Terms of use

The conditions for using Layer & Strand’s informational editorial content, product data, merchant links and evidence records.

Informational purpose

Layer & Strand provides general editorial information about skin, scalp and hair-care products and ingredients. It does not diagnose conditions, prescribe treatment or replace a dermatologist, physician, pharmacist or other qualified professional. Seek appropriate care for persistent, severe, painful, spreading or otherwise concerning symptoms.

Product and formula information

Product identities, ingredient declarations, directions and warnings can change. Pages show what was checked, when it was checked and what remains uncertain. Unless a page explicitly says that a genuine identified pack was inspected, the record was checked online rather than through physical possession. Readers should inspect the current pack and follow its label and professional advice.

No universal recommendation

Comparisons explain differences and use cases; they do not promise that a product is suitable, safe or effective for every reader. Individual tolerability, diagnoses, medicines and local product classification can differ.

External links and purchases

Layer & Strand is not the seller, manufacturer or fulfilment provider for linked products. A destination link does not confirm price, seller, stock or availability. Affiliate status is stated near the link and in the affiliate disclosure.

Permitted use

Readers may access and link to public pages for personal, non-commercial use. Republishing substantial portions of the site's original writing, structured product dataset or formula comparisons without permission is not authorised. Brief quotation with attribution may be permitted by applicable law.

Corrections and availability

Layer & Strand may correct, update, archive or remove a public page while preserving the underlying editorial audit history where appropriate. The site may be unavailable during maintenance or incidents. Use the corrections pathway to report a material error.

Legal review

These terms must receive qualified legal review before public launch, including any jurisdiction, liability and dispute provisions appropriate to the operating entity. They are not intended to limit rights that cannot lawfully be limited.
