Transparency is at the heart of everything we do at Honest Beauty Picks. Here's how we earn revenue and maintain our editorial independence.
Required Legal Disclosure
In accordance with FTC guidelines concerning the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising, please be aware that some of the links on this website are affiliate links. If you click through and make a purchase, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you.
When you click on a product link on our site and make a purchase on Amazon or another retailer's website, we may earn a small commission. This commission comes from the retailer, not from you—you never pay extra when using our affiliate links.
For example, if a moisturizer costs $50 on Amazon, you'll pay exactly $50 whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to Amazon. The only difference is that when you use our link, Amazon pays us a small percentage (typically 3-10%) of the sale price as a referral fee.
We participate in the following affiliate programs:

Every product review is based on thorough research, testing (when possible), and honest assessment. We include both pros and cons for every product.
Brands cannot pay for better reviews or higher ratings. Our rankings are based solely on product quality, effectiveness, and value.
Our rating system (out of 10) is consistent across all products. We don't inflate ratings to drive sales—our average rating is 8.8/10, not 9.5+.
We recommend products at all price points, including budget-friendly drugstore options, not just expensive luxury items with higher commissions.
Creating comprehensive, honest product reviews requires significant time and resources:
Affiliate commissions allow us to provide this content for free while covering our operational costs. Without affiliate revenue, we would need to charge subscription fees or display intrusive advertising.
Using our affiliate links is entirely optional. You are free to:
Whether or not you use our affiliate links, our reviews remain freely available and honest. We're grateful for your support, but we understand if you prefer to shop without affiliate links.
Our product selection is based on:
We do not choose products based solely on commission rates. In fact, we frequently recommend budget-friendly options with lower commissions over expensive luxury products when we believe they offer better value.
We may update this disclosure from time to time to reflect changes in our affiliate partnerships or FTC guidelines. Any significant changes will be noted at the top of this page with the update date.
