The Curator’s Filter
How a product earns the edit
PetalGlow is a curator, not a maker. We don't formulate, manufacture, or label any of these products. We pick them, test them, and credit the maker. Here's what has to be true for a product to make the shelf.
We Don’t Make It
PetalGlow is a curator. We don't formulate, manufacture, or label products. We pick from real makers and credit each one by name on the product page.
Cruelty-Free Maker
If the maker tests on animals, we don't list it. That's a baseline filter — not a marketing point.
Short Ingredient List
We read every list. If we can't pronounce most of it or the actives are at homeopathic doses, it doesn't make the edit.
Tested Before Listed
We try every product ourselves before we add it. If we wouldn't put it on our own face, it doesn't make the shelf.
Honest Category
If the maker sells it as a face oil, we list it as a face oil — not a hair oil because hair-oil queries get more searches. The maker's category wins.
Fair Pricing
Premium clean-beauty brands charge $80 for what we list at $35. We pass the absence of a $4M ad budget on to you. The makers we pick make that possible.
Maker Credited
Every product page names the maker (when known). When we're still sourcing the maker's full story, we say so honestly instead of slapping our name on it.
30-Day Returns
If a product doesn't work for your skin, return it within 30 days for a full refund. We pay return shipping in the US.
