- Personal Experience: Whenever possible, we recommend products we've personally used or thoroughly researched
- Reader Value: We only recommend products we believe will genuinely help our readers succeed in growing or using loofah
- Quality Over Commission: We never recommend a product simply because it pays a higher commission
- Honest Reviews: If a product has drawbacks, we'll tell you about them
- No Pay-for-Play: Companies cannot pay us to write positive reviews
FTC Compliance
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines concerning the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising (16 CFR Part 255), we disclose our affiliate relationships.
Throughout our website, you'll see disclosures near affiliate links. These may appear as:
- "This post contains affiliate links"
- "As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases"
- "We may earn a commission if you purchase through our links"
Advertising and Sponsored Content
In addition to affiliate links, we may also display advertisements through Google AdSense or other advertising networks. We may also occasionally publish sponsored content.
Our policy on sponsored content:
- All sponsored posts are clearly labeled as "Sponsored" or "Paid Partnership"
- We maintain editorial control over the content and opinions expressed
- We only accept sponsorships from companies whose products align with our values
- Sponsored content must provide genuine value to our readers
Product Reviews
Some products we review are:
- Purchased by us: We buy many products ourselves to ensure unbiased reviews
- Provided for review: Occasionally, companies send us products to review. We always disclose when this is the case, and receiving a free product does not guarantee a positive review
- Researched extensively: For products we haven't personally tested, we conduct thorough research using multiple sources, customer reviews, and expert opinions
