Editorial Policy

These are the rules we hold ourselves to. They exist so you can trust that a recommendation on Squalane Club reflects our honest read of the product, not whatever pays best.

Independence

No brand pays for placement, a ranking, or a positive review on this site — ever. We earn affiliate commissions (see our affiliate disclosure), but commissions never influence which products we pick or where they rank. When a cheaper option is the better buy, it wins, even if it pays us less.

No fabrication

We will never:

• Invent ratings, star scores, or review counts.
• Claim to have lab-tested products we haven't tested, or imply we own a test lab.
• Fabricate a price or a discount. Prices come live from the retailer; unknown prices show "Check price."
• Claim credentials we don't hold, such as a medical or dermatology qualification.

The on-page scores you see are our own editorial judgment based on the specs and formulation — clearly presented as opinion, never as clinical test results.

Sourcing & citations

Every ingredient, safety, or science claim is cited to an authoritative source — a dermatology reference, a peer-reviewed study, or a manufacturer's published specs. Where a claim can't be sourced, we soften it ("commonly reported") or cut it. We distinguish evidence-backed claims from anecdotal, community-reported ones. Our full selection method is on the How We Choose page.

Corrections

We fix mistakes. If you spot an error — a wrong spec, an out-of-date claim, a broken link — tell us on the contact pageand we'll investigate and correct it promptly. Material corrections are made openly rather than quietly.

Updates

Roundups and comparisons are reviewed at least quarterly, and sooner if a product is discontinued or reformulated. Ingredient explainers are reviewed when guidance materially changes. Each article shows a "Last updated" date so you know how current it is.
