Corrections Policy

Corrections Policy: Our Commitment to Accuracy and Accountability

Accurate information is the foundation of everything we publish at Kerassentials. Our readers rely on us for clear, trustworthy guidance on nail care, skin care, and topical products, and we take that responsibility seriously.

No publisher is perfect. Facts change, research evolves, and mistakes happen. What matters is how we respond. This Corrections Policy explains how we identify errors, how you can report them, and how we fix and communicate changes openly.

1. Our Commitment

We commit to the following:

We correct errors promptly. When we confirm a mistake, we fix it as quickly as is reasonably possible.
We are transparent. Where a correction is significant, we say so instead of quietly changing the text.
We do not hide mistakes. We do not delete or alter content in ways that disguise an error that readers may have relied on.
We keep content current. Health information and regulatory guidance change, and we update our articles accordingly.
We hold ourselves to our own standards. Our process is guided by the principles in our Editorial Policy.

2. What Counts as an Error

We treat the following as corrections or updates:

Factual errors. Incorrect statements about health topics, ingredients, regulations, dates, figures, or sources.
Outdated information. Content that was accurate when published but no longer reflects current research, regulatory guidance, or product details.
Misleading or unclear wording. Phrasing that could reasonably cause readers to misunderstand a claim, a limitation, or a risk.
Missing or incorrect disclosures. Failure to clearly disclose an affiliate relationship or other material connection, in line with the FTC Endorsement Guides.
Broken or inappropriate sources. Links that no longer work, point to the wrong page, or cite an unreliable source.
Attribution mistakes. Incorrectly attributed quotations, research findings, or statements.
Compliance concerns. Language that could be read as claiming a product diagnoses, treats, cures, or prevents a disease, which is inconsistent with our standards and with guidance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Matters of opinion, editorial judgment, or style are not treated as errors, although we welcome feedback on them through our Feedback Policy.

3. How to Report an Error

If you believe something on Kerassentials is inaccurate, outdated, or misleading, please tell us through our Contact Us page.

To help us act quickly, please include:

The page or article (title or URL)
The specific statement or section you believe is incorrect
A description of the problem and what you believe is accurate
Supporting sources, if possible, such as a link to a government health agency, a medical organization, or peer-reviewed research (for example, via PubMed or MedlinePlus)
Your contact details, if you would like a reply

Please do not include sensitive personal health information in your report. See our Privacy Policy for details on how we handle the information you send us.

4. Our Correction Process

Every report follows a structured review:

Step 1: Receipt

Your message is logged and passed to our editorial team. Where a reply is requested and appropriate, we aim to acknowledge it within 5 business days, though timing can vary with volume.

Step 2: Verification

We review the statement in question against reliable sources, such as the CDC, the FDA, professional medical organizations like the American Academy of Dermatology, and peer-reviewed research.

Step 3: Decision

We determine whether the report identifies a genuine error, an outdated statement, or a matter that is better handled as an update or clarification. Errors affecting reader safety, health claims, or required disclosures are given the highest priority.

Step 4: Action

If a correction is warranted, we revise the content. If we conclude that the content is accurate as written, we may explain our reasoning where a reply was requested.

Step 5: Publication and Notation

Corrections are published with the level of notice described in Section 5.

Step 6: Review of Related Content

When an error is found, we check other pages that may contain the same mistake and fix them as well.

Our editor is responsible for final decisions on corrections. You can learn more on our Editor Profile page.

5. Types of Corrections and How We Communicate Them

We use different levels of notice depending on the seriousness of the change:

Type of change	Examples	How we handle it
Minor edit	Typos, grammar, formatting, broken links	Fixed without a formal note
Update	New research, regulatory changes, updated product details	Content revised and the “Last reviewed” or “Updated” date changed
Correction	A factual error or misleading statement	Fixed, with a visible correction note stating what was changed
Major correction	An error that could affect reader safety, health decisions, purchasing decisions, or required disclosures	Fixed promptly, with a prominent correction note at the top of the page explaining the change
Removal	Content that cannot be verified or is no longer appropriate	Removed, with an explanation where appropriate

Where a correction note is used, it typically states what was incorrect, what has been changed, and when.

6. Updates and Content Reviews

Corrections are not only reactive. We also review our content proactively:

Articles are revisited periodically, particularly those covering health topics, product details, and regulatory matters.
We update content when new research or official guidance changes the picture.
Product information such as ingredients, directions, pricing, or terms of sale is time-sensitive. Because we do not control the seller’s website, readers should always confirm current details directly with the seller before purchasing.

The “Last reviewed” date on our pages shows when content was last checked or updated.

7. Corrections Related to Affiliate Disclosures

Transparency about how we earn revenue is part of our accuracy commitment. If a page is missing a required disclosure, or a disclosure is unclear or hard to notice, we treat it as a correction, and we fix it with priority.

Kerassentials is supported by affiliate commissions earned at no additional cost to readers. For details, see our Monetization Policy and our About Us page.

8. Corrections and AI-Assisted Content

Some of our content may be prepared with the help of AI-assisted tools, always under human review. If an error originated from a tool or process, we correct the content in the same way and review our workflow to reduce the chance of a repeat. Read more in our Artificial Intelligence Use Policy.

9. Requests Made by Companies, Sellers, or Third Parties

We welcome factual corrections from any source, including manufacturers, sellers, and experts. However:

Requests are evaluated on accuracy and evidence, not on commercial interest.
Third parties cannot require us to remove accurate, balanced information or to publish favorable coverage.
Affiliate relationships and commissions play no role in deciding whether a correction is made.

If you are a company or professional who believes our content contains a factual error, please contact us with supporting documentation.

10. Requests Involving Personal Data

If you believe that content on this site contains your personal information, or you wish to exercise privacy rights, such as rights provided by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), please see our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, and then contact us through the Contact Us page.

11. Limits of This Policy
