Editorial Policy

Our Mission

At Hana Meraki, our mission is to demystify skincare through science. In an industry filled with marketing hype and fear-mongering, we stand for accuracy, transparency, and evidence-based beauty education. We believe that caring for your skin should be simple, effective, and grounded in facts.

Unbiased Product Reviews

Our product reviews are independent and unbiased. Here is our promise to you:

• We purchase the majority of products we review.
• If a product is gifted by a brand, it is clearly disclosed at the top of the review.
• We do not accept payment in exchange for positive reviews. Never.
• Our editors test products for a minimum of 4 weeks before writing a full review to assess true efficacy.

Fact-Checking Standards

Skincare is science. Every article explaining an ingredient, skin concern, or biological process is rigorously researched and fact-checked.

• We cite peer-reviewed medical journals and clinical studies.
• We consult with board-certified dermatologists and cosmetic chemists to verify our technical explanations.
• We clearly distinguish between scientific consensus and emerging theories.
