1. Scientific & Evidence Verification
All ingredient-based claims must be verified through:
- peer-reviewed studies
- dermatology consensus statements
- ingredient monographs from recognised bodies
- reputable medical databases
Only widely accepted, high-quality evidence is used. Conflicting evidence must be disclosed.
2. Product Data Verification
Before any product appears in a comparison table, the following must be verified:
- INCI ingredient list (cross-checked with manufacturer sources)
- active ingredient concentration
- intended use (serum, cleanser, treatment, etc.)
- packaging size for price/ML calculations
- rating consistency across retailers & regions
3. Ranking Verification & Editorial Integrity
Rankings are editorial and cannot be altered by sponsorship.
- Each ranking must have a documented scoring rationale.
- Every score must map to ingredient strength, usability, and formula quality.
- Affiliate partnerships must not influence ranking order.
Any ranking adjustments require updated verification notes and date stamps.
4. Affiliate Verification (Neutrality Check)
To ensure commercial transparency:
- affiliate links must be labelled “sponsored” or “affiliate”
- affiliate income must not change comparison order
- affiliate partners must be disclosed at Disclosure.bio
Verification.bio certifies compliance across all ronarn-linked domains.
5. Data Freshness & Update Verification
Product & ingredient data must be reviewed on a rolling schedule:
- ingredient science → every 12–18 months
- product availability → quarterly
- affiliate relationships → monthly
- ranking logic → per update
6. Relation to the Governance Framework
Verification.bio is one of the “core governance pillars” alongside:
Together, these ensure trustworthiness, accuracy and editorial independence across the full network.
