What to Expect

Product verification timelines vary depending on documentation completeness and claim complexity. Our team works efficiently while maintaining a thorough, documentation-based review process.
What to Prepare
To begin the process, brands should be prepared to provide:
Brand and contact information
Product ingredient lists (INCI)
Documentation supporting ingredient or marketing claims
Supplier documentation (when applicable to claims)
Product labeling or packaging for review
IFRA Certificates or compliance statements for fragrance or essential oil components (when applicable)
After Verification
Verified products may display the Skincare Bureau™ Verified mark
The Verified mark may be used on product packaging, marketing materials, and product-specific webpages where the verified product is offered for sale
The Verified mark may not be used as a general brand mark or displayed on homepage-level branding
Use of the Verified mark is granted through an active annual license and is subject to renewal
Products are eligible for inclusion in the public directory
Brands build a portfolio of verified claims over time
Our Role
Verification is based on documentation review of ingredient claims.
The Skincare Bureau™ does not conduct laboratory testing or evaluate product safety, toxicity, or performance.
Our role is to assess clarity, consistency, and substantiation of claims based on the records provided.
