BEAUTY, WITH A LITTLE PERSPECTIVE.AUSTRALIAN EDITION · OUR STORY
How BeautySense approaches original writing, sources, commercial independence and corrections.
BeautySense publishes independent, general-interest beauty information for an Australian audience. We want each story to answer a genuine question and give readers useful context beyond the headline or front-of-bottle claim.
Our articles are prepared for BeautySense and presented under the BeautySense editorial desk byline. We do not invent named authors, interviews, clinical credentials, product-lab results, first-hand product trials, award endorsements or visitor testimonials. We distinguish an ingredient explanation from an independent product test and avoid presenting general guidance as personalised medical advice.
Where a claim concerns sun protection or Australian product regulation, we prioritise official information from Cancer Council Australia and the TGA. For general ingredient and skin-comfort context, we may consult DermNet and professional dermatology organisations. Sources are provided on guides where relevant. We do not imply an external organisation has approved or endorsed BeautySense by linking to it.
Cosmetic guidance is not individual medical care. We do not diagnose skin conditions, prescribe retinoids or recommend disregarding product directions. Our articles advise seeking qualified help for persistent reactions, allergies or medical concerns and taking particular care with products that have pregnancy-related warnings or interactions.
We do not use phrases such as “tested”, “tried”, “best in our lab” or “dermatologist approved” unless we possess substantiating evidence and make the circumstances clear. If we eventually publish shopping links or sponsored material, we will disclose material commercial relationships in context. Revenue does not determine our stated assessment or override safety information. See our full disclosure.
Our website uses original generated, unbranded editorial still-life imagery and purpose-made graphic illustrations. They are decorative or explanatory assets, not evidence that a particular branded product was used, purchased or tested. No depicted unbranded cosmetic carries a verified claim.
Original articles display a publication date. Material factual changes should be reviewed and the relevant page updated when appropriate; our content may need refreshing as product rules and guidance change. To flag an issue, email hello@beautysense.com.au with the page URL, issue and support. We assess substantiated concerns rather than promising a fixed response time.
