Editorial standards

Trust needs visible rules, not just a good tone of voice.

This page explains how bylines, updates, sample handling, disclosures, and corrections should work in public.

Byline and datesStories should show who wrote them, when they were first published, and when later edits materially changed the read.

Method and scopeIngredient explainers, routine guides, and trend pieces should state what kind of article they are and what evidence they rely on.

Commercial boundariesReader-facing stories must not hide sponsorship, affiliate pressure, or sales routing inside editorial language.

How pages are built Send a correction About the desk

A calm standards-page still with one visible skincare bottle, a restrained proof cue, and quiet negative space built for mobile trust reading.

Editorial trust

Calm judgment only works when the method is public.

The site should show how a story was framed, what evidence it used, and where to challenge it.

Policy blocks

These are the public rules behind the article template.

They are written for readers first and keep search trust, disclosure logic, and editorial boundaries consistent.

How stories are built

KbeautyHunter is reader-first editorial. A story can be a desk explainer, a routine guide, a shopping judgment piece, or a trend filter, but the type should stay visible.

Sample and source handling

Product status, source mix, and practical limitations should be stated in the story when they materially shape the recommendation or interpretation.

Disclosure and pay-to-play

Commercial relationships must be explicit. Editorial copy should not imply independent judgment while quietly functioning as hidden promotion.

Corrections and reader challenge

Readers need one clear route for factual corrections, wording challenges, and source disputes. The page should not hide that route behind generic support language.

Correction flow

A correction path is only credible if the public route is obvious.

Reader corrections stay in a separate editorial lane so feedback does not get buried inside generic support or business intake.

Send the page URL, the disputed detail, and the correction claim through the public corrections route.

Desk review happens separately from commercial inquiry handling.

If the issue changes the public understanding of the article, the update date should move and the copy should be corrected visibly.

Trust routes

The trust pages should connect like one public system.

A reader should not have to guess whether to open About, Methodology, Standards, Corrections, or Contact next. These pages should behave like one visible route.
