5 fake Unbottled stores copied up to 232 of its products and cut prices by 65%
Five live storefronts use the Unbottled name: unbottled.shop, unbottledglow.shop, unbottledstore.shop, unbottleddirect.shop and unbottledbeauty.shop. All five run the same storefront code, carry 221 to 232 of the 242 products in Unbottled's official catalogue, and re-host the brand's product photos. A sixth .shop domain was already suspended. On Amazon.fr, four listings for unrelated solid shampoos and a soap holder put Unbottled in their titles. The French solid-cosmetics brand sells from unbottled.co; we found the stores through our scan, a certificate search and a lookalike-domain sweep.

The 5 stores share code and a support address
All five use the page title 'Soins Solides | Efficaces, Sains & Sans Plastique | Unbottled', the same French product copy and the same stylesheet file. Three open on the same hero image, Unbottled's SPF 50 face sun stick among frangipani flowers; the other two use different Unbottled campaign photos. The navigation varies slightly from store to store. The catalogue behind it stays the same.
All five show a 'What Our Customers Say' block of five-star reviews signed with a first name and surname, worded almost identically across stores ('Enfin des soins solides qui moussent vraiment !'). Three add a 'Why Choose Us' block claiming 10,000+ happy customers, 500+ products and 50+ countries. Every contact page lists the same support address at unbottled.com, a different domain from unbottled.co that the brand does not run.
Four of the five domains pointed to the same hosting network when we checked. The fifth, unbottleddirect.shop, sits behind a proxy that hides its origin server, and serves the same code.
They copied the whole catalogue: product names, product addresses, photos and descriptions.
What we caught
All five live domains are .shop names built on the brand, registered through one registrar between 11 May and 19 July 2026. Each store's product sitemap was generated on its registration day.
The stores list 254 to 264 products. 221 to 232 of their product addresses match Unbottled's own, from Shampoing Solide Tout Nu to Porte-Savon Magique.
Four stores show a crossed-out 'original' price and a 65% discount on the Tout Nu shampoo. It costs €12.90 on unbottled.co and was listed at $5.15 to $5.28.
Four Amazon.fr listings from three other brands put 'Unbottled' in the product title. None is an Unbottled product.
The evidence, piece by piece
Five .shop stores, registered between 11 May and 19 July 2026, all using Unbottled campaign photos.
The official Tout Nu shampoo photo, left, and the same file on the fake store. Image-hash distance: 0.
Recy-Trousse, face wash trio and Porte-Savon Magique, all 65% off a converted 'original' price.
Three five-star reviews and a 10,000+ customers claim. Reviewer names blurred.
Another brand's shampoo bar, titled 'Unbottled Shampooing Solide Noir'. Brand and seller blurred.
The brand's own prices, converted, then cut 65%
Unbottled publishes 242 products on unbottled.co. The clones' product addresses match 221 to 232 of them, plus a few products the brand no longer lists. The photos are Unbottled's files. We compared the Tout Nu shampoo images on unbottled.shop and unbottledglow.shop with the originals: the image-hash distance was 0 for two of the three photos and 4 for the third. They are the same pictures.
Prices showed in US dollars. The crossed-out 'original' is Unbottled's euro price converted: on unbottled.shop, €12.90 became $15.10, €8.90 became $10.42 and €19.90 became $23.29. Other stores used slightly different rates, so the shampoo's 'original' ranged from $14.71 to $15.10. The selling price is 35% of that figure. unbottled.shop, unbottledglow.shop, unbottledstore.shop and unbottleddirect.shop put a -65% badge on the Tout Nu shampoo. unbottledbeauty.shop showed it at the full converted $14.77, cut a selection of other items by 65%, and ran a banner promising up to 70% off.
A takedown of one leaves the others trading
unbottledshop.shop was registered on 3 May 2026, a week before the first live store. It is now on 'client hold' and no longer resolves, a status usually set when a registrar suspends a domain. Certificate logs show three more Unbottled-based .shop names that got certificates between November 2025 and March 2026 and are no longer registered. We could not see what they hosted, so we don't count them as stores.
Registration dates run from May to July, which suggests replacement domains are being added over time. Removing one leaves the others running.
Amazon sellers use the name as a search term
An Amazon.fr search for 'unbottled' returned Unbottled-brand listings plus four that borrow the name. Three are triangular shampoo bars 'with plant essence leaves' from two other brands, at €11.99 to €17.49, with titles like 'Unbottled Shampooing Solide Noir'. Two give China as the country of origin. The fourth is a set of three magnetic suction-cup soap holders sold as an 'Unbottled Holder'. Unbottled sells its own magnetic soap holder, the Porte-Savon Magique.
These listings use no Unbottled logo or photos and don't present themselves as Unbottled products. They use the name as a search term, so shoppers looking for the real thing see them too. We have not tested the products and make no claim about their quality.
Google Lens also found Unbottled product photos, logo visible, on pages from custom soap-box printers advertising their packaging. We could not tell whether that use was authorised, so we draw no conclusion.
How to shut it down
The takedown plan, step by step, built from the evidence above.
Report all 5 stores in one pack
Send the registrar and hosting providers one evidence pack showing the shared page title, code, catalogue and contact address across all five domains.
Prove the catalogue is yours
Include the product address matches, the re-hosted photos and the converted 'original' prices. Together they show the stores were built from your shop.
Get 'Unbottled' out of Amazon titles
Ask Amazon to remove 'Unbottled' from the titles of products that are not yours, starting with the shampoo bars and the soap holder.
Catch the next .shop name early
New Unbottled-based .shop domains have appeared every few weeks since May. Watch certificate logs and check each new name for the same page title and storefront code.
Shoppers see Unbottled's real catalogue at 65% off
A shopper on one of these stores sees Unbottled's photos, product names and descriptions, all correct because they were copied from the brand. What differs is the domain, the dollar prices and a range-wide discount that no brand runs. Anyone who writes in about an order is pointed to unbottled.com, a domain the brand does not run.
The five stores share code and a catalogue, so one evidence pack covers all of them. Reporting them together gives a better chance of stopping the operation than chasing one domain at a time.
