Ingredient Desk
Our editorial standards
What readers can expect from Ingredient Desk coverage of skincare ingredient research.
Criteria first
We write down what matters before we look at options, so the list follows the criteria.
Sources over claims
Claims are checked against labels, specifications and primary sources.
Tradeoffs in the open
We say what an option gives up, not only what it does well.
Kept current
Articles carry their update dates, and material changes are noted.
