Editorial policy

The Balmary aims to make skincare routines easier to think about without overstating what an article can establish. We keep claims measured, explain the limits of general information and welcome readers who flag an error.

Accuracy and scope

We check wording for clarity and avoid turning a product description or routine preference into a medical conclusion. Our articles do not diagnose, treat or promise results. Where a subject reaches beyond general skincare choices, we say so rather than pretending a routine article can settle it.

Independence

Editorial decisions are made for reader interest and relevance. Partnership arrangements do not buy a favourable editorial conclusion, and commercial material is kept distinct from independent editorial coverage.

Corrections

If you spot a factual error, unclear wording or a missing qualification, contact us with the page and the passage in question. We review the concern and correct or clarify the text when warranted.

Partner material and illustrations

Paid or otherwise agreed partner material is clearly labelled so readers can distinguish it from independent editorial work. Some illustrations on the site are AI-generated; they are illustrative and should not be read as photographs or evidence.

A working idea

A routine is a set of choices, not a test

We think skin care can be thoughtful without becoming elaborate. The useful routine is the one you can understand, enjoy and keep up with.
