Medical Disclaimer

Not a substitute for medical advice

IMPORTANT: The information provided by InciSister is for educational and informational purposes only. It is NOT intended to be, and should NOT be construed as, medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

InciSister provides ingredient analysis and safety ratings based on available scientific research and databases. However:

  • We are not medical professionals, dermatologists, or healthcare providers
  • Our analysis does not replace professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment
  • Individual reactions to ingredients can vary significantly
  • What works for one person may not work for another
  • Skin conditions and allergies require professional medical evaluation

Always seek the advice of a qualified healthcare provider, dermatologist, or other qualified health professional with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition, skin concern, or before making decisions about cosmetic products, especially if you have:

  • Known allergies or sensitivities
  • Existing skin conditions (eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, etc.)
  • Serious skin concerns
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding concerns
  • Medical conditions that may affect product safety

Accuracy Disclaimer

Information accuracy and limitations

While we strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information, we cannot guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of all information provided through InciSister.

Limitations include:

  • Ongoing Research: Cosmetic ingredient safety research is continuously evolving. New studies may change our understanding of ingredient safety over time.
  • Individual Variation: People react differently to ingredients. An ingredient that's safe for most people may cause reactions in others.
  • Product Formulation: The concentration and combination of ingredients matter. Our analysis is based on ingredient lists, not actual product testing.
  • Database Limitations: Our ingredient database may not include every possible ingredient or the most recent research findings.
  • Translation Accuracy: When translating INCI names or analyzing products in different languages, there may be interpretation differences.

We make reasonable efforts to keep our information current, but we cannot guarantee that all information is always accurate, complete, or up-to-date.

No Warranty Disclaimer

Limitation of Liability

Our liability limitations

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, InciSister, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and licensors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from or relating to your use of the service.

This includes, but is not limited to:

Product Recommendations Disclaimer

Not endorsements or guarantees

InciSister may provide safety ratings and recommendations based on ingredient analysis. However:

  • Not Endorsements: Our ratings are not endorsements of any product, brand, or company
  • No Guarantees: A "Good" rating does not guarantee that a product will work for you or that you won't have a reaction
  • Individual Results: Results vary from person to person based on individual skin type, sensitivities, and other factors
  • Full Product Testing: We analyze ingredients, not the final formulated product. Actual product performance may differ
  • No Financial Relationship: We do not have financial relationships with cosmetic companies that would influence our ratings

Always patch test new products and consult with a dermatologist if you have concerns about product safety or suitability for your skin.
