Is Malée a clean beauty brand?

Clean beauty to Malée means that we consciously, sustainably, mindfully and honestly create, source, produce all of our products without the use of any ingredients that are proven to or suspected of causing harm. Our approach to formulating our products; if it is not beneficial to skin or important to the formulation then we do not include it. We make sure all out products are made using ethically sourced ingredients with the health of you and the preservation of the environment in mind.

How are Malée products different from other beauty brands?

We believe that personal success starts with self-care. That luxury shouldn’t come at a cost to the environment and that brands should give back to the communities to help build a better world. This means conscious luxury and beauty with purpose. With every Malée purchase, you know that you can trust every ingredient in the formula, that every product has a purpose and has been proven and rigorously tested for efficacy.

Product Information

What skin types are Malée products suitable for?

Our products are suitable for everyone, including sensitive and eczema prone skin. Ideal for all skin types: normal, dry, oily, combination and even those with rosacea. Have a specific question? We would love to assist. You can ask us on Instagram (@maleeonline) or Facebook (@maleeonline) or email us: hello@maleeonline.com

Do you test on animals?

Absolutely not. We love animals and wouldn’t do anything to put them in harm’s way. That is why we also formulate all of our products without animal derived ingredients.

How should I store my Malée products?

For the best results, please store your products in a cool dry place away from sunlight. Putting your products in the refrigerator can make products feel refreshing (Try this with our moisturising oil in the summer!), it doesn’t make products last longer. Remember this means the bathroom isn’t the most ideal place and with naturally derived ingredients, separation is natural and can happen.

How do I know the shelf life of my product?

We recommend after opening products to use them within 12 months of opening. When you purchase from our website, we recommend opening products within 6 months of delivery.

Are your products suitable for vegans?

Most of our products are vegan friendly. Our conditioning body scrub, moisturising oil, nourishing hand cream and conditioning body cream contain white beeswax (a by-product, it is humanely sources and no bee is harmed in its making). All our suppliers and ingredients are cruelty free.

Klarna Pay later in 3 interest-free instalments

Who is Klarna?

Klarna is a Swedish payment service provider that takes end-to-end responsibility for your payment. Klarna is the provider of smooth payments to more than 200,000 online stores. Over 90 million consumers worldwide have trusted Klarna to securely handle their payments.

How does Pay later in 3 interest-free instalments work?

Pay later in 3 interest-free instalments is a form of credit which allows you to spread the cost of your purchase over 3 equal payments. The payment for each instalment will automatically be collected from the debit or credit card you entered at checkout. Your first instalment will be collected when your order is confirmed by Malée and instalments 2 and 3 are scheduled 30 and 60 days later, respectively. You can always monitor your payments’ schedule in the Klarna app.

Am I eligible for Pay later in 3 interest-free instalments?

To use Pay later in 3 interest-free instalments you must be at least 18. Whilst this option is widely promoted, Pay later in 3 interest-free instalments is subject to your financial circumstances. When choosing Pay later in 3 interest-free instalments, our assessment will not affect your credit rating.

How can I increase my chances of being accepted for Pay later in 3 interest-free instalments?

Klarna is unique and offers Pay later in 3 interest-free instalments based on a number of factors such as the order value, previous order history and item availability. If you are 18 or over, you can improve your chances of being offered Pay later in 3 interest-free instalments by ensuring you provide your full name, accurate address details and arrange shipping to your registered billing address. All orders are assessed individually. Just because you have been accepted for Pay later in 3 interest-free instalments before does not mean it will be offered for every order. In turn, if your application for Pay later in 3 interest-free instalments is denied, it does not mean it will be denied for future orders.

What do I need to provide when I make a purchase?

If you want to make a purchase with Klarna using Pay later in 3 interest-free instalments, you’ll need to provide your mobile phone number, email address, current billing address and a debit or card card. The mobile number is required in case we need to reach you. All communications will be sent to your email address. It’s very important that you give us the correct details, as otherwise you will not receive your payment schedule and any updated order information.

Will a credit search take place?

Klarna may run so-called unrecorded enquiries (or soft credit searches) that do not affect credit scoring and are only visible to you and Klarna, but not visible to other lenders. Neither Klarna nor Malée Natural Science run credit searches against you that could impact your credit rating.

Why have I not been offered Pay later in 3 interest-free instalments?

Although Pay later in 3 interest-free instalments is widely promoted it is not always universally available. The Pay later in 3 interest-free instalments payment option is automatically generated by algorithms that are dependent upon a number of factors including address details, cardholder details, amount of order, the online store, previous order history and item availability.

What are my payment options with Klarna?

Payment for your Pay later in 3 interest-free instalments will automatically be collected from the debit or credit card you entered at checkout. The first payment is taken when the order is confirmed. The second and third instalments are collected 30 and 60 days, respectively, after the first instalment. You can always monitor your payments’ schedule in the Klarna app.

What happens if I cancel or return my order?

As soon as Malée Natural Science have accepted your cancellation/return, Klarna will cancel any future scheduled payments as well as refund any amounts due. The return will be reflected in the Klarna app immediately.

What happens if I don’t pay for my order?

Klarna will automatically attempt to collect your payment for your Pay later in 3 interest-free instalments purchase at Malée Natural Science from the debit or credit card you entered at checkout. If we are unable to collect your payment on the scheduled due date Klarna will make one further attempt to automatically collect payment two days later. Should this last payment attempt fail, Klarna will issue you a statement for the full outstanding order amount which will become payable 15 days later. Klarna shall notify you when a payment is due two days in advance of attempting to collect your payment and you can always monitor the due date in Klarna app at your convenience.

You will not be charged fees or interest for late and/or missed repayment(s). Your credit score will not be impacted by using Klarna’s ‘Pay later in 3 instalments’ product even if you have failed to pay on time. If you fail to make a payment you will be in default, and may be unable to use Klarna in the future. We may continue to attempt to collect overdue and currently due payments on subsequent due dates, or invoice you separately for the unpaid total. If you do not pay for your purchase, Klarna may engage with an external debt collection agency to collect on our behalf. Debt collection agencies are used as a last resort.

If a payment has been collected but you have not received payment confirmation, you can always check the status of your order and payments in the Klarna app or by logging in at www.klarna.com/uk .

What happens to my statement, when I've returned the goods?
