Disclaimer & Affiliate Disclosure

1. Not medical advice

Everything on Beauty Elixir, including tool results, ratings, routines, articles and FAQs, is general educational information. It is not a diagnosis, treatment plan or substitute for professional advice from a dermatologist, trichologist or doctor. Individual skin and hair differ, and an ingredient that is fine for most people can still irritate yours.

• Always patch test a new product on your jawline or inner arm for 2–3 days.
• Stop using any product that causes burning, swelling, rash or persistent redness, and seek medical help for severe reactions.
• See a doctor before using retinoids, strong acids or any prescription product, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have eczema, rosacea, psoriasis or cystic acne.
• "Fungal acne" and other conditions described here should be diagnosed by a qualified professional.

2. Accuracy of data

Comedogenic ratings come from published reference scales that are useful screens, not guarantees. Compatibility verdicts, routines, hair porosity results and spray estimates are rule-based. Product ingredient lists come from official brand sources on the date shown, but formulas vary by country and change over time. Batch-code conventions are set by manufacturers and may change. Prices and perfume similarity scores are approximate. Always read the pack. Our full approach is on the Methodology page.

3. Affiliate disclosure

Beauty Elixir is free because some links on the Site are affiliate links. If you click a "Shop", "Check price" or retailer link and then buy something, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. These links are marked with rel="sponsored".

We may also take part in other affiliate programmes (such as Nykaa). Commissions never influence our ratings, compatibility verdicts, scan results or dupe rankings. These are produced by the same published rules for every product, whether or not we earn from it.

4. Advertising

The Site may show ads served by Google AdSense. Ads are clearly separated from our content, and advertisers have no say over our editorial content or tool results.

5. Brands and trademarks

Brand, product and fragrance names (for example CeraVe, The Ordinary, Minimalist, Creed, Dior or Maison Francis Kurkdjian) are trademarks of their respective owners. We use them only to identify products, describe ingredients or compare scent profiles, which is nominative and descriptive use. Beauty Elixir is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any brand mentioned. "Dupe", "clone" and "inspired-by" fragrances are independent products made by other companies. They are not the original perfumes, and we do not claim they are identical to them.

6. External links

We link to other websites for reference and shopping. We are not responsible for their content, availability, pricing or practices.

7. Corrections

If you spot an error, such as an outdated formula or a wrong rating, please email hello@beautyelixir.in with the page link. We review corrections within 7 days.
