About & Disclosures
Clear information about who we are, how we earn money, and what we're not.
Who We Are
ClearHOCl.com is a content publisher and affiliate curator focused on cosmetics-safe education about HOCl face mists for sensitive skin and minimal routines. We're based in the EU and create English-language content.
We do not manufacture HOCl products. We are not the Responsible Person for any featured products under EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009. We are not medical professionals or dermatologists.
How We Make Money
Affiliate Commissions
We earn affiliate commissions when visitors click through our disclosed affiliate links and make purchases from merchant partners. This is our primary monetization method.
What this means for you:
- Links on our "Picks" page and any other product recommendation pages are affiliate links
- If you click through and buy, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you
- We only recommend products that fit our cosmetics-safe criteria — we do not promote products solely for commission rates
- Shipping honesty matters to us — if a product won't ship to your country, we'll tell you, even if it means lower affiliate earnings
Current Affiliate Partners (Provisional)
As of our soft launch:
- Clinisoothe+ — via Paid on Results affiliate network (UK/IE/CI DTC shipping only)
- HYPO21 — direct brand affiliate program (EU shipping details unclear; verify before ordering)
These partners may change as we verify shipping and terms. Any new affiliate relationships will be disclosed clearly on relevant pages.
What We Don't Do
- Sell our own HOCl products (private label is currently out of scope)
- Take payment for editorial placements without clear disclosure
- Inflate product claims to boost commissions
- Hide affiliate relationships
What We're Not
Not Medical Professionals
We do not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment recommendations. The content on this site is for cosmetic education only. If you have a medical skin condition or concern, consult a dermatologist or healthcare provider.
Not Manufacturers or Responsible Persons
We are not the manufacturer, importer, or Responsible Person for any HOCl products featured on this site. Under EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, the Responsible Person is responsible for product safety, labeling, and claims. That's the brand or distributor — not us.
Not Regulatory Authorities
We do not enforce or verify compliance with EU regulations. We provide educational content and honest opinions, but we are not a substitute for official guidance from regulatory bodies like the European Commission, national competent authorities, or notified bodies.
Editorial Standards
Cosmetics-Only Positioning
We focus exclusively on HOCl face mists as cosmetic products for gentle facial care. We do not promote or amplify:
- Medical treatment or disease cure claims
- Disinfectant or "kills 99.9% of germs" claims
- Wound-care or biocide claims inappropriate for cosmetic use
- Veterinary or pediatric medical claims
If a brand we feature uses medical or disinfectant language, we filter that out and present only cosmetics-safe information.
Shipping Honesty
We prioritize clear, honest shipping information. If a product is only available via direct-to-consumer shipping in certain countries (like UK/Ireland), we'll say so upfront — even if that means EU readers cannot easily convert on our affiliate links.
Patch-Test & Safety Reminders
We consistently remind readers to patch-test new products and stop use if irritation occurs. Even "gentle" or "sensitive-skin" products can cause reactions in individual cases.
Privacy & Data
We collect basic analytics to understand which pages are viewed and which affiliate links are clicked. See our Privacy Policy for full details on what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights under GDPR.
Contact & Questions
If you have questions about our affiliate relationships, editorial standards, or disclosures, or if you notice a claim on our site that doesn't meet our cosmetics-only standards, please contact us at clearhocl.com.
Detailed contact information will be added once DNS is fully configured.
Changes to This Page
We may update this page as we add new affiliate partners, clarify policies, or expand our content. Material changes will be noted with an updated date.
