Why Trust Us

At Glowsly, we are committed to providing you with tried and true, unbiased information to help you understand beauty, health, and wellness in a way that will have you feeling your best. That’s why we focus on reliable, evidence-based advice across a broad spectrum. We know that one product or service won’t work the same for everyone, so we get our hands dirty. That means slathering our skin in lotion and potions, spending a week abstaining from all things electronic, and sitting in experts’ chairs for a full consultation before recommending skincare and beauty products, wellness trends, or health routines. If there are products we can’t get our hands on (yet!), we conduct extensive research and work with our network of trusted professionals to determine quality and weed out products we wouldn’t use ourselves. We’ll always be an open book, sharing our likes and dislikes about each and every product because we know no product is perfect. But, hey — if we stumble upon the first one, you’ll be the first to know!

Our Commitments

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Inclusivity at Glowsly is not just a campaign, it’s the foundation of our brand. Our goal has and always will be to create a safe space for all — a place where people from all walks of life can benefit from our advice, see themselves in us, and be celebrated for exactly who they are. We are committed to not only creating a sense of belonging through an emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion but also holding ourselves accountable. We are here to break standards, push boundaries, and represent real people. All people. 

Clean — Truly Clean

‘Clean’ means something different to everyone, but at Glowsly, we implement the highest standards to ensure a product we say is clean, is truly clean. That means it’s formulated without harsh ingredients like phthalates, formaldehyde, or even plastic microbeads, but still provides the beauty and skin boosts you want. Products marked as clean are thoroughly vetted to ensure they meet Glowsly clean standards, and we will always be transparent about the ingredients included — and not included — in each product. 

Sustainability and Planet Positive

Beauty may be skin deep, but it doesn’t stop at us. Our planet is facing an environmental crisis, and the beauty industry’s reliance on plastic packaging has played a significant role in climate change. We’re committed to making sustainable and planet-positive choices — and helping you do the same. This means we look for clean and sustainably sourced ingredients, a brand’s climate commitment, and the type of packaging for each product. The Earth is beautiful, and we’re committed to protecting it.

How We Choose Our Products

Honesty First

Helping you find products that make you feel your best is at the heart of everything we do, and it makes choosing products incredibly straightforward. Our writers and editors lean on their expertise in their respective fields to hand-pick products to test and research. Whether it’s the newest skincare line, an up-and-coming makeup brand, or the latest fitness tech, we investigate every facet of a product before recommending it. Our recommendations are only based on personal experiences with each product and never a brand partnership or relationship. Unless a product is clearly marked as sponsored, it was personally chosen by our experts and vetted against the toughest standards.

Transparent Methodologies

While we deploy different methodologies for each type of product, we are committed to transparency. Each review will include an overview of our methodology, so readers can better understand how we research and test a product. Our goal is to deploy a multi-faceted approach to ensure our reviews are applicable to everyone.

Affiliate Disclaimer

We may earn a commission from purchases made through our links, but we never let profit influence our recommendations. Each product is hand-picked by our team of experts, regardless of potential commission.
