Our Commitment to Transparency
At Paulinna, we believe in complete transparency about how we fund our website and maintain editorial independence. This disclosure explains our affiliate relationships and how they work.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Some articles on this website contain affiliate links to products and services we discuss. An affiliate link is a special URL that tracks when you click on it and make a purchase. When you buy a product through one of our affiliate links, we may receive a small commission from the retailer at no additional cost to you.
💡 Important: You never pay more when using our affiliate links. The price is always the same whether you use our link or go directly to the retailer.
How We Choose Products to Recommend
Our product recommendations are based on:
- Quality: Third-party testing, reputable manufacturers, quality ingredients
- Evidence: Scientific support for the product’s intended benefits
- Value: Fair pricing relative to quality and quantity
- Reputation: Customer reviews, brand track record, transparency
We do NOT base our recommendations on:
- Commission rates or affiliate payouts
- Paid promotional agreements
- Free products sent for review (unless explicitly disclosed)
Editorial Independence
Our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content:
- We write honest assessments of products, including limitations and drawbacks
- We recommend products we genuinely believe provide value
- We include non-affiliate alternatives when relevant
- We would never recommend a product solely because it offers a commission
- Negative information is never omitted to protect affiliate relationships
Our Affiliate Partners
We may earn commissions from the following types of affiliate programmes:
- Amazon Associates Programme
- Health and supplement retailer affiliate programmes
- Direct brand affiliate partnerships
- Other e-commerce affiliate networks
How Commissions Support Our Work
Affiliate commissions help us:
- Pay our writers and editors for quality content
- Fund ongoing research and fact-checking
- Cover website hosting and technical costs
- Keep our content free for all readers
- Maintain independence from advertiser influence
FTC and ASA Compliance
This disclosure is provided in accordance with:
- The UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) guidelines
- The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) requirements
- The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines for online endorsements
We clearly identify affiliate links within our content, typically through:
- Disclosure statements at the beginning or end of articles
- The phrase “affiliate link” near relevant links
- Product recommendation sections with clear commercial context
