Editorial policy
K Beauty Desk publishes educational content about Korean skincare for a US audience. Pages are attributed to K Beauty Desk. We do not invent dermatologist, esthetician, or chemist bylines, and we do not claim a multi-person newsroom or clinical staff.
How a page is made
- Gather public materials we can check — brand ingredient lists, product labels, and publicly available dermatology or regulator education.
- Record product facts separately from editorial interpretation (who may prefer a formula, routine role, what to skip).
- Leave unknown fields unknown. Do not invent wear tests, ratings, prices, or medical conclusions.
- When a guide changes substantively, update the page date. Factual corrections are published on the page and can be requested by email (see Corrections below).
What we will not fabricate
We do not invent:
- clinical studies or scientific conclusions we have not sourced
- dermatologist quotes or endorsements
- customer reviews, Amazon ratings, or Olive Young rankings
- product prices, test scores, or “we tried it” notes unless testing happened
- medical diagnoses or guaranteed results
If information is unavailable, we say so.
Ingredients
Ingredient explainers and compatibility notes summarize publicly available dermatology education in our own words. We use cautious language. Unknown ingredient tags stay unknown. Compatibility is about how reasonable a pairing looks in a routine for a given reader — not about chemical impossibility or a treatment plan.
Commissions and product notes
Written evaluations are not rewritten to earn a retailer commission. Affiliate links, when shown, are labeled. Commissions do not change our product notes. Read our affiliate disclosure.
Voice
We write in natural American English. We stay science-aware without pretending to be a medical authority. We do not use clickbait, miracle language, or emoji-heavy beauty-blog copy.
Sourcing
Factual claims that need a source are written from publicly available education (for example dermatology or regulator pages) or from product labeling we could check. We do not treat Amazon reviews or Olive Young sales badges as editorial proof.
Corrections
When we publish a factual error, we correct it and update the page when the content changes. Send the URL and the issue to contact@kbeautydesk.com. See also Contact.
