your products?
All our cosmetics follow the EU Cosmetics Regulation 1223/2009 and are Food and Drug Administration (FDA) compliant, so every product goes through testing before it's released. Our quality assurance teams in Australia and Asia make sure only the best products reach you.
Do your products contain palm oil?
Some of our products contain palm oil derivatives, and we try to make sure these come from sustainable and fair trade sources. We're working to use alternative ingredients where we can.
Are your products gluten free?
Our products don't contain ingredients made from barley, oats, rye, spelt or wheat, which are common sources of gluten. We can't guarantee the equipment used to make them is free of traces of gluten, so we suggest asking Coeliac Australia or your health practitioner for advice.
What's in your nail polish?
BYS nail polishes are 3-Free, which means they don't contain formaldehyde, toluene or dibutyl phthalate (DBP).
Is BYS a member of APCO?
The company behind BYS, G.F.A. (Aust) Pty Ltd, has been a signatory to the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO) since November 2012. You can read more on our Sustainable Beauty page.
