SheaArdor makes money from affiliate links. I’d rather tell you that in the first sentence than bury it, so here it is, along with exactly how it works and what it does and doesn’t change about what you read here.
The plain version
Some of the links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and buy something, the retailer pays me a small commission. It never changes the price you pay — the commission comes out of the retailer’s margin, not your pocket. You will never pay more for using a link from this site, and you’ll never pay anything to read it.
Amazon
SheaArdor is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. I also take part in the Amazon Influencer Program, which is how my storefront works.
Other programs
I also belong to retailer affiliate programs run through networks such as Partnerize. The mechanics are identical: the link carries an identifier, the network credits the referral, and I’m paid a commission on a sale. What those networks receive when you click, and what they report back to me, is set out in full in the Privacy Policy — the short answer is that they get referral and order data, and I get commission totals, never your identity.
How I choose what to link to
This is the part that actually matters, so I want to be specific rather than reassuring:
- A commission never buys a recommendation. Nothing gets written about because the rate is good, and nothing gets ranked higher because it pays more. If two products are close, the better one wins and the commission is irrelevant.
- I only link to things I’d genuinely use — on my own face, in my own home, around my own baby. Where a category has a clean or non-toxic option worth having, that’s the one I look for first.
- I won’t invent a product or a claim. Links go to real listings I’ve actually looked at. I don’t quote prices, because they move constantly and a stale figure is just a small lie with a date on it.
- If something disappoints me, it comes down — or the post says so. A post that only ever says nice things isn’t a review, it’s an ad.
Sponsored and gifted items
If a brand ever pays me for a post, or sends something free, that post says so clearly at the top — not in a hashtag at the bottom. A gift buys a trial, not a verdict. As of today there is no paid sponsorship on this site.
Not professional advice
I’m a person who tries things and writes about them, not a dermatologist, doctor or pediatrician. Nothing here is medical advice. Patch-test what goes on your skin, read the label, and ask an actual professional about anything that concerns you or your baby.
Questions
If you ever want to know whether a particular link earns me anything, just ask — sheaardor@gmail.com. I’ll tell you.
