Affiliate disclosure
Last updated: 2026-04-30
Plain version: some outbound product links on this site are affiliate links. If you buy through them, we earn a commission. The price you pay is the same. Commissions do not change our verdicts.
How affiliate links work here
When you click "Shop on Amazon," "Buy at Credo," or any retailer link on a brand page, you may be sent through an affiliate tracker. If you complete a purchase within that retailer's attribution window, we receive a small commission — typically 1–10% of the sale.
Networks we participate in
- Amazon Associates (US) — tagged search and product links
- Impact — Credo Beauty, Detox Market, others
- Rakuten — select retailers
- ShareASale — select brand DTC programs
- Awin — select brand DTC programs
- Direct DTC programs — ~27 flagship brands run their own affiliate programs we participate in
As required by the FTC
As an Amazon Associate, NonToxic Checker earns from qualifying purchases. Other affiliate programs are operated by Impact, Rakuten, ShareASale, Awin, and individual brands. We disclose this material connection in compliance with the FTC's Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.
What does NOT change based on commissions
- Verdict scores — computed mechanically from certifications, flagged ingredients, lawsuit history, and recall record. See methodology.
- Red flags and green flags shown on each brand page
- Whether a brand is "published" — gated by the citation guard, not by whether they have an affiliate program
- Order of brands on category pages — sorted by verdict score, not by commission rate
Brands cannot pay to alter their verdict, increase their score, suppress red flags, or move up in our rankings. We will not accept money to do any of these things. If a brand asks, the answer is no.
Brands without affiliate programs
Many of the 120 brands we cover are not in any affiliate network. They get the same scoring, same review depth, and same placement as brands that pay commissions. The Amazon search fallback exists so every brand has an outbound link, regardless of affiliate status.
