Beauty stores: rankings by country 2026
We compare chains and online stores that sell cosmetics, skincare and perfume themselves, only on facts anyone can check on the stores' own delivery, returns and legal pages: how many days you have to return an unopened item bought online, whether returns are free, whether delivery can be free and from what order value, whether an online order can be collected, how many shops the chain states, whether there is a loyalty programme, free samples and gift wrapping. We do not compare prices and we make no claims about the products themselves. Marketplaces where other sellers trade are not included. Stores whose sites are closed to automated checks stay outside the ranking and are listed separately.

Frequently asked questions
Which beauty store is the best?
The store in first place has the highest Score under our open methodology. This is not advice: look at what matters to you. If you buy online, check Returns; if you want an order today, check Delivery and pickup; if you shop often, check Loyalty and extras. Prices change daily, so compare the specific product.
Where does the data come from?
From the stores' own official pages (delivery, returns, terms, contacts or imprint), from official company registers and from the App Store. Every fact links to its page with the date we checked it.
Why don't you rate the products or check whether they are genuine?
We rate the store's published rules, not what is in the bottle. We have no laboratory and no way to test products, so we say nothing about their quality, safety or origin.
Why are well-known chains missing from the ranking?
Some large chains block automated visits, show their pages only through JavaScript, or forbid automated collection in their terms. We do not work around that. These stores stay in the list outside the ranking, and if a fact is missing it scores 0, so a known store can sit lower than you expect.
Can a store buy a place in the ranking?
No. The Score is calculated with the same formula for every store. Paid placements, if they ever appear, will be a separate block labelled as advertising and never affect the Score.
