Methodology
How we review
What our guides are based on, what we do not claim, and what remains your call to verify.
Sources
Our guides may draw on manufacturer manuals, product specification sheets, current merchant pages, and approved brand documentation. We do not copy product claims from search results or affiliate directories.
Hands-on testing
We claim hands-on testing only when it was actually performed and documented in the specific guide. If a guide does not describe a test, none should be assumed.
Ratings
We do not publish a rating unless it has a real source and a stated methodology. Our current guides contain no ratings.
Commercial relationships
When a page can earn a commission, we disclose that on the page itself, before the first merchant link.
Merchants control the sale
Merchants control final prices, checkout, availability, shipping, returns, warranties, and order support. Beauty Shelf Notes does not process orders.
Information changes
Product details and terms can change after a guide is reviewed. Please confirm current terms on the merchant page before buying.
