IMPORTANT: Clean Beauty Compass is for informational purposes only and is not intended to provide medical, health, or professional advice.

1. Not Medical or Health Advice

The information provided by Clean Beauty Compass, including risk assessments, ingredient safety information, and recommendations, is for informational and educational purposes only. It is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition, allergies, or product ingredients. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read or seen in the Extension.

2. Risk Assessment Limitations

The risk assessments provided by Clean Beauty Compass are based on:

  • Available scientific research and studies
  • Regulatory information from various health and safety organizations
  • General knowledge about ingredient safety

However, these assessments:

  • May not reflect the most current research or regulatory changes
  • Do not account for individual sensitivities, allergies, or health conditions
  • Are general in nature and may not apply to your specific situation
  • Should not be the sole basis for making health-related decisions

3. Data Accuracy and Quality

The quality of our assessments depends on the quality of the information provided by sellers on product pages.

Clean Beauty Compass extracts ingredient information from publicly available product listings on e-commerce websites. We cannot guarantee:

  • The accuracy or completeness of ingredient lists provided by sellers
  • That all ingredients are listed or properly identified
  • That ingredient information is up-to-date or current
  • That product formulations have not changed since the listing was created

For critical decisions, especially those involving allergies or health conditions, please verify ingredient information directly with the manufacturer or consult product packaging.

4. Individual Variations

Individual sensitivities and reactions to ingredients vary widely. What may be safe for one person may cause adverse reactions in another. Factors that can affect individual responses include:

  • Personal allergies and sensitivities
  • Existing health conditions
  • Medications being taken
  • Age and skin type
  • Frequency and method of product use
  • Combination with other products

The Extension does not and cannot account for these individual variations. Always consider your personal health history and consult with healthcare professionals when making decisions about product use.

5. No Warranty or Guarantee

Clean Beauty Compass makes no warranties or representations, express or implied, regarding:

  • The accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any information provided
  • The suitability of products for your specific needs or circumstances
  • The safety or effectiveness of any product or ingredient
  • The absence of errors or omissions in the Extension's analysis

The Extension is provided "as is" without any warranty of any kind, either express or implied.

6. Regulatory Status

Regulatory information provided by the Extension reflects general regulatory status in various jurisdictions but may not be comprehensive or current. Regulations vary by country and region, and may change over time.

The fact that an ingredient is permitted in a particular jurisdiction does not necessarily mean it is safe for all individuals, and the fact that an ingredient is restricted or banned does not necessarily mean it poses a risk in all contexts.

7. Scientific Research

Scientific understanding of ingredient safety evolves over time. New research may emerge that changes our understanding of ingredient risks or benefits. The Extension's assessments are based on information available at the time of analysis and may not reflect the most recent scientific findings.

Scientific studies cited or referenced by the Extension are provided for informational purposes only and should not be interpreted as definitive proof of safety or risk.

8. Product Formulation Changes

Manufacturers may change product formulations without updating online listings. The Extension analyzes information available on product pages, which may not reflect the current formulation of the product you receive.

Always check the actual product packaging for the most current and accurate ingredient information.

9. Third-Party Information

Clean Beauty Compass relies on information from third-party sources, including:

  • E-commerce websites (Amazon, Sephora, Target, etc.)
  • Scientific databases and research publications
  • Regulatory agencies and organizations

We are not responsible for the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of information provided by these third parties.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Clean Beauty Compass and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages resulting from:

  • Your use or inability to use the Extension
