GlowAF is committed to publishing accurate, independent, and useful personal care guidance for Indian readers. This policy explains how our content is created, reviewed, and maintained.
Editorial Independence
GlowAF's editorial content is fully independent of our affiliate and commercial relationships. Product rankings, recommendations, and reviews are determined solely by our research and evaluation criteria · not by which brands offer the highest commission or request placement.
No brand can pay to be ranked higher, featured first, or reviewed more favourably. If we think a product isn't worth buying, we say so · even if we have an affiliate relationship with that brand.
How Content Is Created
Every guide on GlowAF is built through a consistent research process:
- Ingredient analysis · We evaluate the active ingredients in each product against published dermatological research and consensus
- Verified user reviews · We analyse reviews from verified purchasers on Amazon India, Nykaa, and Flipkart
- Dermatologist consensus · We reference Indian dermatology guidelines and expert recommendations where available
- Value for money · We consider Indian price points and compare value across budget, mid-range, and premium options
- Availability · We only recommend products available in India across major platforms
Who Writes Our Content
All GlowAF content is written by the founding editorial team with a focus on Indian skin concerns, climate, and budget realities. Our team researches each topic thoroughly before publishing. See our Author page for more.
Fact-Checking
We check factual claims · ingredient efficacy, clinical studies, product specifications, prices · before publishing. Where we cite clinical evidence, we link to or reference the source study. If we are uncertain about a claim, we do not publish it.
Affiliate Relationships
GlowAF participates in affiliate programmes. We disclose affiliate relationships on every page that contains affiliate links. Affiliate commissions do not influence our editorial decisions. See our full Affiliate Disclosure.
Updates and Accuracy
Personal care products, prices, and formulations change. We aim to review and update our major guides at least every 6 months. The "Last Updated" date on each article reflects when it was most recently reviewed.
Corrections
We correct errors promptly when they are identified. See our Corrections Policy for how to report an error and how we handle it.
Complaints
If you believe any content on GlowAF is inaccurate, misleading, or violates our editorial standards, please contact us with the specific article URL and the nature of your concern. We aim to respond within 5 working days.
