Editorial Policy

Product information and sources

Factual product details come from identifiable provider, manufacturer, retailer, or other approved sources. We preserve source provenance, distinguish provider-supplied copy from SunShieldLab conclusions, and leave unknown facts unknown.

Canonical products and offers

SunShieldLab maintains one canonical product where appropriate while representing variants and merchant offers separately. Current prices and availability are observations with freshness limits, not permanent claims. Product matching is automated only when evidence is sufficient; ambiguous identities remain in review.

Recommendations and comparisons

Compare and selection experiences use available structured facts, variant distinctions, offer freshness, availability, and documented policies. Commission status is not a substitute for product relevance, factual accuracy, or a defensible comparison rationale.

AI assistance

AI may help organize known information, normalize titles, suggest classifications, draft metadata, or summarize approved evidence. It may not invent product facts, reviews, expertise, health claims, prices, availability, or certifications. Health-sensitive editorial work follows the claims and evidence policies and requires the applicable review.

Affiliate and sponsored content

SunShieldLab is the independent publisher; SunSkinLab is the separate owned merchant. Affiliate relationships and sponsorships are disclosed and do not authorize unsupported claims.

Corrections and updates

We review substantiated corrections, preserve meaningful source conflicts for investigation, and refresh provider observations and editorial material through documented workflows. Readers should identify the page, disputed fact, and reliable source when reporting an issue.
