Enquiries that are welcome

  • Corrections — if an ingredient detail, a regulatory reference, or any other fact here is wrong, send the source and it will be checked, corrected, and noted in the post.
  • Professional input — dermatologists, pharmacists, and cosmetic chemists are very welcome to point out anything that needs qualifying.
  • Brand and partnership enquiries — send the details and terms, and you will get a reply either way. Coverage is never guaranteed in advance.
  • Permission to quote — if you want to cite a post or reproduce a table, say where it will appear.
  • Topic suggestions — an ingredient you want broken down, or a product you want read through, is always a useful request.
  • Privacy requests — comment removal and other privacy matters go to the same address.
