Product Ratings (out of 5)
All products are rated on a scale of one to five in four categories: Performance, Presentation, Purity, and Value. Badges are also placed on reviews for items that are Cruelty-free, Vegan, and/or Gluten-free. Detailed information on these terms and reference images can be found below.
Performance
| Performance measures how well the product works under test conditions. Factors include effectiveness, duration, and ease of application. |
Presentation
| Presentation measures how well a product is packaged and marketed. This includes everything from the label on bottle to the company's website. |
Purity
| Purity measures natural ingredients and product eco-friendliness. Highest purity ratings come from recognizable, safe ingredients. EWG's Skin Deep Cosmetics Database is our primary source for information on ingredient safety |
Value
| Value measures price and availability relative to performance. This is not relative to the target market; budget and luxury items are tested side-by-side. Availability is essential to value, as shipping costs that arise from online-exclusive items are taken into account. |
