The various products are easy to differentiate thanks to Organic Health and Beauty's Smart Guides, which help you choose the nutritional supplements that will best suit your unique and specific needs.

As their name implies, Organic Health and Beauty is focused on offering all-natural, organic supplements consisting of vegan, sustainably-grown ingredients. This represents a refreshing alternative for those who may be justifiably worried about the chemicals and additives used in many traditional supplements and pharmaceuticals.

Shipping rates are based on the weight and size of your order, and free shipping is offered on all orders over $100.

Quality

Organic Health and Beauty's product line varies in quality due to the fact that the company sells a wide variety of nutritional supplements, some of which are stamped with the Organic Health and Beauty logo, and some of which are produced by other manufacturers. The company's supplements use high quality natural ingredients such as Acai, Goji berries, Maca root, Camu Camu and Chia seeds, all of which have been popular in the "superfoods" segment of the nutritional supplement industry.

Much of Organic Health and Beauty's quality is found in the way the company has created its website. The company has published a series of Smart Guides (for Super Foods, Detox and Face Care) that explain the differences between the products and assist customers in making the smartest purchases depending on needs. The site itself is relatively easy to navigate, and a running Shopping Cart is constantly displayed above the left navigation menu to help you keep track of your order as you continue to select products for purchase. A list of resources (including a health articles library and links to other health and fitness sites) is located at the bottom of each page.

Ingredients

Each product page located on the Organic Health and Beauty website includes a full list of ingredients. However, these ingredients lists are not consistent across the site. Some of the ingredients lists offer a brief explanation of each ingredient, while others do not. Some of the lists consist of an actual photo of the product label, while others simply comprise a text list which may or may not be complete.

The ingredients used in Organic Health and Beauty nutritional supplements are all-natural, vegan and certified organic, or at least "wildcrafted" - another term for organic that does not imply actual certification. Organic Health and Beauty takes many steps to ensure that they understand the ingredients used in the products they sell, and they pass this information and understanding along to their customers through their Smart Guides.

Clinical Studies and Research

Unfortunately, Organic Health and Beauty does not provide a wealth of information regarding any research and/or clinical studies that have been performed on their supplements. Similarly, the company doesn't directly detail any of the studies performed on the ingredients used in their supplements, or suggest whether these studies have been performed in the first place.

However, the company does thoroughly explain the benefits possible with each supplement, and some of the product pages offer a bulleted list of ingredients with an explanation of each ingredient's purpose. The information is presented in a largely non-scientific manner, and allusions to clinical studies are non-specific as well.

This isn't to say that no clinical studies have been performed on the ingredients included in Organic Health and Beauty nutritional supplements, but you'll be left to your own devices if you wish to find and read them.

Effectiveness/Testimonials

The effectiveness of the products sold by Organic Health and Beauty inevitably vary, due to the fact that the company sells a broad range of products from several different manufacturers. With that said, Organic Health and Beauty makes every possible effort to ensure the effectiveness of each product in their catalog.

It's possible to gauge the effectiveness of the products sold by Organic Health and Beauty in general by viewing the company's Customer Service page, which includes a list of customer testimonials. Unfortunately, most of these testimonials are brief and have more to do with the company itself as opposed to the company's products, though they do offer some insight into whether or not the product line works.

For more specific information regarding the effectiveness of the various nutritional supplements, you'll need to view the individual supplement pages. Here, you'll find one to five-star ratings, along with brief review summaries, from customers who have actually tried the products. Note that some of the products are more extensively reviewed than others.

In order to maximize the effectiveness of Organic Health and Beauty nutritional supplements, it's advisable to view the company's Suggested Usage guidelines (available via links from many of the product pages). The guidelines for the kidney/bladder detox cleanse, for example, comes with an hour-by-hour schedule detailing the supplements you should take and the foods you should eat before, during and after the cleanse.

Customer Support

Organic Health and Beauty offers customer support via toll-free phone and an email web form located on their site. Phone support is available Monday through Friday, 9:00am until 6:00pm PST. The company maintains a home office in Calabasas, CA and a shipping center in St. Louis, MO.

Customer service at Organic Health and Beauty is known to be friendly and knowledgeable. The company maintains a strict privacy policy in which it does not sell or give any of your personal information to third parties under any circumstances. The company strives to ship orders the same day they're received, and orders are never shipped more than two business days from when they're placed. If an item is currently out of stock, Organic Health and Beauty will send you an email notification and split your order into multiple shipments (if necessary) at no additional charge.

Product Return Policy

If you're unsatisfied with any product from Organic Health and Beauty, you can return the item(s) for a full refund, minus the cost of shipping and handling. If you simply want to exchange the product instead, the company will cover the return shipping fees. Unfortunately, Organic Health and Beauty does not state how long customers have before they must decide whether to return the products, nor do they state whether it's possible to return opened bottles of merchandise.

Cost

Organic Health and Beauty sells all-natural nutritional supplements at reasonable prices, though actual product prices are subject to fluctuations in sales and retail prices. Shipping rates depend on your exact location in addition to the weight and size of your order, and free shipping is offered on all orders over $100.

There are a few ways in which you can receive discounts from Organic Health and Beauty, beginning with the company's Membership Rewards program. As a member of this program, you'll receive one point for each dollar you spend at the Organic Health and Beauty website. You can redeem these points for gift certificates at a rate of per 10 points. Gift certificates come in denominations of $25, $50, $75 and up.

You can also receive discounts from Organic Health and Beauty by signing up for their free email newsletter, which contains rotating sales and promotions on a variety of the company's products.

Summary

Organic Health and Beauty is an ideal online destination for those seeking all-natural organic nutritional supplements at affordable prices. The company offers a unique and diverse product line supported by product descriptions that are detailed and informative, if not scientifically extensive. However, this is par for the course with many organic supplement retailers, and the effectiveness of the products themselves is described by user testimonials, ingredients lists and benefits descriptions.

Organic Health and Beauty excels in the way in which it helps its customers find the nutritional supplements they're seeking. You can use the site's Smart Guides to determine which supplements will best suit your requirements, and any remaining confusion can be quickly resolved with a call to Organic Health and Beauty's customer support. The site is detailed and easy to navigate, reducing the chances that you'll need to contact customer service in the first place.

Although Organic Health and Beauty does have a few shortcomings (such as a vague return policy and a lack of extensive company information), they have a history of quickly shipping orders of safe, effective, all-natural products. This fact, in addition to their reasonable pricing and quality customer support, places them among the upper echelon of nutritional supplement retailers.
