More information on "Bee Bald"

[Mikekoz13]

Guys... the topic of a new line of products for bald men came up the other day. Those products were by a company named "Bee Bald". I emailed the company and told them that I am a Moderator on a head Shaving Forum and asked if they would be willing to send me any more information. I just received a reply a few minutes ago. The reply came as a WORD document but here is the text of that document:

BEE BALD™ MAN CARE PRODUCTS INTRODUCES SKIN CARE FOR MEN WHO AGREE THAT HAIR IS SO OVERRATED
A Collection of Products Fortified with Honey and Bee Pollen for Cleansing, Protecting, Healing and Refreshing Beautiful Bald Heads

Bald is the new bold when it comes to men’s grooming.  A trend that has been strong among athletes, musicians and actors for years is now gaining traction among the masses.  More and more men are taking charge of encroaching baldness and pro-actively shaving their heads.  From the board room to the big screen and everywhere in between men are baring it all and sporting smooth “Haute Heads.”
And to help them maintain this high-fashion, trendy look, BEE BALD™ MAN CARE PRODUCTS introduces a collection of innovative necessities packed with effective, high-quality ingredients including Honey and Bee Pollen, proven to have superior hydrating, antioxidant and antiseptic properties.   BEE BALD™ offers everything needed to cleanse, moisturize, soothe, refresh and protect the sensitive skin on the head.
A previously neglected category, men have been left to using basic shaving products and skin care products that do not meet the specific needs of those who are bald.  The skin on the head is very vascular and prone to heavier bleeding from nicks and scratches.  Additionally, the skin on the head is also slightly thinner and more susceptible to nature's elements.  It is also subject to sebaceous activity resulting in breakouts and the shine that can occur from oily skin and over exposure.
BEE BALD ™ addresses these specific conditions by incorporating the latest in skin care technology including enzymes, antioxidants, vitamins and botanicals with healing and antiseptic ingredients like Honey and Bee Pollen Extract.  This easy to use system delivers superior skin care to the scalp.
BEE BALD™ CLEAN gently exfoliates and thoroughly cleanses.  Impurities are washed away, leaving the entire head and face feeling totally clean, refreshed and revived.  Jojoba beads gently exfoliate while Vitamin B replenishes moisture and Allantoin protects, calms and soothes.  AHA’s deep clean the pores for debris, reducing pore size for an overall healthier look, and antioxidants Goji Berry and Vitamin E fight free radicals.  Licorice Root, Honey and Bee Pollen Extract are healing and antiseptic while protecting against pollution, UV rays and other inflammatory factors.  (Suggested Retail Price $19 for 4 oz.)
BEE BALD™ SMOOTH tones and hydrates the entire head and face while eliminating and preventing shine.  It also smoothes away fine lines and wrinkles, while moisturizing and preventing dry patches.  With Shea Butter for superior moisture and Ginger Root for free radical control it is also filled with antioxidants, healing and antiseptic ingredients including Licorice Root, Honey, Bee Pollen Extract, Goji Berry and Vitamin E.  Titanium Dioxide provides added protection against the sun. (Suggested Retail Price $21 for 1.7 oz.)
BEE BALD™ HEAL calms, soothes and improves the physical appearance of nicks, bruises, irritations and blemishes caused by shaving.   The healing and antiseptic properties of Honey and Bee Pollen provide immediate relief and help heal irritated skin while Oat, Arnica, Goji Berry, Vitamin E and Licorice Root soothe, hydrate and help restore a healthy balance to the entire head and face.  (Suggested Retail Price $17 for 1 oz.)
BEE BALD™ REFRESH wipes are the ideal solution to refresh your scalp and face anytime and anywhere.  Individual, washcloth-like wipes are infused with vitamins, antioxidants and antiseptic ingredients.  They help relieve dryness, wipe away shine, restore balance and leave the head and face clean, fresh and smooth.  (Suggested retail price $18 for a multi-pack of 30 and $18 for a carton of 30 individually wrapped wipes.)
BEE BALD™ MAN CARE PRODUCTS are set to launch in October 2012 at retailers nationwide and online at www.beebald.com.

Personally.... I think this line of products is probably doomed from the start. The products sound great and have great ingredients BUT once you look at the cost the old eyebrows have to go up.
I don't think $17 dollars for 1 ounce of any product is going to fly with most guys. The other prices are likewise, high in my opinion.

One thing that my recent venture into DE shaving has quickly taught me...... great products do NOT have to cost a lot.

[Laser Man]

Thanks for the info.  I agree - the prices are hair-raising even to a sly guy!

Thanks for posting Mike. The price was the thing that jumped out at me as well. It's going to be a tall order for them to enter the market and succeed with such expensive products.

[Slynito]

Yep, they're to damn proud of their products for me.

Thanks for the info on this product Mike.
Price will definitely be a factor on this, and I think they will have a hard time competing against HeadBlade and Bald Guyz, not to mention many other shave creams and gels, especially those that are well proven and established.
A big factor is the size versus price equation.

And yet, I can picture them slapping each other on the back and "high five-ing" because they've hit a home run with research and formulations and packaging and P.R.

Yeah, I don't think I'll be trying these out unless they have an introductory 90% off plus free shipping special. 5 bucks per ounce for shampoo? Not gonna happen in this Frontier.

My jaw dropped when I saw those prices... for just 1 ounce... I liked the sound of it, except that they all seemed to be about removing the shine, that I and many of us love and the price.

Beardman.... check out my additional topic(s) on Bee Bald. I've had some very nice interaction with the owner of the company. Totally changed my mind about trying the products.
