"Independent Research" & "Brand Claims Checked": The Badges, Explained

This site displays two specific badges directly near its hero section — worth understanding what each one is actually claiming.

What these two badges specifically state

"Independent research" and "Brand claims checked" sit alongside a third badge noting the update date — worth reading these as this site's own stated positioning as an independent reviewer, not a brand-authored page.

Why this framing matters given the site's own ingredient-verification gap

Worth reading these badges alongside this site's own admission that it could not confirm the complete ingredient list — "brand claims checked" here means checking what could be checked, not a claim that every brand statement was verified.
