Beauty claims, under review.

CosmeticFountain makes cosmetic claims publicly auditable: every dossier is built around a claim, evidence strength, safety status, source count, methodology version, and explicit uncertainty.

Human review before public claims

Important: CosmeticFountain is not medical advice. Product and device decisions should be discussed with a qualified professional when health, pregnancy, medical conditions, prescriptions, or devices are involved. Read the full disclaimer.

What you get before you buy

Beauty claims deserve better questions.

The public grade is a two-axis judgment: evidence strength and safety status. The grade does not mean endorsement, and a strong evidence grade is not a guarantee of safety for every person.

How we decide

A public evidence-desk approach to beauty claims.

We separate marketing leads from evidence, verify source identifiers, route products to specialist experts, apply safety and regulatory gates, and require human review before publication.

  1. Reviewed evidence. Ingredient theory is separated from finished-product proof.
  2. Safety context. Irritation, contraindications, device risks, and regulatory concerns are surfaced separately from evidence strength.
  3. Conservative verdicts. A product never receives stronger language than the evidence allows.
