Corrections policy

What we correct, how a correction appears, and how to send us one.

What we correct

Wrong ingredient lists, wrong concentrations, wrong prices, wrong shade counts, wrong ownership, wrong dates, misattributed quotes, and any omission that leaves a materially false impression. Headlines, captions, alt text and metadata are corrected on the same basis as body copy.

How a correction appears

A material correction gets a dated note on the review saying what was wrong and what is now correct. We do not silently delete an error where understanding the change matters. Typos, formatting and style fixes are made without a note.

Reformulation updates

A reformulation is not a correction — the review was accurate about the old formula. We add a dated update, re-check the affected criteria, and adjust the score if the change is material. The previous score stays visible in the note so the direction of travel is clear.

Submitting a correction

Send the URL, the disputed passage, the correct information and your evidence. Photographs of packaging should show the full ingredient panel and a legible batch or period-after-opening mark where the claim depends on it.

Removal

We correct rather than delete. Removal is considered only for unlawful content, a verified privacy harm, or material that cannot responsibly be corrected. A brand disliking its score is not a reason for removal.

Shelfproof

Cosmetics brands, tested against their own claims.

We buy or independently verify what we can, read the full INCI list, and score every house on the same five criteria. No brand sees a review before it publishes.

Skin notice

Shelfproof publishes general consumer research about cosmetics brands. Nothing here is medical advice, a diagnosis, or a treatment plan. Cosmetic ingredients affect people differently — patch test new products, read the full ingredient list, and speak to a dermatologist or pharmacist about a persistent skin, scalp or eye condition. Formulas, prices and ownership change; check the brand's own site before you buy.
